Application fields and advantages of ball valves

Ball valves are widely employed in contemporary industrial pipeline systems due to their wide range of applications, superior sealing performance, and ease of operation. Ball valves are used in practically every industry, including the food, pharmaceutical, water supply, drainage, oil and gas, and chemical sectors. What situations thus call for the employment of ball valves? Why has it gained the trust of numerous sectors as a fluid control device? You will learn more from this article.

1. What is a ball valve? Its unique structure determines its application advantages

A sphere having a hole that can be turned to open or close is the fundamental part of a ball valve.  Ball valves outperform conventional valves like gate and stop valves in terms of opening speed, sealing strength, pressure loss, and suitability for frequent use.  Additionally, its full-bore design may guarantee pipeline efficiency and successfully lower fluid resistance.

2. Typical application scenarios of ball valves

1. Oil and gas industry

Ball valves play a key role in oil and gas pipeline systems, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Its excellent sealing performance and corrosion resistance ensure the safety and stability of the conveying process.

2. Chemical and pharmaceutical fields

When conveying acids, alkalis, solvents or other highly corrosive media, ball valves can be made of special materials (such as stainless steel, PTFE seals) to effectively extend the service life and prevent leakage and pollution.

3. Water treatment and water supply and drainage systems

In urban water supply, sewage treatment plants and other facilities, ball valves are widely installed in various pipelines, pool inlets and outlets and key control nodes due to their compact structure, easy operation and maintenance.

4. Food and medical industries

These industries have extremely high requirements for hygiene. The inner wall of the ball valve is smooth, impurities are not easily left, and it can be quickly disassembled and cleaned, making it an ideal choice for fluid sanitary applications.

5. Industrial automation control system

With electric or pneumatic actuators, ball valves can be remotely controlled and automatically operated. They are commonly used in smart factories, building automation and other systems to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs.
