The usage of industrial valves in numerous commercial construction projects, automation projects, and other applications is expected to increase demand for them. Due to technological advancements, increased industrialization and the expansion of existing facilities have stoked demand and accelerated industry growth.

Ball valves carry out a variety of tasks using diverse operating principles. Ball valves are the most reliable and common type of valve used to regulate the flow of water, oil & gas. The flow of substances from one opening to the next is controlled by ball valves, as the name implies, by using a ball as the valve's main component. These valves control the flow of liquid, gas, or water by permitting the hole to be completely closed, partially open, or open. They are built with unique features that only allow the 90-degree rotation needed to open and close ball valves. 

In the open position, the hole in the sphere is in line with the pipe, allowing the water, oil & gas to flow through it. The water flow is entirely stopped when the sphere's hole is perpendicular to the pipe and in its closed state. A rotating sphere with a hole and an attached lever handle are used to open the valve.

Whether the valve is open or closed is also indicated by the lever handle. The valve is closed when the lever is perpendicular to the pipe. In recent years, there is a huge demand for two-way valves as they are used extensively in the automation, oil & gas industries. Since they can provide greater sealing, hence it is the best option for use with gases.

Because they can withstand pressures of up to 700 bars and temperatures of up to 200 °C, and because their sizes typically range from 0.5 cm to 30 cm, they are particularly adaptable. They have a straightforward structure, making them simple to use and maintain. Since they provide dependable and airtight sealing while in the closed position, hence these valves are a well-known in commercial & industrial application.

Advantages

They are compact and low-maintenance, lubrication-free designs.

Compared to other valves, they are the most affordable.

The major benefit of ball valves is that they have good throttling characteristics,

They provide leak-proof service.

They open and close quickly.

Ball valves have multi-way design flexibility.

Applications:

Ball valves are useful to regulate flow and pressure, shut off corrosive fluids, slurries, common liquids, and gases. They are used in a variety of manufacturing businesses, chemical storage facilities, residential applications, in addition to the oil and gas industry.
