Stainless steel ball valves can be tightly closed with only a 90 degree rotation and a small rotational torque. The completely equal valve body cavity provides a low resistance, straight through flow channel for the medium. The main characteristics of a ball valve are its compact structure, easy operation and maintenance. Stainless steel ball valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media. The valve body of a ball valve can be integral or modular. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in pipelines.

The working principle of a ball valve is to rotate the valve core to make the valve unobstructed or blocked. Ball valve switches are lightweight, small in size, can be made into large diameters, reliable in sealing, simple in structure, easy to maintain, and the sealing surface and spherical surface are often in a closed state, which is not easily eroded by media. They are widely used in various industries.

Ball valves and plug valves belong to the same type of valve, except that their closing element is a sphere that rotates around the centerline of the valve body to achieve opening and closing.

Ball valves are mainly used in pipelines to cut off, distribute, and change the flow direction of media. Ball valve is a widely used new type of valve.
