What Is A Ball Valve And How Does It Work?

What is 3 Piece Ball Valve, and what is its basic operating principle?
Valves, as a product, have appeared in many industrial products since the 19th century with the industrialization process in Europe and the United States. Subsequently, this product has continued to develop, and many new products have been launched by humans in order to meet different uses or application scenarios. The functions of these products are becoming more and more powerful, and the operation is becoming simpler and simpler. Among them, the ball valve that appeared in the 1950s is a very typical product. So what is a ball valve, and what is its basic operating principle?

First, what is a ball valve?

The so-called ball valve is actually a valve product that uses a sphere as a start and close part, which is controlled by a special transmission rod and can realize a rotational movement around the center axis of the ball valve. Due to the particularity of its start and close parts, this valve product can relatively easily realize the switch and adjustment function of the cutoff within the pipe diameter, and is widely used in the solid production process or transportation process with a relatively small particle radius.

Second, what is its basic operating principle?

Ball valve products appeared relatively late, and with the development of technology, manual, pneumatic, electric and other control methods have emerged. Regardless of the type of power source used, the basic operating principle is the same. The ball opening and closing parts inside the ball valve have many functions. Through simple operation control, the ball can be selected to achieve the purpose of current limiting or switching.

Third, what aspects can this product be used for?

Because of the particularity of the working principle of the ball valve, it is used by many petrochemical companies in the process of oil refining and transportation as a control valve; in addition, this equipment can also be used in many fields such as papermaking, municipal administration, and steel.
