Details
A ball valve is a versatile and widely used mechanical valve that controls the flow of liquids or gases through a pipe by means of a perforated, hollow sphere (the ball) within the valve body. The ball has a central bore that aligns with the pipeline when the valve is open, allowing fluid to pass through. When the valve is closed, the ball is rotated perpendicular to the pipeline, blocking the flow. Ball valves are known for their reliability, durability, and quick operation, making them suitable for a diverse range of applications. They are commonly used in industrial processes, water supply systems, and various other fluid-handling systems due to their ability to provide tight shut-off, efficient flow control, and minimal pressure drop. The simplicity of design, low maintenance requirements, and the ability to operate with a quarter-turn make ball valves a popular choice for both on/off and throttling applications in different industries.
