Strong Valves

  What are valves? Valves  are mechanical devices that control the flow and pressure within a system or process. They are essential components of a piping system that conveys liquids, gases, vapors, slurries, etc. Different types of valves are available: gate, globe, plug, ball, butterfly, check, diaphragm, pinch, pressure relief, control valves etc. Each of these types has a number of models, each with different features and functional capabilities. Some valves are self-operated while others are operated manually or with an actuator, pneumatically, or hydraulically. 5 Main Types of Ball Valves Ball Valves  A  ball valve  is a shut-off valve that controls the flow of a liquid or gas by means of a rotary ball having a bore. By rotating the ball a quarter turn (90 degrees) around its axis, the medium can flow through or be blocked. They are characterized by a long service life and provide a reliable seal over the life span, even when the valve is not in use for a ...

  What are Ball Valves? A  Ball valve  is a flow control device that regulates the flow of liquid through it using a hollow, perforated, and rotating ball. When the ball's hole is parallel to the flow intake, the valve is open. When the ball is turned 90 degrees by the valve handle, the valve is closed, obstructing the flow. It is simple to visually confirm the condition of the valve since the handle sits flat in line with the flow when it is open and perpendicular to it when it is closed. The 1/4 turn in the closed position can be made either clockwise or counterclockwise. 3 Main Types of Ball Valves Two Piece Ball Valves Two-piece valves  are the most often used type of ball valve. The body and a portion with a single-end connection make up the two-piece ball valve, as its name suggests. The second component, which integrates into the first and has the second-end connection, maintains the trim in place. Three Piece Ball Valves Three-piece ball valve  is compri...
