Product type
Ball valves are a type of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control the flow of fluid through a pipe. They are typically made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application and the type of fluid being handled. The design allows for a tight seal and minimal flow resistance when the valve is fully open.
| Material | Brass, stainless steel, or plastic |
| Size range | 1/4 inch to 12 inches |
| Pressure rating | Up to 6000 psi |
| Temperature range | -20┬░F to 450┬░F |
| Connection types | Threaded, flanged, or welded |
When choosing a ball valve, consider the material compatibility with the fluid being transported, as well as the required pressure and temperature ratings. Specify the size and connection type needed for your system. It is also important to check for any relevant certifications or standards that may apply to your industry, such as ANSI or API standards, and to determine the quantity required for your project.
