Quality Float Works products are the industry standard for stainless steel components for industrial applications where important qualities such as strength, excellent corrosion resistance and buoyancy are required. The high-quality workmanship and attention to detail associated with the production of Quality Float Works valve components, such as floating connectors, make them the optimal choice for use in the process industry and other industries where control is required flow.

The floating stainless steel connectors make them ideal for connecting stainless steel float valves or other devices at high pressure, high temperature or when immersed in water or aggressive liquids. Our stainless steel float valves are manufactured with 303 or 316 stainless steel and can be configured in a multiple thread configuration, which makes them extremely versatile for unique applications. Although the float valve is only a small component, it plays an important role in float valves in areas such as oil and gas, chemicals, etc.

FLOATING VALVES AND CONNECTORS AT WORK

A float valve, also called a ball valve, is a small mechanism used to regulate flow in tanks that contain liquid. Since float valves are used in many industries and applications, it can range from a large industrial chemical tank to a water tank in the bathroom. The function of the float valves is to control the flow and fill level of the tanks, avoiding overflows, while the valve connector connects the valve with the incoming liquid. Then, the valve is opened or closed by a lever connected to the float when it reaches the selected level. All the components, the valve, the float and the connector work together to ensure that the fluid remains at the ideal level with the minimum control required by specialists. For this reason, the use of high quality components has never been so important.

MATERIAL ISSUES

Since floating valves and their components, such as floating balls and connectors, are used in many areas with different temperatures, pressures and corrosivity, they must be manufactured with special attention to durability. Stainless steel has unprecedented corrosion resistance and stainless steel components do not have the same tendency to rust or deteriorate in difficult conditions.

At Quality Float Works, we produce a wide range of float valves and accessories with T303 and T316 stainless steel alloys, two of the most reliable. Our connections (also known as spud) can be used with any of the floating point shapes we offer, including custom feed parameters. With so many varieties available, it is not surprising that our products are commonly used to control the level of liquids in all sectors, from oil and gas processing to food processing.

CONTROL OF LIQUIDS IN THE PROCESS OF THE INDUSTRY

Fluid level control is one of the most important factors for the safety and general operation of facilities in the process industry, including gas and oil processing, chemicals and food. In these systems, durable and corrosion resistant liquid level control devices, such as floating spheres, valves and connectors, are an integral part of safety and quality standards. Although each sector has different requirements, stainless steel can withstand different levels of temperature, pressure, corrosivity and other factors that can contribute to the corrosion or oxidation of minor alloys. This reliable power allows the engineers and technical specialists of these companies to control the fluid level with confidence.
