FAQ
Ball Valve Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ball valve? +
A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a rotating ball with a bore to start or stop fluid flow through a pipeline.
What are ball valves commonly used for? +
Ball valves are commonly used for fast isolation and shut-off applications across a variety of industrial piping systems.
What is a floating ball valve? +
A floating ball valve uses a ball that is not rigidly fixed and relies on line pressure to assist sealing against the downstream seat.
What is a trunnion mounted ball valve? +
A trunnion mounted ball valve supports the ball using a trunnion arrangement, making the design suitable for specific demanding applications.
How do I select the right ball valve? +
Selection should consider factors such as pressure, temperature, media, size, materials, end connections and the intended service.
