Ball Valve - Overview (Meaning, Applications, Types)

A Ball valve is a 90-degree on/off valve that handles the flow of a fluid or gas utilizing a pivoting ball having a bore. The Fluid can flow through or is barricaded by spinning the ball a quarter-turn around its axis. Ball valves are used to close off the fluid flow in one line while opening another line's fluid flow. These valves mix media from two sequences into one line or various media from one line into two separate lines, mainly in Steam, Oil, Water, gas, and other applications.

Ball valves are long-lasting and provide reliable sealing throughout their life cycle, closing securely even after extended periods of inactivity. These qualities make them an exceptional alternative for shutoff and regulatory applications compared to gates and globe valves.

Advantages of Ball Valve:

1. Unlock and lock quickly,

2. provide outflow resistents,

3. Light in weight and size, 

4. Less Damageable,

5. Stable in high-pressure, 

6. Long-lasting Service, 

7. Closed pack and economical
