Ball valve as a common type of valve, has a wide range of applications and a variety of uses. The following is the main purpose of the ball valve introduction:
First, cut off or connect the pipeline medium
The most basic function of the ball valve is to cut off or connect the medium in the pipeline. By rotating the ball, the valve can be quickly opened or closed to control the flow of the medium. This function makes the ball valve widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipeline, chemical industry, paper making, pharmaceutical, water conservancy, electric power, municipal, steel and other industries.
Second, adjust the fluid flow
Some ball valves (such as V-shaped ball valves) have the function of regulating fluid flow. By changing the rotation Angle of the ball, the flow rate of the medium can be adjusted to achieve accurate flow control. This function allows ball valves to be used in situations where precise control of fluid flow is required, such as feed control for chemical reactors.
Third, change the flow direction of the medium
Ball valves can also be used to change the flow direction of the medium. Multi-pass ball valves (such as T-type, L-type, etc.) can flexibly control the confluence, diversion and flow direction of the medium on the pipeline to meet the needs of complex pipeline systems.
Fourth, prevent the backflow of the medium
Ball valves can also play an important role in situations where the medium needs to be prevented from backflowing. By installing special types of ball valves such as check ball valves, the media can be prevented from flowing back in the pipeline to ensure the normal operation of the system.
Fifth, other special purposes
In addition to the above basic uses, ball valves can also be customized and designed according to specific needs to meet the needs of special occasions. For example, in the need for high temperature, high pressure, corrosion and other extreme working conditions, special material ball valves and seals can be used to ensure the normal operation of the valve and long-term stability.
Application field example
Petroleum refining: In the petroleum refining process, ball valves are used to control the flow and truncation of various oil products to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.
Long-distance pipeline: In the long-distance pipeline system, the ball valve is used to cut off or connect the long-distance transmission medium (such as natural gas, crude oil, etc.) to ensure the safe and stable operation of the pipeline.
Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, ball valves are used to control the flow of various corrosive media and feed control during the reaction process.
Pharmaceutical: In the pharmaceutical industry, ball valves are used to control the flow and truncation of various fluid media in the pharmaceutical production process.
To sum up, ball valves are widely used in many industries with their unique structure and performance advantages, and have become one of the indispensable and important components in pipeline systems.
