Process Ball Valves

Process ball valves are critical components in industrial systems, providing reliable control over fluid flow in a wide range of applications. These valves use a spherical disc—the ball—with a hole in the centre that opens and closes to regulate flow. When aligned with the flow direction, the valve allows fluid to pass through; when rotated by 90 degrees, it blocks the flow completely. Known for their excellent sealing capabilities, durability, and ease of operation, process ball valves are widely used across various sectors. 

How Do Process Ball Valves Operate?

• The ball inside the valve rotates to open or close the flow path.
• Operated manually or automatically using actuators.
• Provides a quick shut-off with a 90-degree turn of the handle.

Building Materials 

• Stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
• Brass and bronze for cost-effective solutions.
• PVC and other plastics for lightweight and non-corrosive applications.
