Light industrial two-way ball valves are commonly used in various industrial applications to control the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) through a pipeline. These valves are designed to provide reliable shut-off and flow control capabilities.
- Ball Valve Design: These valves have a spherical-shaped ball with a hole (bore) through it. When the valve is in the open position, the hole in the ball aligns with the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through. When the valve is closed, the ball is rotated to block the flow path.
- Two-Way Functionality: Light industrial two-way ball valves have two ports (an inlet and an outlet) and are used primarily for on-off and basic flow control applications. They can start or stop the flow of fluids through the pipeline.
- Materials: These valves are available in various materials to suit different applications. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, bronze, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The choice of material depends on factors like the type of fluid being handled and environmental conditions.
- Size and Pressure Ratings: Light industrial ball valves come in a range of sizes, typically from 1/4 inch to several inches in diameter. Pressure ratings can vary widely depending on the valve's design and materials, but they are generally suitable for lower to moderate pressure applications.
- Sealing Mechanisms: Ball valves can have different sealing mechanisms, including soft seats (usually made of elastomers like PTFE) or metal seats, depending on the application requirements.
- Applications: Light industrial two-way ball valves find use in a wide range of industries, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), water treatment, petrochemical, chemical processing, and general manufacturing. They are often used for processes where simple open/close control is sufficient.
- Advantages: Ball valves offer some advantages, such as low friction, minimal pressure drop when fully open, and good sealing properties. They are also relatively easy to maintain and durable.
