1. Design features
● One-piece structure: The valve body is composed of one-piece casting, with simple structure and easy to disassemble and maintain.
● Threaded connection: The two ends of the valve are connected by internal or external thread (thread), which is convenient for installation in the pipeline system.
● Ball Design: The valve core is a ball that can be opened or closed by rotating 90 degrees, and the operation is simple.
2. Principle of operation
● Rotate the valve stem with a handle or wrench to make the ball rotate.
● When the through-hole of the ball is aligned with the pipeline, the liquid will pass through; When the ball is rotated 90 degrees, the through hole is perpendicular to the pipeline, and the liquid is cut off.
3. Advantages
● Good sealing: Soft seal or metal seal is used to ensure good sealing performance.
● Flexible operation: It only takes 90 degrees of rotation to switch, and the operation is fast.
● Compact Structure: Small size, light weight, suitable for space-constrained occasions.
● High Strength: Usually made of stainless steel, brass and other materials, resistant to corrosion and high pressure.
4. Areas of application
● Widely used in piping systems for water, oil, gas and other liquids.
● Commonly used in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food and other industries.
