Introduction To The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Ball Valves

  Introduction, characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of ball valves. Ball valves are not only simple in structure, good in sealing performance, but also small in size, light in weight, low in data consumption, small in installation size, and small in driving torque, simple in operation and easy to complete within the range of nominal diameter. Quick opening and closing is a valve variety developed in the past ten years.

    The use of ball valves is very extensive, and the variety and number of applications continue to expand, and it is developing in the direction of high temperature, high pressure, large mouth, high sealing, long life, excellent adjustment performance and multi-function of a valve. Its reliability and other performance indicators All have reached a high level, and have partially replaced gate valves, globe valves, and throttle valves.

    With the technological advancement of ball valves, it will be widely used in the foreseeable short-term, especially in oil and gas pipelines, oil refining and cracking equipment, and the nuclear industry. In addition, ball valves will also become the dominant valve types in large and medium-sized calibers and low- and medium-pressure ranges in other industries.

    The working principle of the ball valve is to unblock or block the valve by rotating the valve stem. The ball valve switch is light, small in size, can be made into a large diameter, has a firm seal, a simple structure, and is convenient to repair. The sealing surface and the spherical surface are often closed and are not easily eroded by the medium. It is widely used in various industries.
