What is a ball valve?

Ball valve manufacturer ATEX2Motorized ball valve2

The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a small torque. The completely equal internal cavity of the valve provides a straight flow channel with little resistance for the medium. It is generally considered that the ball valve is most suitable for direct opening and closing, but recent developments have designed the ball valve to throttle and control the flow. The main feature of the ball valve is its compact structure, easy operation and maintenance, suitable for general working media such as water, solvent, acid and natural gas, and also suitable for media with harsh working conditions, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene. The ball valve body can be integral or combined.
Evolution and working principle
The ball valve evolved from the plug valve. It has the same lifting action of rotating 90 degrees, but the difference is that the cock body is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. The ratio of the sphere to the channel opening should be such that when the sphere rotates 90 degrees, all the spheres should appear at the entrance and exit, thus cutting off the flow.
