Every valve is used for a specific application such as a lift check valve ,soft seat check valve, gate check valve, OS&Y valve, globe , gate and various models of each. A ball valve generally has a higher WOG pressure rating and many use it as one valve fits the majority of applications One would dare not use a ball valve on a fire suppression system or a street main shut off . On high pressure applications a Ball valve being a quick closing valve can cause a lot of damage when it is closed to fast causing a hydraulic shock wave (water hammer)

If a pitcher throws the ball to the batter and he doesn't hit it?

If the batter attempts to hit the ball and misses, it is a strike. If the batter does not attempt to hit the ball and the ball enters the strike zone, it is a strike. If the batter does not attempt to hit the ball and the ball does not enter the strike zone, it is a ball (unless it hits the batter, then the batter is awarded 1st base).


Batter hits a pitch and the ball bounces and hits the batter is he out?

it depends on the situation. If the count is two strikes then it is an out because if the batter is insied the box then it is a fould ball and a two strike foul ball on a bunt attempt is an out. If there is one strike or zero strikes then the batter can be called out or a foul ball. If he is still in the batter's box and the ball touches him then it is a fould ball but if the batter is outside the batter's box and the ball touches him, then he is out.

What's the difference between floating ball valve and fixed ball valve?

The ball ceramic valve evolved from the plug valve, in which there is a plug initially. The ball valves also can be divided into floating ball valve and fixed ball valve. The differences between floating ball valve and fixed ball valve are as follows. For the fixed ball valve, the ball is fixed and will not move even under pressure. There are floating valve seat to press the sing real tightly on the ball when suffering the media's pressure. Besides, the axletree is equipped with the stem connecting with the ball. The floating ball valve contains the ball floating inside. The structure is simple and has good tightness. When the media goes through, the pressure is passed into the seal rings, therefore the material of the seat rings should be well considered in design.

Batter hits the ball with one foot out of the batters box?

If the batter makes contact with a batted ball while in the batter's box, it is a "dead" ball and declared foul. ---------- True enough, sort of. If a batted ball touches the batter while he is still in the batter's box, then it is foul. However, if the batter hits the ball, and it comes to rest in the batter's box or the batted ball is touched by a defensivce player while it is in the batter's box, and the ball did not touch the batter, it is either fair or foul, depending on the position of the ball at the time it came to rest or was touched by a defensive player. The front portion of the batter's box is in fair territory, and if a batted ball comes to rest or is touched by a defensive player in that part of the batter's box, then it's a fair ball.

Is there another name for a ball check valve?

No Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of application. And a ball check valve is one of types of check valves, it a check valve in which the closing member, the movable part to block the flow, is a spherical ball. Then a ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve which controls the flow through it. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. As you see, they are not the same.
