Trunnion ball valves in the pipeline is mainly used for cutting, distribution and change the flow direction of the medium. Ball is a new type of valve is widely used in recent years , it has the following advantages:
1 . Fluid resistance , its drag coefficient with the same pipe length equal.
2 . Simple structure, small size, light weight.
3 . Close and reliable valve sealing surface material widely used plastic , sealing, has also been widely used in the vacuum system .
4 . Easy to operate, opening and closing rapidly , from fully open to fully closed as long as the rotation of 90 °, to facilitate remote control .
5. Easy maintenance , simple ball valve, seals are generally activities , removal replacement is more convenient.
6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface and the dielectric isolation ball and seat , through the media , will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface.
7 . Wide range of applications , from small diameter to a few millimeters to a few meters from the high vacuum to high pressure can be applied . When the ball is rotated 90 degrees , in the import and export of office should be fully rendered sphere , thus cutting off the flow.
