Seven Advantages And Working Principles Of Flanged Ball Valve

Advantages of Flanged Ball Valve:

1. Easy to operate, quick opening and closing. A simple 90° rotation from fully open to fully closed facilitates remote control.

2. Simple structure, compact size, and light weight.

3. Wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and suitable for applications from high vacuum to high pressure.

4. Tight and reliable. Plastics are widely used as sealing surfaces for ball valves, providing excellent sealing properties and making them widely used in vacuum systems.

5. Low fluid resistance, with a resistance coefficient equivalent to that of a pipe section of the same length.

6. When fully open or closed, the sealing surfaces between the ball and seat are isolated from the medium, ensuring that the medium does not erode the valve sealing surfaces.

7. Easy maintenance. Ball valves have a simple structure, and the sealing rings are generally removable, making them easy to disassemble and replace.

Ball valves are widely used in various industries, including the petroleum, chemical, power generation, papermaking, atomic energy, aviation, and rocketry, as well as in our daily lives.

Working Principle of a Stainless Steel Ball Valve:

A ball valve operates by rotating the valve core to open or close the valve. Ball valves are lightweight, compact, and can be manufactured in large diameters. They offer reliable sealing, a simple structure, and easy maintenance. The sealing surface and the ball are always in a closed position, making them less susceptible to erosion by the medium. They are widely used in various industries.

Ball valves and plug valves are similar valves, except that the closing element is a sphere that rotates around the centerline of the valve body to open and close.

Ball valves are primarily used in pipelines to cut off, distribute, and change the flow direction of media. They are a widely used new type of valve.

Stainless steel ball valves primarily feature soft seals.
