As a common valve type, ball valves have a number of significant characteristics that make them widely used in a variety of industries and applications. The following are the main features of the ball valve:
1. Low fluid resistance:
- The ball channel of the ball valve is round, and the diameter of the channel is equal to the inner diameter of the pipeline when it is fully opened, so the resistance of the fluid passing is very small.
2. Quick and convenient opening and closing:
- The opening and closing of the ball valve can be completed only by rotating 90 degrees, and the operation is fast and lightweight, easy to cut off.
3. Good sealing performance:
- Ball valve in the process of opening and closing, the ball and the seat form close contact, with good sealing performance, can prevent media leakage.
4. Simple structure, small size, light weight:
The structure of the ball valve is relatively simple and consists of a few parts, so it is small in size, light in weight and easy to install and maintain.
5. Wide range of application:
Ball valve has a wide range of diameters, from a few millimeters to a few meters, suitable for a variety of media and working conditions, including high temperature, high pressure, corrosive media, etc.
6. Adjustable flow:
- Some ball valves (such as V-shaped ball valves) have the function of regulating the flow rate, and the flow rate of the medium can be adjusted by changing the position of the ball.
7. Dustproof and anti-static:
- In specific applications, ball valves can be used to disperse materials and prevent metal particles from entering the pump chamber, while eliminating the risk of fire caused by static electricity.
8. Diversified connection methods:
- Ball valve can be selected according to the needs of flange connection, thread connection, welding connection and other connection methods to adapt to different pipeline systems.
9. A variety of driving options:
- Ball valve can be selected according to the actual needs of manual, electric, pneumatic and other driving methods to achieve remote control and automatic operation.
In summary, ball valve with its low fluid resistance, quick and convenient opening and closing, good sealing performance, simple and compact structure, wide range of application and other significant characteristics, in petroleum, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, sewage treatment and other industries have been widely used.
