Usually, ball valves are recommended for pipeline systems with dual adjustment, strict sealing performance, mud, wear, necking channels, rapid opening and closing action (1/4 turn opening and closing), high pressure cutoff (high pressure difference), low noise, air pockets and gasification phenomena, small leakage to the atmosphere, low operating torque, and low fluid resistance.
Ball valves are also suitable for pipeline systems with lightweight structures, low pressure cutoff (low pressure difference), and corrosive media.
Ball valves can also be used in low-temperature (cryogenic) devices and pipeline systems.
In the oxygen pipeline system of the metallurgical industry, ball valves that have undergone strict degreasing treatment are required.
When the main pipeline in oil and gas pipelines needs to be buried underground, full bore welded ball valves need to be used.
When regulating performance is required, a special structure ball valve with a V-shaped opening needs to be selected.
In petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, power, and urban construction, metal to metal sealed ball valves can be selected for pipeline systems with operating temperatures above 200 ℃.
