The ball valve received this name due to the shape of its shutter, which is a hollow sphere through which the fluid passes, when fully opened.

When closed, the passage is perpendicular to the direction of flow, which prevents passage.

The main function of the ball valve is to control the flow of fluid in various pipelines and, due to its excellent operation, it is one of the most used in industries (especially oil and gas) and homes.

It works very well in corrosive environments, with high temperatures and high pressures. This explains its widespread use in the oil industry.

An important factor in a ball valve is its ability to open and close quickly, which allows it to effectively stop the flow without pressure loss, even when the pressure is extremely high.

When maintaining a ball valve, an important and practical point is that you do not need to remove it for the service to be performed.
