2024年08月30日

Ball valves, especially fully welded ball valves, have a wide range of applications. The following is a specific explanation of its application:


1、 Industrial sector

Oil and Natural Gas:

In the petroleum industry, fully welded ball valves are commonly used in oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, oil fields, refineries and other equipment to control the flow rate, pressure and direction of fluids, ensuring the safe operation of pipeline systems.

In natural gas transmission pipeline systems, fully welded ball valves can be used to control the flow and pressure of natural gas, prevent leaks, and ensure the safe operation of pipelines.


Chemical industry:

The chemical industry has high requirements for the corrosion resistance and sealing of valves. Fully welded ball valves can control the flow of various corrosive and high-temperature media, ensuring the normal operation of chemical equipment.

Its excellent sealing performance and pressure resistance make the fully welded ball valve perform well in controlling the flow and pressure of chemical media.


Pharmaceutical and Food:

The pharmaceutical and food industries have strict requirements for product purity and hygiene conditions. Fully welded ball valves are suitable for fluid control systems in these industries due to their structural characteristics of no external leakage, which helps ensure product quality and safety.


2、 Urban infrastructure

Water supply and drainage system:

In urban water supply and drainage systems, fully welded ball valves can be used to regulate water flow and cut off water pipes, ensuring the normal operation of the system. Its sealing performance can prevent water leakage and reduce water resource waste.

In the sewage treatment system, fully welded ball valves can control the flow direction and pressure of sewage, ensuring the normal operation of the system.

Thermal pipeline system:

The flow of high-temperature media is often involved in thermal pipeline systems. Fully welded ball valves can withstand high temperature and high pressure working environments, used to control the flow of hot water, steam and other media, ensuring the normal operation of thermal pipeline systems.


3、 Other fields

papermaking:

In the papermaking industry, fully welded ball valves can be used to control fluid media such as pulp, chemicals, etc. in the papermaking process, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process.

Electricity:

In the power industry, fully welded ball valves can be used to control media such as steam and circulating water in thermal power plants, helping to ensure the stability and safety of power production.


4、 Summary of Characteristics

Excellent sealing performance: The fully welded ball valve adopts an integral welding structure, without the need for additional sealing packing, thus avoiding problems of packing leakage and sealing failure.

Strong pressure resistance: able to withstand high pressure and high temperature working environments, ensuring the safe operation of pipeline systems.

Good fluid control performance: With low resistance and pressure drop, it can quickly achieve fluid opening and cutting, reducing energy consumption and the risk of fluid leakage.

Strong corrosion resistance: Valve bodies are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or alloy steel, which are suitable for controlling various corrosive media.

Compact structure and easy operation: The spherical structure is compact, quick to open and close, easy to operate, and has low maintenance costs.

In summary, fully welded ball valves have become an indispensable and important equipment in fluid control systems due to their excellent performance and wide range of applications.
