Common Features of Ball Valves

The best valve manufacturers and suppliers offer different kinds of valves made from different materials, including steel. Here, ball valves are no different from other ball valves because of the different materials used to make them. To define a ball valve, it is an angle-stroke valve used to control flow. It is a valve with a disc - a hole or port in the center of the ball. Keeping the two ends of the valve in line, it forms a channel for opening the valve and passing the flow.

In different industrial processes and applications, ball valves are known for providing reliability and long service life. Typically, ball valves use a rotating ball with a stem and bore. The valve body can be designed in different materials, such as steel or forged.

Common features of ball valves

1. Valve design ensures fire safety

To ensure fire safety, the valve body is connected to the ball and the connecting surface. In addition, metal wound gaskets are used for fire safety features. In addition, graphite rings are used to prevent media leakage.

2. Low flow resistance

Whether using full, regular or reduced ports, ball valves ensure no or low flow resistance. What makes particle resistance the same as friction resistance is that the ball valve has the same passage diameter as the pipe diameter. This allows full bore ball valves to provide the lowest flow resistance than other available types of ball valves.

3. Anti-static design

This construction includes a small diameter stainless steel ball and a spring that is too small in size. One type of hole is placed at the end of the stem for this purpose, while the other is placed in the cylinder of the stem. The purpose is to maintain the required contact with the valve body to keep possible static electricity away from the valve body.

4. Dimensions and Sealing

When making industrial applications, it is important to make the right choice for a porcelain ball valve that will fit well into the perfect space. Typical sizes available on the market range from ¼ to 48 inches, and the right choice can be made depending on the specific needs.

For sealing, most of the components used are made of bent substances including PTFE, PTFE. The sealing details combined with metal and non-steel substances are called soft seals. Well, the effectiveness of soft seals can be maintained, it requires less machining precision and tough surfaces.
