Ball Valve

Introduction to Ball Valve A ball valve is a widely used type of valve that provides efficient flow control and shut-off capabilities in various industries. It features a spherical ball with a bore through its center, which allows for the control of fluid flow by rotating the ball within the valve body. Key Features: Spherical Ball: The ball valve gets its name from the spherical-shaped ball inside the valve body. The ball has a hole (bore) through its center that aligns with the flow path when the valve is open, allowing fluid to pass through. Quarter-Turn Operation: Ball valves are operated by a quarter-turn mechanism, typically a lever or handle. When the lever is turned 90 degrees, the ball rotates to either fully open or fully close the flow path
