Ball Valve
A ball valve, also known as ball plug valve, is a rotary action valve that is quarter turn. It has seats and spherical closure. It is important to have some critical details about these types of valves before using or acquiring them. During shut off applications, you may be required to use a ball valve. Before you can settle on a certain type, consider a number of factors. This guide will help you select a ball valve that is durable and reliable. Consider the pressure handled by the valve before settling on the right valve size. Different valves are designed for different types of fluids. It is thus wise considering the fluid being handled by the valve. The amount of fluid flowing through the valve also determines the size of ball used. Consider the temperature of the fluid flowing through the valve as well. Before selecting a ball valve, you should consider the installation cost required as well as material and size composition of the valve.
