| Ball Valve are the three different types of rotary valves used in
industrial plants. They are widely used in fluid-handling systems for
flow control. These types of rotary valves are suitable for corrosive
applications. They are used in detergent, pharmaceutical, chemical,
rubber, pulp and paper plants, water treatment systems, textile mills
and food processing plants, In general, ball valves offer many advantages
when contrasted with other valve types. They provide superior ease of
operation and can maintain and regulate high volume, high pressure and
high temperature flow. Most ball valves offer rugged construction providing
for a long service life, and a comparably low cost. Additionally, the
design of the regulating element allows the valve to function without
the complications of side loads, typical of butterfly or globe valves,
and the valve design permits inspection and repair of seats and seals
without removing the valves body from the pipeline. |
