Ball valve features and uses briefly

Ball valve and plug valve is the same type of valve, as long as its closing piece is a sphere, the sphere around the center line of the valve body for rotation to reach open, closed a valve. Ball valve in the pipeline is used first to do the blocking, distribution and change the direction of media activities. The ball valve has the following advantages: the fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is flat with the same length of the pipe section.

 

Simple structure, small size and light weight. Tight and reliable, now the ball valve sealing surface information widely used plastic, good sealing, in the vacuum system has also been widely used. Easy to operate, quick to open and close, only need to rotate 90 degrees from full open to full close, which is convenient for long-distance control, easy to repair, simple ball valve structure, sealing ring is generally movable, and it is convenient to disassemble and replace.

When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and the valve seat is isolated from the medium, and the medium passes through the period, which will not cause corrosion of the valve sealing surface. It has a wide range of applications, with a diameter from a few millimeters to a few meters, and can be used from high vacuum to high pressure. Ball valve has been widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, liquefied gas, water supply and drainage, food, pharmaceutical, power generation, papermaking, urban construction, mining, boiler steam system, municipal, atomic energy, aviation, rockets and other departments, as well as people's daily life.

The ball valve is mainly used to connect or block the pipeline medium, especially in the parts that require quick opening and closing, such as emergency unloading. Because of its simple structure, less parts, light weight, good sealing performance and other advantages, the use of more and more widely. Structure: mainly by the valve body, valve cover, sealing seat, ball and stem and other components.
