BALL VALVES

Ball valves are fundamental components in various industries, offering efficient and reliable control over the flow of fluids and gases. The design makes them versatile for a wide range of applications and services.

A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a spherical closure element (the ball) to control the flow of fluids or gases through it. The ball has a hole (or port) through the center, which aligns with the inlet and outlet ports when in open position, allowing fluid or gases to flow through. Rotating the ball 90 degrees, closes the valve by blocking the flow path.

Ball valves are indispensable components in fluid control systems, offering efficient and reliable operation across diverse industries and applications. Their versatile, excellent shut-off characteristics, and low maintenance requirements make them a preferred choice for engineers and systems engineers seeking optimal performance and reliability in fluid handling systems.
