Working Principle
• Open Position: When the handle is rotated to the open position, the stem drives the ball to rotate such that the through - hole in the ball aligns with the pipeline axis. This alignment allows fluid to flow through the valve with minimal resistance.
• Closed Position: As the handle is turned to the closed position, the ball rotates by 90 degrees. The through - hole then becomes perpendicular to the pipeline axis, effectively blocking the flow path and preventing fluid from passing through.
Advantages
Corrosion Resistance: The stainless - steel material offers excellent resistance to corrosion from various chemicals, moisture, and other corrosive agents. This extends the valve's lifespan and reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it a cost - effective choice in the long run.
High Sealing Performance: The precise fit between the ball and the seats ensures a high - quality seal. Even under high - pressure conditions, the valve can prevent fluid leakage effectively, safeguarding the integrity of the fluid system.
Low Flow Resistance: The smooth, spherical interior of the valve and the unobstructed flow path when open result in low flow resistance. This means that less energy is required to move the fluid through the valve, contributing to overall system efficiency.
Versatility: It can handle a variety of fluids, including water, oil, gas, and many chemical substances. Its adaptability makes it suitable for diverse industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, and water treatment.
