What is a Ball Valve?
The ball valve is a quarter-turn on/off the device. The flow of liquid or gas media is control by a pivoting ball in the center of the valve.
A pivoting ball is also call a rotary ball, and it has a hole in the center (a bore). The stem on top of the ball rotates the ball to open or close the valve. Manual levers or automation can use to turn the stem.
Steel, iron, brass, bronze, and PVC are the most commonly use materials for ball valves.
How Does a Ball Valve Work?
A ball valve can have more than one port, which is the opening in the valve. A two-way ball valve has two ports and is use for traditional on/off control. Multi-port valves (3-way, 4-way, etc.) are used in applications that require more than one source of media or that require diverting media in different directions.
Manually or through actuation, a ball valve’s port can be opened or closed to control media. Controlling the valve manually requires handles or levers and an operator. Electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuation do not require an operator. The use of actuators is ideal for complex control systems or those that are located in remote regions where an operator cannot easily access them.

Benefits of Ball Valves
In comparison to other types of valves, ball valves have several noteworthy advantages:
- Compact, economical designs
- Fast shut-off speeds
- High-pressure, high-volume, and high-temperature applications are no problem
- as they are less prone to corrosion and damage
- Long service life
- Suitable for a variety of industrial applications
What Are the Features and Benefits of Jacketed Ball Valves?
Valve is generally use for a wide range of purposes. From the monitoring and control of the flow of factors for machine operation to a variety of other performance monitoring and flow functions, valves are almost everywhere.
Jacketed Ball Valve
Jacketed ball valves contain a covering around their bodies, also known as a jacket. This is why these valves are call Jacketed Valve. These valves can fabricate or weld right from the outside of the body. Jacketed valves are manufacturer in a wide variety across the industry. Its use depends on the level of the flow medium, the pressure involved, the temperature it undergoes, and the performance and operation level of the industry involved.
It is well known that jacketed valves are designed specifically for media fluids that can crystallize or seize. During the additional heating and cooling procedures. Such valves should not affect.

Features and Benefits
Jacketed valves are usually available as 2-way or 3-way forms with flanged ends. Upon request, we can also supply valves with screwed or welded ends.
Even the most vicious materials that solidify at ambient temperatures can handle by jacketed ball valves.
Benefits
Some of its benefits include:
- Fire-safe design
- Full bore design
- Highly adjustable
- Extended stem controls
- Antistatic- Design
- Secure in operation
- Test implemented body design
- Availability of the cavity filler
- as a fabricate jacket that is weld to the valve’s body
- Double sealing for better performance
- Usually comes with a maintenance-free stem seal
- with an additional O-ring for improved flexibility and adherence
- Customers’ requirements can accommodate
- Aligned with metal to the metal-based sealing system for handling high pressure and temperature conditions, as well as abrasive conditions
- The ball valve design can customize to fit special vessel flanges
- It is possible to prepare piping according to a customized request
- Scraper chamfers are use to cut viscous products
- A reliable seal during shut-off
- Provides reliable sealing toward the outside
- Tested and approved as fire-safe
Jacketed ball valve come in a variety of forms that have been tested and used for various applications. These valves are ideal for control processes because even if a fire breaks out. They do not allow failure to spread.
