Valves can come in many shapes and sizes and are used in most every industry in ever sector. A valve is a device that regulates the flow of liquids, gases and fluids through passages. Valves are commonly used in power generation, the petrochemical industry, paper and pulp, mining and minerals and refining.
Below are a few common types of valves and their uses -ball valve
A ball valve has a spherical disc within the component that controls the flow through the valve. In a ball valve, the inner disc, or ball, contains a hole. When the hole is lined up parallel with the valve ends, the ball valve is open and fluids can flow through the valve. When the hole is perpendicular to the valve ends, the ball valve is closed and the flow is stopped. ball valves are common to many heavy-duty projects because they are extremely durable. Ball valves are also known for their excellent sealing capabilities. Ball valves boast near-perfect shut-off which makes them perfect for applications that require the complete shut-off of flow through valves. Another great feature of the ball valve is that it is easily repaired.
