Two Major Features Of High-pressure Ball Valves

The difference between 3 Way Flanged Ball Valve and ordinary valves is that its opening and closing components are designed as spherical bodies, which are driven by the valve stem to rotate around the axis of the sealing surface to regulate the fluid. It is an important fluid control component device. Below, we will introduce the high-pressure ball valve in detail.

1、 Applicable fields

As one of the basic pipeline fluid control components, high-pressure ball valves have a wide range of applications, but at the same time, compared with other valve types, they have their own unique characteristics. High pressure ball valves function by rotating their opening and closing components, mainly to connect or cut off fluids, and can also be used to regulate and control fluids, while high-pressure gate valves function by lifting and lowering movements.

Another characteristic of high-pressure ball valves is that they can generate significant shear forces between their internal valve cores and hard alloy valve seats. Therefore, they are not only suitable for connecting and cutting off fluids, liquids, and natural gas, but also for fluid media containing small solid particles and fibers. If it is a high-pressure ball valve with a multi way design, it can also more flexibly control the diversion, merging, and direction switching of fluid media.

2、 Advantages of use

Compared with high-pressure gate valves, high-pressure ball valves can withstand very small fluid pressures, and full bore valves even have no fluid resistance. Moreover, it has a wide range of applications and can be used under both high pressure and high vacuum conditions.

Due to the high shear force between the ball core and valve seat, high-pressure ball valves are well suited for controlling and regulating fluid media containing solid suspended particles. When fully open or fully open, they are isolated from the medium and will not be corroded by the medium.

That's all for the applicable fields and advantages of high-pressure ball valves. If you have a demand, be sure to find a reputable merchant for procurement.
