The fluid resistance is small. The full-bore ball valve has almost no flow resistance.
2. Simple structure, small volume and light weight.
3. Tight and reliable. It has two sealing surfaces, and the sealing surface materials of the ball valve widely use various plastics, which have good sealing performance and can achieve complete sealing. It has also been widely used in vacuum systems.
4. It is easy to operate and opens and closes quickly. It only needs to be rotated 90° from fully open to fully closed, which is convenient for remote control.
5. Easy to maintain, the ball valve has a simple structure and the sealing rings are usually movable, making disassembly and replacement relatively convenient.
When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and the valve seat are isolated from the medium. When the medium passes through, it will not cause erosion of the valve's sealing surfaces.
7. It has a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be used from high vacuum to high pressure.
8. Due to the wiping property of the ball valve during the opening and closing process, it can be used in media containing suspended solid particles
