Ball Valves Manufacturers

In ball valves, the flow control element is a ball with a round hole through it. The ball rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the hole and to the fluid path. The ball is always in the fluid path. However, when the valve is open, the hole aligns with the fluid path and the fluid passes straight through it. Because the ball valve is symmetrical, either end can be the fluid inlet, and thus the flow can be from either direction. The form of control for which ball valves are suited is starting and stopping flow; however, they also can be used for changing the flow direction.
