FAQ
What is the ball valves?
A ball valve is a special sort of valve, called a shut-off valve, which has a rotating ball with a hole inside that allows fluid to pass smoothly without leakage.
What are the components of a ball valve?
The components of a ball valve are the Rotary Ball, the Body, the Base, the Shaft, the Bonnet, and the Packing.
What are the applications of ball valves?
Ball valves play an essential role in many different applications. Ball valves are utilized in agriculture, construction, chemical industry, food, transportation and in the family.
What are the types of ball valves?
The type of ball valve depends on the individual and the needs of the application. If the requirements are simple,one-piece ball valve can be chosen; split ball valve has relatively high advantages and can be disassembled and repaired, while three-piece ball valve is relatively expensive, it also has more significant advantages and can be repaired directly, eliminating the trouble caused by disassembly.
How ball valves work?
The ball valve is a special shut-off valve that is capable of rotating a quarter turn, or ninety degrees. By rotating the ball valve, the fluid inside the pipe can pass smoothly, and if you want to stop the transmission, you can simply return it to its original state.
What are the advantages of ball valves?
The advantages of ball valves are significant, they are tightly sealed and difficult to leak, simple to operate, lighter in weight, diverse, and versatile.
What are the disadvantages of ball valves?
Ball valves are not suitable for use in permanent throttling applications and can be damaged by wear and tear in environments with suspended material.
What are the materials for ball valves?
Common materials include brass, stainless steel, PVC, titanium alloy, chrome, polypropylene, etc. Different materials have different characteristics.
Why do ball valves fail?
Ball valve failure generally has the following causes: ball valve packing loss of elasticity; ball valve into the internal contaminants, causing wear and corrosion on the ball valve; improper transportation or improper installation causing damage to the ball valve; lack of maintenance.
How to solve the failure of the ball valve?
Ball valve failures can be prevented by: regular inspection and maintenance, cleaning contaminants and replacing failed packing; proper installation of the ball valve according to instructions; and proper protection during transportation.
