What Are The Basics of Ball Valves?

Ball Valve Working Principle:

The ball valve has the action of rotating 90 degrees. The cock body is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. Ball valves are mainly used in pipelines to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of media:

When the ball valve rotates 90 degrees, the inlet and outlet should all present spherical surfaces, thereby closing the valve and cutting off the flow of the medium.

When the ball valve rotates 90 degrees, the ball openings should all appear at the inlet and outlet, thereby opening up the flow and there is basically no flow resistance.

Ball Valve Structure Principle:

The main features of ball valves are compact structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, and easy maintenance. The sealing surface and spherical surface are always in a closed state and are not easily eroded by the medium. They are easy to operate and maintain. They are suitable for general work such as water, solvents, acids, and natural gas. media, and is also suitable for media with harsh working conditions, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene, etc., and is widely used in various industries.

The ball valve body can be integral or combined. For example: 1PC ball valve, 2PC ball valve, 3PC ball valve，3 way ball valves.
