Product Description
A high-pressure ball valve is a heavy-duty valve designed to withstand and control fluid or gas flow in high-pressure systems. It features a ball with a bore through which the medium flows, and the valve is operated by rotating the ball to open or close the passage. This type of valve is commonly used in industries where high-pressure applications are encountered.
Frequently Asked Questions :
Q: What is the purpose of a high-pressure ball valve?
A: The primary purpose of a high-pressure ball valve is to provide reliable shut-off and control in systems with elevated pressure conditions. It effectively manages the flow of fluids or gases, ensuring safe operation and preventing leaks or damage to downstream equipment.
Q: What are the key features of a high-pressure ball valve?
A: High-pressure ball valves are designed with features that enable them to handle high-pressure environments.
