What Are The Functions Of Stainless Steel Ball Valves? What Are Their Uses?

2 Piece Threaded Ball Valve, you only need to rotate 90° to easily complete the opening and closing functions. It can be used to control the flow of various corrosive media such as water, steam, air, mud, oil, liquid metal, etc. The valve body of the ball valve can be integral or combined. The classification of stainless steel ball valves includes: stainless steel pneumatic ball valves, stainless steel electric ball valves, stainless steel manual ball valves, etc.; then what are the functions of stainless steel pneumatic ball valves?

The ball valve is equipped with a pneumatic actuator, and the actuator has a relatively fast execution speed, which saves human resources and the time of workers doing it themselves. It is called a stainless steel pneumatic ball valve. The working principle is to rotate the valve core to make the valve unblocked or blocked. It has been widely used in various departments such as petroleum, chemical industry, power generation, papermaking, atomic energy, aviation, rockets, etc. The diameter can be as small as a few millimeters and as large as several meters, so it can be used from high vacuum to high pressure. It is a valve of the same type as the plug valve, but its closing piece is a sphere, which rotates around the center line of the valve body to achieve opening and closing. It is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline.

Stainless steel pneumatic ball valve has the following advantages

1. Small fluid resistance, its resistance coefficient is equal to the pipe section of the same length.

2. Small size and light weight.

3. Good sealing performance, it has also been widely used in vacuum systems.

4. Easy to operate, quick opening and closing, only need to rotate 90 degrees from full open to full closed, which is convenient for long-distance control.

5. Pneumatic ball valve has a simple structure and convenient maintenance. The sealing ring is generally movable, and it is easy to disassemble and replace.

6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and the valve seat is isolated from the medium. 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.

Stainless steel ball valves are widely used in oil refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electricity, municipal administration, steel and other industries, and they play an important role in the national economy. They have the function of rotating 90 degrees, and the plug body is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. Stainless steel ball valves are mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. Stainless steel ball valves can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a very small torque. Ball valves are suitable for use as switches and cut-off valves.
