A high-pressure forged ball valve is a crucial component in fluid control systems, particularly in applications where pressure levels are elevated.
These valves are typically constructed using forged materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, or other high-strength alloys. The forging process ensures a compact, high-integrity structure capable of withstanding high pressures.
These valves are designed to withstand high pressures, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of psi (pounds per square inch). They are suitable for applications where standard valves might fail due to pressure limitations.
They Utilize a hollow ball that rotates allowing a flow through it when aligned and stops the flow when it is in a closed position. A quick 90 Degree turn of the handle is all that is needed to fully open or close the valve flow.
When the handle is parallel and in-line with the pipe, then the valve is open. When the handle is perpendicular and at right angles to the pipe, then the valve is closed. It is this 90° turn either clock wise or anti-clockwise to open or shut the flow of the valve ,that led them to also be known as quarter-turn valves.
The valve has an internal rotary ball with a hollow bore running through the center. This Inner ball is connected to the handle via a stem. So by turning the handle the ball rotates and when the hollow bore is aligned with the pipe and the in same direction as the flow, then the flow is open, and when the bore is perpendicular to the flow, then flow is shut off.
These valves find application across various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and refining. They are used in pipelines, process equipment, and systems where precise fluid control under high-pressure conditions is essential.
Many high-pressure forged ball valves are equipped with safety features such as blowout-proof stems and pressure relief mechanisms to prevent accidents and ensure operator safety.
