Ball control valves are designed to regulate the flow of fluids through a pipeline using a spherical ball with a central hole. The valve consists of a body housing a ball that can rotate to control the flow. When the ball rotates, its central hole aligns with the pipeline, allowing or restricting fluid passage.
These valves are available in two main configurations: full port (full bore) and reduced port (reduced bore). Full port valves offer an unobstructed flow path, reducing pressure drops and turbulence, making them ideal for applications requiring minimal flow restriction. Reduced port valves, on the other hand, feature a smaller opening that can provide better throttling control and is often used where space is limited or cost considerations are paramount.
Ball control valves are highly valued for their reliability, ease of operation, and ability to provide precise flow control, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
