Global Steel produces Ball Valves on a large scale and in high quality. Ball valves are on/off mechanisms with a quarter-turn. The valve’s movable ball in the middle regulates the flow of gas or liquid media. The rotating ball often referred to as a rotary ball, has a bore in the middle. The ball is rotated to open or close the valve via a stem on its top. The stem may be rotated manually or automatically using levers. Ball valves are most frequently composed of steel, iron, brass, bronze, or PVC.
How do Ball Valves work?
A ball valve is a shut-off valve that regulates the flow of a liquid or gas by using a rotating ball with a bore. The medium can pass through or is stopped by turning the ball 90 degrees around its axis. They are distinguished by a long service life and offer consistent sealing throughout the lifespan, even when the valve is not used for an extended period. They are therefore more widely used as a shut-off valve than, say, a gate valve. Read our post on gate valves vs. ball valves for a detailed comparison. Most other valves are less resistant to polluted media than ball valves.
SS Ball valves are control valves in several unique configurations. Due to the comparatively poor precision of flow rate control compared to other types of control valves, this application is less prevalent. However, the valve also has specific benefits in this situation. For instance, it guarantees a trustworthy seal even when the medium is soiled.
Ball valves provide several significant benefits over other valve designs, including:
