What Are The Advantages Of Three-piece Ball Valves

The three-piece ball valve and gate valve are valves of the same type. The difference is that its closing piece is a sphere, which rotates around the center line of the valve body to achieve opening and closing. So do you know what are the advantages of the three-piece ball valve?

Advantages of 3 Way Ball Valve:
1. Small fluid resistance, its resistance coefficient is equal to that of a pipe section of the same length.
2. Simple structure, small size and light weight.
3. Tight and reliable, the sealing surface material of the ball valve is widely made of plastic, with good sealing performance, and has been widely used in vacuum systems.
4. Easy to operate, open and close quickly, just rotate 90° from full open to full closed, which is convenient for long-distance control.
5. Easy to maintain, the ball valve has a simple structure, and the sealing ring is generally movable, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.
6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and the valve seat is isolated from the medium, and when the medium passes, it will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface.
7. Wide range of applications, diameters range from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be used from high vacuum to high pressure. Flanged ball valve, flanged gate valve, knife gate valve.
Three-piece ball valve
The three-piece ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a very small torque. The equal inner cavity of the valve body provides a very small resistance and straight flow channel for the medium.
