A ball valve is a common piece of industrial equipment that works by allowing fluids to flow through it. The valve’s stem is connected to a manual control mechanism, such as a handle or lever. The stem turns a rotary ball that is attached to a stem that controls how it opens or closes. The valve is also typically controlled by an electric or pneumatic actuator. When used in the manufacturing process, a ball valve can regulate fluid flow by adjusting its float.
The ball disc is the third most important pressure boundary inside a ball valve. The disc is made of steel, and in its closed position, the pressure within the media acts against it. Ball valves also have a seat, which can be mounted or suspended. The seat provides a place for the ball disc to rest. Often, a ball valve is made of forged steel and has a seat attached to it.
A ball valve can be used in industries where sanitation is very important. A ball valve that can withstand a high level of sanitization is especially valuable in the bioprocessing, food, and pharmaceutical industries. They can handle both liquids and solids. If the fluid contains solids or fibrous material, a ball valve can handle both.
