High pressure ball valves are designed to control fluid in full open and full close position. Ball Valves are suitable for installation in piping systems with connections at the same pressure load and corresponding connections or between flanges of the same pressure load and the same flange connection.
It provides unrestricted flow of fluids and a way to shut off that flow using the attached handle. They are connected through robust stem and anti-blowout stem and are built to contain a different volume of pressure when the valve is the closed position.
To understand the working principle of a ball valve, it is important to know the five main ball valve parts and 2 different operation types. The 5 main components can be seen in the ball valve diagram in Figure 2. The valve stem (Figure 2 labeled A) is connected to the ball (Figure 2 labeled D) and is either manually operated or automatically operated (electrically or pneumatically). The ball is supported and sealed by the ball valve seat (Figure 2 labeled E) and their are o-rings (Figure 2 labeled B) around the valve stem. All are inside the valve housing (Figure 2 labeled C). The ball has a bore through it, as seen in the sectional view in Figure 1. When the valve stem is turned a quarter-turn the bore is either open to the flow allowing media to flow through or closed to prevent media flow.
The actuator of a high-pressure forged ball valve is the mechanism responsible for opening and closing the valve, allowing for remote or automated control of fluid or gas flow.
High-pressure forged ball valves can be equipped with various types of actuators, depending on the application requirements and the level of automation desired. Common types include:
Manual Actuators: These actuators require human intervention to operate the valve, typically through the use of a handwheel or lever. Manual actuators are simple, reliable, and well-suited for applications where infrequent operation or precise control is necessary.
Pneumatic Actuators: Pneumatic actuators use compressed air to actuate the valve, converting the energy of the air into mechanical motion to open or close the valve. They offer rapid response times and are commonly used in industrial automation applications where quick valve operation is essential.
Electric Actuators: Electric actuators utilize electrical energy to open and close the valve, often through the use of an electric motor. They offer precise control and can be integrated into automated systems with ease, making them suitable for applications requiring continuous or remote operation.
Hydraulic Actuators: Hydraulic actuators use hydraulic fluid to generate mechanical force and operate the valve. They are known for their high force output and are commonly used in applications where high-pressure operation or heavy-duty valve actuation is required.
