Results for tag: "Ball Valve"

A ball valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids and gases. It is composed of a spherical body with a hole in the middle, and a valve handle that is used to open and close the valve. The ball valve is opened by turning the handle so that the hole in the ball is in line with the flow of the liquid or gas. When the handle is turned to the closed position, the hole in the ball is perpendicular to the flow, thus blocking the flow. Ball valves are used in a variety of applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential. Ball valves are known for their durability and reliability, and are often used in applications where a tight seal is required. They are also easy to operate and maintain, and are available in a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, and plastic. Some of the companies in the ball valve market include Flowserve, Crane, Emerson, and Pentair. Show Less Read more
