Industrial Ball Valves

Industrial Ball Valves

Ball valves are robust and reliable valve types that are generally preferred in high pressure and high temperature applications. Typically, they are widely used in the control of various flow media such as liquid, gas or vapor used in industrial processes.

An industrial ball valve may include a body, a spherical disc, several retarders and seal elements. The disc is inserted into the stem to cut off flow when the valve is closed and allows flow to pass freely when it is opened. Most ball valves come with a control mechanism or actuator to regulate control.

Advantages of industrial ball valves are:

1. High pressure and temperature resistance: Ball valves can be used reliably in high pressure and high temperature applications.
2. Rapid opening and closing: Ball valves often have rapid opening and closing capabilities, increasing responsiveness in process control.
3. Low pressure loss: Ball valves minimize the pressure loss that occurs when the flow medium passes through the valve.

Industrial ball valves are widely used in many different industrial applications such as petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, water and wastewater processing, chemical, food and beverage industries.
