What Is the Function of a Ball Valve?

As an efficient and multifunctional fluid control device, the core function of the ball valve is to comprehensively manage the flow of fluid media. The following is a detailed description of several core functions of the ball valve:

Fluid flow control: With its unique ball design, the ball valve can achieve precise control of fluid flow. When the ball is fully aligned with the valve body channel, the fluid can pass unimpeded; when the ball is rotated to 90 degrees, the flow of the fluid can be completely blocked, achieving effective flow cutoff.

Pressure regulation function: By cleverly rotating the ball, the ball valve can flexibly adjust the pressure level of the fluid medium in the system. By changing the position of the ball, the flow path of the fluid and the resistance it encounters can be changed accordingly, thereby achieving precise control of the system pressure.

Flow control ability: The ball valve also has excellent flow control ability. By simply adjusting the position of the ball valve, we can easily change the flow direction of the fluid, allowing it to switch freely between different pipelines or systems, or guide it to specific equipment.

Fluid isolation and cut-off: Thanks to its excellent sealing performance, the ball valve can reliably isolate and cut off the fluid medium, effectively preventing leakage and mixing between different media. This feature is particularly important at critical moments such as system maintenance, repair or emergency shutdown.

Quick response operation: Ball valves are known for their simple and quick operation. Just rotate the ball to quickly control the fluid, which is very suitable for applications that require quick response and operation.
