What are the characteristics of the wide application of ball valves?

The ball valve is a new type of valve that came out in the 1950s. In just over 30 years, it is one of the valve varieties that have developed rapidly in the past ten years. In the pipeline, it is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. The ball valve designed as a V-shaped opening also has a good flow adjustment function. The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a small torque. The completely equal internal cavity of the valve provides a straight flow channel with little resistance for the medium. The ball valve is not only simple in structure, good in sealing performance, but also small in size, light in weight, low in material consumption, small in installation size, and small in driving torque within a certain nominal passage range. It is easy to operate, easy to achieve rapid opening and closing, and easy to operate And maintenance, suitable for general working media such as water, solvents, acids and natural gas, but also suitable for media with harsh working conditions, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene. The valve body of the ball valve can be integral or combined.
