Ball Valve Manufacturer
Valvesonly Europe is a preeminent Ball Valve Manufacturer in Italy. Ball valve stands tall as a versatile and important player. Ball Valve is a quarter-turn rotary motion valve that uses ball shaped disk to start or stop the flow of gas or liquid. It helps in regulating the flow of liquids or gases through pipeline and piping system, It take 90 degree turn to open or close the flow . When the valve is parallel to the pipeline it allows the flow and when its perpendicular to the pipe it stops the flow. They are used industry where there is a need of fast shut off capability. The ball valves has reliable sealing that prevents any form of leakage. It can withstand high pressure and temperatures and requires low maintenance .
Parts : All internal components of a ball valve are contained inside a casing or housing . It’s made up of hard materials, that protects the internal components of the valve .A ball valve body consists of the following components:
- Ball: The ball is a sphere that has a hole in the centre and that centre is called bore. It controls the flow of fluid. The ball being parallel to the system ensures smooth flow, while being cross stops the flow .
- Shaft: The shaft connects the ball to the control mechanism that turns it. It has seals to prevent fluid leaks. The shaft can be manually operated or controlled electronically or by pneumatic or hydraulic means.
- Bonnet: The bonnet is an extension of the housing, covering the shaft and its seals. It can be welded or bolted to the body and made of hard metal . It provides protection to the shaft .
- Seat: Seats are where the ball seals with the body, ensuring no fluid leaks. There's an upstream seat on the inlet side and a downstream seat on the outlet side. They create a tight seal when the valve is closed.
Understanding Ball Valve Types:
- Floating Ball Valve: We can picture a freely moving ball adjusting itself to ensure a tight seal, like a perfectly fitting puzzle piece.
- Trunnion-Mounted Ball Valve: In this type, the ball remains steady, ideal for situations where stability under high pressure is necessary to maintain flow control
- Fully Welded Ball Valve
- Top Entry Ball Valve
- Jacketed Ball Valve
- Double block and bleed ball Valve
- Side Inlet Ball Valve
- Forged Ball Valve
- Cast Iron and Cast Steel Ball Valve
- Heavy Duty Investment Casting Ball Valve
- Wafer Ball Valve
