2 Piece Threaded Top Flanged Ball Valve

GENERAL FEATURES

The 2-Piece Threaded Top Flanged Ball Valve is a quarter turn rotary valve that uses a spherical shaped disc to stop or start flow. It is defined as a mechanical device that directs and modulates the flow of various types of liquids through the opening of a sphere with an opening in the middle of the valve. By turning the handle on the ball valve, it manually opens/closes the port that controls the pressure from the flow of fluid. Durability and excellent shut-off are features that make the ball valve advantageous over other valve types. More complex control systems that use valves that need to regulate flow through a pipe will need an actuator. The actuator controls the valve pneumatically or electrically and ensures that the fluid flow is properly positioned to be sensitive to varying pressures and flow levels. Features to consider to determine the appropriate ball valve will be temperature and pressure, number of ports, valve size, body material type, end connections and configurations.

Advantages and Disadvantages of ball valves

ADVANTAGES:

Fast on-off operation

Low torque tight sealing

Smaller in size than most other valves

DISADVANTAGES:

Conventional Ball valves weak throttling

has features.

Suspended particles in slurry or other applications

can settle, get stuck in the body cavities and wear,

may cause leakage or valve failure.
