Detailed Introduction

Ball Valve for Reliable On/Off Flow Control

A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a rotating ball with a bore through its center to control fluid flow. When the valve is opened, the ball rotates 90 degrees to align the bore with the pipeline, allowing fluid to pass through. When closed, the solid side of the ball blocks the flow path to provide reliable shut-off.

Due to its simple structure, fast operation, low pressure loss, and excellent sealing performance, ball valves are widely used in industrial piping systems.

DTC supplies industrial ball valves in various designs, including floating ball valves and trunnion mounted ball valves, with options for flanged, threaded, and welded ends. Available materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel for different working conditions.


Key Features of Ball Valve

Fast Quarter-Turn Operation

Ball valves require only a 90° rotation to fully open or close, allowing quick operation and emergency shut-off.

Excellent Sealing Performance

The precision-machined ball and seat design provides reliable sealing with minimal leakage.

Low Pressure Drop

The full-port design allows smooth fluid flow with reduced turbulence and energy loss.

Wide Application Range

Suitable for liquids, gases, steam, and many industrial media.

Long Service Life

High-quality materials and robust construction ensure reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Types of Ball Valves

Floating Ball Valve

A floating ball valve uses a ball that is not fixed to the stem. The ball moves slightly toward the downstream seat under pressure, creating a tight seal.

Advantages:

  • Simple structure
  • Lower cost
  • Easy maintenance
  • Excellent for small and medium sizes

Typical Applications:

  • Water systems
  • HVAC
  • Chemical pipelines
  • General industrial applications

Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

A trunnion mounted ball valve uses additional supports to fix the ball, reducing operating torque.

Advantages:

  • Suitable for large diameter valves
  • Suitable for high pressure applications
  • Lower operating torque
  • Longer service life

Typical Applications:

  • Oil & gas pipelines
  • Petrochemical plants
  • Transmission pipelines

Common Materials
