A ball valve is a shut-off valve that allows, obstructs, and controls the flow of liquids, gases, and vapors in a piping system by rotating the ball having a bore inside the valve. The ball is mounted against two seats and has a shaft that connects it to the operating and control mechanism that rotates the ball.
What Are Ball Valves Used For?
A ball valve is a valve with a ball inside that controls the flow of water through it.
The ball has a hole in the middle that allows water to flow through when it is open, and blocks the flow when it is closed.
Ball valves are used in a variety of applications, including:
– To control the flow of water in a pipeline – To isolate a section of a pipeline for maintenance
– To regulate the flow of water in a pipeline
– To control the flow of other fluids, such as oil or gas
