The high-platform ball valve is an improved version of the regular ball valve; it possesses all the functions of a regular ball valve, while also having a more attractive and refined design. It is very convenient to install electric or pneumatic actuators on platform ball valves; this also eliminates the need for brackets, reducing costs and improving production efficiency. Moreover, it **enhances the stability between the valve and the actuator. Its performance is also very stable in use, so issues such as a loose bracket or excessive clearance in the coupling do not affect the overall functionality of the valve. While ordinary ball valves cannot do this. Basic properties of high-platform ball valves: Product name: Ball valve with platform; Product model: Q41F; Connection methods: Flange connection, threaded connection, welding; Actuation method: Pneumatic or electric; Structural feature: Floating type; Pressure range: 1.6–6.3 MPa, 150LB–600LB; Flow characteristics: Full bore; Sealing features: Sealing achieved using PTFE, PPL, carbon fiber, etc.; Sealing type: Double-sided sealing; Leakage level: 0 leakage; Operating temperature: 150–300°; Applicable media: Water, oils, steam, natural gas, particles, powders, fibers, etc. Materials used: cast steel, stainless steel – 304, 316, 316L, 304L, etc. Main dimensions of the high-platform ball valve and sizes of the connection flanges: Nominal diameter DN; Overall dimensions; Connection flange sizes; Actuator models: LL112HDD1D2Cfn-φd 15: 130×140/178×62/75×185/191×95; 65×46×142×4-φ14GTD52/GTE65. 20: 130×140/178×62/75×191/197×105; 75×56×162×4-φ14GTD52/GTE65. 25: 140×140/214×62/91×193/227×115; 85×65×162×4-φ14GTD52/GTE80. 32: 165×164/214×75/91×212/240×140×100; 76×183×4-φ18GTD65/GTE80. 40: 165×164/246×75/101×217/255×150; 110×84×183×4-φ18GTD65/GTE90. 50: 203×190/295×91/112×260/286×165; 125×99×203×4-φ18GTD80/GTE100. 65: 222×210/295×101/112×293/309×185; 145×118×203×4-φ18GTD90/GTE100. 80: 241×247/395×112/139×323/349×200; 160×132×203×8-φ18GTD100/GTE125. 100: 305×276/478×127/176×382/438×220; 180×156×223×8-φ18GTD115/GTE160. 125: 356×348/562×159/206×468/534×250; 210×184×223×8-φ18GTD140/GTE190. 150: 394×378/724×176/228×510/582×285; 240×211×243×8-φ22GTD160/GTE210. 200: 457×524/928×228/275×655/702×340; 295×266×243×12-φ22GTD210/GTE255

The answer was excellent and detailed; I also learned from it, great:D

High-platform ball valves are generally non-manual and come with actuators; the platform allows direct connection to the actuator, eliminating the need for additional connecting brackets. There are standard dimensions for platforms, with the ISO standard being commonly used
