What Is a Ball Valve and Its Development

2026-01-15

A ball valve is a type of valve that uses a spherical disc with a circular through-hole as its closure member. The sphere rotates along with the valve stem to achieve opening and closing actions.The main Ball valve product names of China Ball valve Network include:

The closure component of a ball valve is a perforated sphere, which rotates around an axis perpendicular to the flow passage, thereby opening or closing the passage. Ball valves are primarily used to turn on/off the flow of media between pipelines and equipment. In special cases, specially designed ball valves are also often used as control valves for flow regulation.Ball Valve Suppliers

Ball valves first emerged in the 1950s. Their closure element is a sphere that rotates 90 degrees around the axis of the valve stem to realize opening and closing. Ball valves are mainly applied in pipelines to cut off the medium flow and change its direction. They are particularly widely used in industrialized countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. About Ball Valve The variety and quantity of ball valves in use are still on the rise, and the technology is evolving toward higher temperature and pressure resistance, larger diameters, superior sealing performance, longer service life, excellent regulating capabilities, and multi-functionality in a single valve. Their reliability and other performance indicators have reached a high level, and they have partially replaced gate valves, globe valves, and throttle valves.

With the advancement of ball valve technology, these valves are now widely used in industries including petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemical engineering, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal engineering, and steel manufacturing, playing an indispensable role in the national economy.
