ValvesOnly Europe is the best Forged Steel Ball Valve Supplier in Europe. It is a type of Valve, made using the process of compressing and shaping heated metals into the desired shape. The technique used is the Forging Technique. This process increases the strength and durability of the valve and makes it suitable for harsh environments. They are designed for operating in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. These valves are widely used in industries like oil and gas industries, power generation plants, chemical processing facilities, etc, due to its ability to handle extreme conditions and capability to withstand corrosion. The ball inside the valve controls and regulates the flow of fluids, whenever the valve is in open position, and restricts the flow when it is in the closed position.
Key Features
· Material: Since it is made from high-quality forged steel, that provides excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and high -temperature tolerances. These mechanical properties make it ideal for several industrial applications.
· Design: It often comes in a three-piece or two piece design, that includes a central body and end caps. This makes it easier to maintain the valve, service it without removing them from the system.
· Performance: It is more durable and provides High performance, in addition, it can operate in high-pressure and temperature environments. It is commonly used in applications like chemical processing, Oil and gas industries, Power generation plants, etc.
Working principle
It works using the spherical ball attached to the system’s hole at the centre. It rotates within the valve body and controls the flow.
1. Open position: when the valve opens, the hole will be aligned with the flow path. It allows the passage of flow.
2. Closed position: when the valve is closed, the ball will be rotated 90 degrees and the hole comes perpendicular to the flow path and blocks the passage
3. Sealing: when the ball is pressed against the valve seats, it ensures a proper seal and prevents leaks.
4. Operation: the ball can be rotated using an actuator or handle. In manual valves, a lever is used to rotate the ball.
Advantages
· Forged steel Ball valves are highly durable and reliable
