Everything there is to know about Stainless Steel Ball Valve
There is a wide selection of valves in the market and one type of valve is called ball valve. A valve is a device that controls, shut off and manages the flow inside a pipeline by obstructing its flow direction. A valve can completely or partially cut off the flow inside the pipeline depending on the situation. A ball valve is a shut off valve that controls the flow of a liquid or gas which utilizes a hollow pivoting ball inside the valve. The flow of water or gas is open when the ball’s hole is in line with the flow inlet and when it is not in line, it is closed whether partially or completely.
Ball valves are a great choice for valves as they have a long service lifespan and even when the valve is not being used in a long time, they still provide a reliable sealing over their lifespan. They are also more resistant against contaminated media than most other types of valves. In some special versions of ball valves, they are also being used as a control valve although it is not common as ball valves lack the accuracy of controlling the flow rate compared to other control valves. At the same time, ball valves provide other advantages that other valves cannot provide. For instance, ball valves ensure remarkable sealing, even in the case of dirty media. There are 3 main categories of ball valves, which are manual ball valves, electric ball valves, and pneumatic actuated ball valves. There are several types of ball valves that are more commonly in the market. For example, there are standard types or also known as threaded type, hydraulic type, flanged type and vented type. One of the more commonly known ball valves is called a stainless steel ball valve Malaysia.

Steel in general is a strong metal but stainless steel just upgraded the whole thing. Unlike normal steel which cannot withstand corrosive material, stainless steel is used for corrosive media and aggressive environments. The applications of stainless steel can be found in seawater, swimming pools, osmosis installations, with high temperatures and many chemicals. Our company provides several types of stainless steel ball valves such as 1-piece, 2-piece and 3 piece ball valves. High grade stainless steels are chosen to manufacture our product. Moreover, stainless steel ball valves have higher pressure ratings than other types of ball valves. This is why stainless steel ball valves are heavily used in industrial and Water Well applications. There are a lot of models for the stainless steel ball valves, each with a different size and characteristic for different situations such as different pressure and temperature. Most stainless steel ball valves can withstand temperatures as low as negative 20 degrees and as high as 180 degrees.
