Classification And Use Of American Standard Ball Valves

3 Piece Ball Valve is very common in today's life. It is a new type of valve. It is not only spherical but also has a normal shape. It can be used in every place where it is needed. Moreover, the characteristics of this valve are simple and easy to operate, and its size and weight are relatively small and light. Because this valve has good sealing performance, it is also widely used in some vacuum environments. So, what are the classifications of American standard ball valves? Here are several types for you.

1. Elastic ball valve

This sphere is elastic, but the sealing pressure is large. If it only relies on the pressure of the medium itself, it cannot meet the sealing requirements. It must be pressed by external force. Therefore, this elastic ball valve is more suitable for high-pressure environments.

2. Floating ball valve

As the name suggests, the floating ball valve can float and can be displaced according to the pressure of the medium itself, so that it can be tightly pressed at the outlet to ensure the sealing of the outlet. The structure of this ball valve is relatively simple, and the sealing performance is also relatively better. We can use it in medium and low pressure environments.

3. Fixed ball valve

Since there are elastic and floating ball valves, the most commonly used one among the American standard ball valves is the fixed ball valve. Obviously, this kind of ball valve will not move after being subjected to pressure. This kind of ball valve is widely used in high pressure and large diameter environments.

In short, there are many types of American standard ball valves. If there is a need, you can choose the appropriate one according to your actual situation, so as to use it better.
