The main features of the ball valve include its compact structure, ease of operation and maintenance, suitability for general working media such as water, solvents, acids, and natural gas, and also for harsh working conditions such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane, and ethylene. The valve body can be either a single piece or a modular design.

Ball valve working principle and function:

The working principle of a ball valve is to open or close the valve by rotating the valve core. Ball valves are easy to operate, compact in size, can be made into large bore sizes, offer reliable sealing, have a simple structure, are easy to maintain, and the sealing surface and ball surface are often in a closed state, making them resistant to erosion by the medium. They are widely used in various industries.

Ball valves and plug valves belong to the same type, differing only in that their closure is spherical. The ball rotates around the valve body's centerline to achieve opening and closing. Ball valves are primarily used in pipelines for cutting off, distributing, and altering the flow direction of media.
