Characteristics and Advantages of Stainless Ball Valves

In recent years, stainless ball valves have been widely used as a new type of valve. In stainless steel pipelines, their main function is to cut off, distribute, and change the direction of the medium flow. So, what are the advantages of stainless ball valves?

Understanding stainless ball valves

The opening and closing part (sphere) of the stainless steel flange ball valve is driven by the valve stem to rotate around the ball valve axis. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control. The hard-sealed V-shaped ball valve has a strong shear force between the V-shaped ball core and the hard alloy surfacing metal valve seat. The flanged stainless steel ball valve is particularly suitable for media containing fibers and small solid particles. Read further: ss ball valve flange type.

What are the characteristics of stainless ball valves?

Stainless ball valves have good abrasion resistance

Since the valve core of the hard-sealed ball valve is sprayed with alloy steel and the sealing ring is coated with alloy steel, the hard-sealed ball valve will not cause too much wear during opening and closing.

Stainless ball valves have good sealing performance

Since the valve sealing of the hard-sealed ball valve is manually ground, it can only be used after the valve core and the sealing ring are fully matched. Therefore, its sealing performance is reliable.

The switch is light

Since the bottom of the sealing ring of the hard-sealed ball valve is tightly held together by a spring, the switch is very light when external force exceeds the pre-tension of the spring.

Stainless ball valves have a long service life 

Stainless ball valves have been widely used in petroleum, chemical, power generation, papermaking, atomic energy, aerospace, and daily life.

What are the advantages of stainless ball valves?

• The liquid resistance of stainless ball valves is small, and their resistance coefficient is equal to that of the same length of pipe section.

• Stainless ball valves have a simple structure, small size, and light weight.

• Stainless ball valves are tight and reliable. The sealing surface material of the ball valve is widely used plastic with good sealing performance and has been widely used in vacuum systems.

•  Stainless ball valves are easy to operate, and the switch is quick. It only needs to rotate 90° from fully open to fully closed, which is conducive to remote control.

•  Stainless ball valves are easy to maintain, and the ball valve structure is simple. The sealing ring is generally movable, and it is easy to disassemble and replace.

•  In the fully open or fully closed state, the sealing surface of the ball body and the valve seat is isolated from the medium passing through, and it will not cause erosion of the valve seat sealing surface when the medium passes through.

•  Stainless ball valves have a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.
