How to choose a right Ball valve for your applications and industries ? A Comprehensive guide on Ball Valves :
As we all know that the expansion in certain sectors is
really boosting the demands of its relevant products and its materials. And
Industrial valves is not behind in this. But you ask me the question how
Industrial valves revolutionizing the process in this sector? To get this
answer we need to understand certain Valves and its basic uses in particular
applications. but at these levels lets discuss on Ball Valves and its types.
Every application has its certain demands and
characteristics like which ball valves have compatibility with fluids like
Water, Oil & Gas, Chemicals etc. In Certain industries ball valves requires
the criteria of pressure and temperatures and on basis of this one can decides
the materials of constructions for ball valves. Some commonly used materials
are SS304, SS316, duplex Steel, WCB, CI, CS grade A105 Etc.. Now we are coming
to the most important part which is Ball valves design. Ball Valves having
different criteria of design like Trunnion-Mounted Ball Valves against the
Floating Ball Valves. Some applications demand the updown the pressure so here
reduced port and full port Ball valves can be placed. Connection in both side like Threded, Socket
Weld, or Flanged end is also part of application demand in ball valves
selections. Hence, for smooth operation and better efficiency expert needs to
understand the types of Ball Valves and its components.
