Ball valve is a form of pipeline valve locking or control element which has a spherical shape. This is without doubt one of the most modern and advanced forms of valves, finding increasing application for different operating conditions in pipelines transporting natural gas and oil, systems of urban gas supply, and different areas. You can also use it as a regulating valve.

The design of ball valves just isn’t new and has been known for over 100 years, but in earlier versions, it didn’t provide a solid floor passage of the medium due to the difficulty of ensuring it with metal surfaces, ball caps and seat shell. The emergence and implementation of armature materials corresponding to Teflon, synthetic rubber for the manufacture of saddles has led to the beginning of widespread use of ball valves. New materials enabled the closure density, and significantly reduce the effort required to control the crane.

Mobile element (gate) of such cranes is a spherical cap – the ball along the axis of which is a through round hole for the passage of the medium. In the walk-through valves, fully close or open the passage just turn the ball through 90 . The diameter of the hole usually corresponds to the inner diameter of the pipeline, which is installed on crane, known as in this case, full bore. Hydraulic losses when passing the working environment through the fully open valve is very small, almost such as when passing the medium through the tube, equal to the length of the valve body, that in times less than in other sorts of valves. This is a valuable quality made ball valves, main shut-off device on the linear a part of the main gas pipelines. However to scale back the size and torque required for operation of valves, sometimes used narrowed valves.

Saddles in the case made in the form of rings of several types of plastics (mainly PTFE), which provides a leak-tight integrity, lightness and smoothness of rotation of ball caps, but limit using such valves for fluids with temperatures up to 200 C.

Ball valves are controlled manually (for small diameters) or by utilizing a mechanized drive – electric, pneumatic and hydraulic, and for the cranes to pipelines is possible to use the medium as a control actuator working environment, transported by pipeline. Ball valves can be mounted in the following ways; Underground installation and Aboveground installation.

Load is removed from the pipeline supports or special compensators. Whenever you install an underground directly under the faucet laid concrete pad, relieving pressure from the pipeline as well as from soil subsidence. Whenever you install an underground ball valve is installed under the rug.
