IDEA #470LK6 Double-stop floating ball valve

Valve assemblies and methods of designing valve assemblies having a valve ball, an upper seat, and a lower seat. When fluid pressure is applied to the valve ball, the valve ball will float in the axial direction between an upper position, a neutral position, and a lower position in response to fluid pressure. The valve assembly may be made suitable for internal blowout preventers. https://app.acclaimip.com/pdf/mt3zGrUiilP13fN_UCKKX55YskYX1zH_v13sUJs/US7350765B2
