Sanitary ball valves are also called as hygienic ball valve which is opened by turning handles attached to balls inside the valves. The ball has a hole or port through the middle. When the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. A ball valve is durable and usually work to achieve perfect shutoff even after years of disuse. Working Principle of Sanitary Ball Valve The Ball valve uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control flow through it. The ball valve drives the valve handle to…

Similarities and Differences Between Metal Sealing Valve and Sanitary Ball Valve
The movement path of the metal sealing valve has the characteristics of both gate valve (multi-turn) and sanitary ball valve (90-degree turn), so its performance has the advantages of both gate valve and ball valve. The structures of the metal sealing valves and sanitary ball valves have similarities and differences, as is discussed below. Similarities: 1. Both of the metal sealing valve and sanitary ball valve can achieve metal sealing and endure high temperature. 2. They share the same way of operation. They can be operated by hand wheel or bevel gear box. 3. They share the same way of valve stem action. Lift first to make the valve flap…

Difference in Application Between Sanitary Ball Valves and Sanitary Plug Valves
The sanitary ball valve was introduced in the 1950s and has rapidly developed into a major valve category. In industrially developed countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. It is widely used in the chemical, paper, pharmaceutical, water conservancy, electric power, municipal, steel and other industries. The cock of the ball valve is a sphere that can be rotated 90 degrees. It has a circular through-hole or passage through its axis. The ball valve is mainly used in the pipeline to cut, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. The ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch or shut-off valve. When…

Several Common Valve Applications
Valves can be said to be everywhere in life, no matter the family or the factory, any building can not do without valves. This article will introduce you to several common valve application areas: Field Application Types of Valves Oil plant Oil refining device Most of them are pipeline valves, mainly gate valves, globe valves, check valves, safety valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, steam traps, among which, gate valve demand accounts for about 80% of the total number of valves. Chemical fiber device Chemical fiber products mainly include polyester, acrylic and vinylon. Ball valve and jacketed valve (jacketed ball valve, jacketed gate valve, jacketed shut-off valve) are used. Acrylonitrile device…

Comparison between floating ball valve and Trunnion ball valve
What is a ball valve? A ball valve is a one-way valve that is opened and closed by pressure on a ball which fits into a cup-shaped opening. Generally, a ball valve has two entries, but there is also 3-way ball valve, as shown below. A 3-way ball valve has three entries. It may have an L or a T design as shown in the picture below. Depending on your own requirement, you can arrange the entries of the 3-way ball valve in the following three-way. 1. One inlet and two distribute 2. One inlet and one outlet with diverting a flow 3. Straight pass the fluid without No inlet…
