The working principle of the ball valve is to make the valve unblocked or blocked by rotating the spool. The ball valve switch is light, small in size, can be made into a large diameter, reliable sealing, simple structure, convenient maintenance, the sealing surface and the spherical surface are often closed, and are not easily eroded by the medium, and are widely used in various industries.

Ball valve and plug valve are the same type of valve, only its closing part is a sphere, and the sphere rotates around the center line of the valve body to achieve opening and closing.

Ball valves are mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. Ball valve is a new type of valve that is widely used.

Folding Advantages

1. The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to the pipe section of the same length.

2. Simple structure, small size and light weight.

3. Tight and reliable, the sealing surface material of the ball valve is widely used in plastic, which has good sealing performance, and has also been widely used in vacuum systems.

4. Easy to operate, open and close quickly, just rotate 90° from fully open to fully closed, which is convenient for long-distance control.

5. The maintenance is convenient, the structure of the ball valve is simple, the sealing ring is generally movable, and the disassembly and replacement are more convenient.

6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and the valve seat are isolated from the medium, and the sealing surface of the valve will not be eroded when the medium passes through.

7. Wide range of applications, diameters ranging from small to several millimeters, large to several meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.

Ball valves have been widely used in petroleum, chemical, power generation, papermaking, atomic energy, aviation, rockets and other sectors, as well as people’s daily life.
