Types of Ball Valves

A ball valve is a device with a spherical closure unit that provides on/off control of flow. The sphere has a port through the center. When the valve is positioned such that the port is aligned in the same direction as the pipeline, it is in open position and fluid can flow through it. When rotated 90 degrees, the port becomes perpendicular to the flow path, meaning the valve is closed and the fluid...

A Brief Introduction of Butterfly Valve

A butterfly valve is regulating valve with simple structure that can be used for low pressure pipeline medium on-off control. A butterfly valve is a kind of valve whose closing part is a disc, which rotates around the valve shaft to open and close. Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, therefore a pressure drop is always induced in the flow, regardless of valve position. The...
