1. The fluid resistance is very low. The ball valve with a full bore basically has no flow resistance.
2. Simple structure, small size, and light weight.
3. Tight and reliable. It has two sealing surfaces, and the sealing surface material of the ball valve is widely made of various plastics. It has excellent sealing performance and can achieve complete sealing. It has also been widely used in vacuum systems.
4. The operation is convenient and the opening/closing is rapid.
From fully open to fully closed, it only requires a 90° rotation, making it easy to control from a distance.
5. Easy to maintain. The ball valve has a simple structure and the sealing rings are usually movable. Therefore, disassembly and replacement are quite convenient.
6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the sphere and the valve seat are isolated from the medium. When the medium passes through, it will not cause erosion to the valve sealing surfaces.
7. Wide application range, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters. It can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.
8. Due to the wiping property of ball valves during the opening and closing process, they can be used in media containing suspended solid particles.
