Ball Valve
A ball valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids or gases in a pipeline. It consists of a spherical disc, also known as a ball, with a hole or port in the middle. When the ball valve is in the open position, the hole aligns with the pipeline, allowing the fluid or gas to flow through. Conversely, when the valve is closed, the ball rotates to block the flow, providing a tight seal. Ball valves are known for their durability and reliability, making them a popular choice in various industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing. They offer excellent shut-off capabilities, minimizing leakage and ensuring efficient flow control. Ball valves can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the application and the level of control required. Some ball valves are designed with a floating ball, while others have a trunnion-mounted ball, providing enhanced performance and stability. With their compact design and versatility, ball valves can handle a wide range of pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for both high-pressure and low-pressure applications. Whether you need to regulate the flow of water, oil, gas, or other fluids, a ball valve is a reliable and efficient choice.
