Advantages and disadvantages of ball valve

Ball valves play a vital role in everyday life as they are used every day like in bicycles or cars, jet planes or any industry. Valves come in different sizes and shapes, and each valve has a different size, function, and application.

The industry has made heavy use of ball valves, and to ensure that these valves remain functional during operation, it is safe to maintain them before they corrode. Regular cleaning and lubrication to ensure smooth functioning is key to its longevity.
These valves are available in five general-purpose bodies, including three-piece bodies, two-piece bodies, single-body top-entry, split-body, and welded valves. The following qualities make them an excellent choice for controlling a variety of applications, and sometimes they outperform any other valve with less control in throttling applications.

Advantages of ball valves

They offer leak proofing services,
quick opening and closing,
Compared to gate valves, they are very small in size,
Compared to gate valves, they are lighter,
Gate or globe valves do not have the flexibility of multiple designs, so it reduces the number of valves required,
Manufactured in different sizes and shapes, these valves provide flexibility of choice,
High quality valves provide safe service under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and
They have less control than other valves.
The main disadvantages of these valves are as follows:

Rotate the position of the valve handle,
cannot be used for throttling, and
These valves with actuation mechanisms should be installed upright.
