6.Manual On-off Ball Valve
The only distinction between the manual on-off ball valve, three-piece ball valve, and gate valve is that the closing component of the manual on-off ball valve is a sphere, and the sphere spins around the center line of the valve body to achieve opening and shutting. On-off ball valves are primarily employed to distribute, stop, and reverse the flow of a medium in a pipeline.
Three-piece ball valves are a brand-new kind of valve that has gained popularity recently in the pipeline, this kind of valve should typically be put horizontally. In the 1950s, a new type of valve called the manual on-off ball valve was introduced.
The ball valve has evolved into a significant valve type during the past 50 years. The ball valve may be used to regulate and control the flow of fluid in addition to being used to connect or disconnect the medium.
V-ball valves allow for relatively precise flow regulation and control, while three-way ball valves are used to distribute media and change the direction of flow of media. The manual ball valves are primarily named after the way in which the ball valve is actuated by the rotation of a handwheel or handle
Advantage
The manual ball valve gets its name mostly from the handwheel or handles that is used to turn the ball valve. Advantage A very new sort of ball valve is the manual on the off-ball valve. There is no friction on the switch, the seal doesn’t easily wear out, and there is a modest opening and closing torque, which are all benefits specific to its own structure.
As a result, the installed actuator is smaller. It can achieve the adjustment and stringent shut-off of the medium thanks to the multi-turn electric actuator it is equipped with.
It is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, urban water supply, drainage, and other working conditions that require strict cut-offs.
The manual ball valve is primarily utilized to distribute, stop, and reverse the flow of the medium in a pipeline. The on-off ball valve is a new type of valve that has been widely used in recent years. It has the following advantages:
- The fluid resistance is low, and its coefficient of resistance is the same as that of the identical-length pipe segment. 2. A straightforward design that is compact and lightweight. 3. It is secure and dependable. Currently, plastic, which has an excellent sealing performance and is extensively utilized in vacuum systems, is the material used for the ball valve’s sealing surface. 4. Simple to use, quick to open and close, and useful for long-distance control because it only requires a 90° rotation from completely open to fully closed.
- The ball valve is easy to maintain, has a basic structure, a usually moving sealing ring, and is easier to remove and replace.
- The sealing surfaces of the ball and the valve seat are separated from the medium whether the valve is fully open or fully closed, and the sealing surface of the valve will not erode when the medium passes through.
- It has a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from small to several millimeters, large to several meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.
7.High-Pressure On-off Ball Valve
