Frequently asked questions:

What is a ball valve used for?
A ball valve is a shut-off valve that controls, allows, and obstructs the flow of vapours, liquids, and gases in a piping system. This is achieved by rotating the ball and having a bore inside the valve.
What are the four types of ball valves?
The four types of ball valves are:
  • Full port ball valve: This type of ball valve is idea for applications where the required flow rate is high. The valve has a bore that is the same size as the pipeline to allow mininal restrictions to the flow of fluid.
  • Reduced port ball valve: This valve is best utilised in applications where flow control is crucial. The ball valve has a bore smaller than the pipeline.
  • V-port ball valve: The ball valve’s v-shaped ball allows a more precise flow control. It is best applied where the flow needs to be accurate.
  • Multiport ball valve: This type of ball valve can be configured to allow the ncessary flow pattern. It has multiple ports and is applied where numerous streams or fluid need to be directed.
What are the advantages of ball valves?
The advantages of ball valves include:
  1. High efficiency
    Ball valves are regarded as high recovery valves due to their low-pressure and high flow capacity because of the size of the opening in the ball. The design of these valves results in there being little turbulence or resistence to fluid flow when the valve is opened.
  2. Convienience
    Due to the ball valve’s 90 degree operation and small sizes, ball valves are efficient and easy to use.
  3. Robust
    Ball valves can withstand high temperatures,which results in them being durable and suitable for applications in many industries.
  4. Economical solution
    Ball valves require low maintenance meaning their incorporation into a plant is cost-effective.
