Ball Valve

A ball valve uses a ball with a through hole as the closure member. A simple 90-degree rotation allows full opening or closing of the gas pipeline. When fully open, the flow passage is approximately the same size as the pipe diameter, resulting in very low resistance to gas flow. When closed, the ball is pressed against the resilient seat under mechanical force, achieving tight sealing with nearly zero leakage.

Featuring quick operation, reliable sealing and low flow resistance, ball valves are widely used as key control and safety isolation valves in natural gas transmission, compressed air systems, industrial gas pipelines, and pneumatic systems requiring frequent on-off or emergency shutdown. However, they are not suitable for applications requiring precise flow regulation.

Product description

Main Features

· Quick opening and closing: The valve can be fully opened or closed by rotating the stem only 90°, enabling fast operation.
· Extremely low flow resistance: When fully open, the valve passage is basically consistent with the pipe diameter, resulting in nearly zero fluid resistance and small pressure drop.
· Reliable sealing: When soft seals (such as PTFE) are adopted, zero leakage can usually be achieved with excellent sealing performance.
· Simple structure and easy maintenance: The valve body is compact, and the sealing ring is generally movable for easy replacement.
· Wide application range: Suitable for conditions from vacuum to high pressure and from small to large diameters, as well as various media such as water, oil and gas.
· Fireproof and antistatic: Specially designed ball valves feature fireproof structure (metal sealing remains effective after soft seal burnout) and antistatic function (ensuring static electricity discharge).
· Poor flow regulation performance: Due to its quick-opening flow characteristic, it is not suitable for applications requiring precise flow adjustment.
· Clear full-open/full-close positioning: With a limit structure, the opening positions (full open/full close) are clearly indicated.
