Description
A ball valve is an on/off valve that controls the flow of liquid or gas with a rotating ball with a hole in the middle.
How Does Ball Valve Work?
By rotating the ball a quarter of a turn (90 degrees) around its axis, the medium can flow through it or block it. Even when these long-lasting valves are not used for a long time, they keep the system safety at the highest level by providing a reliable seal throughout their lifetime. It is a type of valve that is frequently used especially in the plumbing industry.
Usage Areas of Ball Valves
Preferred for many plumbing and industrial applications, ball valves can actually be used wherever the flow needs to be shut off. Ball valves are widely used in food, chemical, medicine, etc. Sectors that require hygiene such as mud are also used.
