Understand the classification materials, and maintenance of ball valves

Structure:

The high-pressure ball valve has a 90 degree rotation action, and its plug body is a sphere with a circular through-hole or channel passing through its axis.
Features:

Compact structure, reliable sealing, and easy maintenance. The sealing surface and spherical surface are often in a closed state and are not easily eroded by the medium. Suitable for general working media such as water, solvents, acids, and natural gas, as well as media with harsh working conditions such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane, and ethylene.

Classification and Materials
Classification: High pressure ball valves can be classified into various types based on their structure, including floating ball valves, fixed ball valves, track ball valves, V-shaped ball valves, etc; According to the connection method, it can be divided into threaded ball valves, flange ball valves, and plate ball valves.

Material: High pressure ball valves come in a variety of materials, including metal valves (such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc.) and non-metal valves (such as ceramic, glass, plastic, etc.). In addition, there are metal valve body lined valves such as rubber lining, fluorine lining, etc.

Application and maintenance
Application: High pressure ball valves are widely used in industries such as hydraulic machinery, natural gas, petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemical, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, power, municipal, and steel.

Maintenance: High pressure ball valves require maintenance after a period of use. This includes stopping the machine to inspect the condition of valves and pipelines, cleaning the inner shell and surface of the ball valve, checking the integrity of the ball and sealing ring, as well as disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and replacing parts.
