Ball Valve Manufacturers
Ball valve manufacturers produce valves that are controlled by the position of a free-floating ball that moves in response to fluid or mechanical pressure. A ball valve opens by turning a handle attached to a ball inside the valve. Ball valves provide tight shut-off and good control. They are also highly durable.
A wide range of ball valves can be provided by ball valve manufacturers. The three general types of ball valves are full port, standard port, and reduced port. Some of the most common variations of ball valves include 3-way ball valves and ball check valves. The body of the ball valve may be constructed of metal, ceramic, or plastic.
Advances in ball valve design and materials have significantly increased their popularity. Ball valves can be used for isolation of systems, regulation of some types of low flow and backflow prevention, but only with a swing check component. They can handle high pressure and a large volume of fluids, gases and suspended solids (slurries). New valve designs have enabled ball valves to be used in high-vacuum situations.
