Insulated Ball Valve Is Also Called Jacketed Ball Valve

2 Piece Ball Valve is also called a jacketed ball valve. The purpose of using a jacket on the outside is to keep warm. In addition to the normal production process, a metal jacket is welded on the basis of the ball valve to inject steam or other heat-insulating and cold-insulating media to ensure that the medium in the valve can work normally. Because the heat-insulating ball valve has good heat-insulating and cold-insulating characteristics, and because the valve diameter is consistent with the pipe diameter, it can also effectively reduce the heat loss of the medium in the pipeline.

According to the different structures of the ball valve, the heat-insulating ball valve can be mainly divided into several structural forms such as integral (also called one-piece) heat-insulating ball valve, two-piece heat-insulating ball valve, and wafer-type heat-insulating ball valve. There will also be differences in the structural form. The split heat-insulating ball valve, also called the semi-jacketed ball valve, is characterized by not having to increase the flange and saving costs, but part of the valve body will not be in the heat-insulating jacket. The one-piece heat-insulating ball valve protects the entire ball valve in the jacket, which results in a large flange, usually two specifications larger than the valve. At the same time, it also increases part of the production cost. Currently, it is used in various systems in the market such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, and food, and can transport high-viscosity media that will solidify at room temperature.
