A two-piece valve consists of a housing and a connecting flange

Whether you are an engineer, designer, or simply someone who has never had to deal with ball valves before, there are a few things you should know. Brass is the most common alloy used in ball valves, although stainless steel is also very popular.
A two-piece valve consists of a housing and a connecting flange. It can be welded or threaded to the main pipe. It can be disassembled for cleaning or inspection.
Another feature is the ability to have the valve shut off automatically by a pneumatic actuator. It is also possible to have an electrical actuator, which can be controlled through a controller. Aside from being an automatic shutdown, a pneumatic actuator can be used to turn the valve stem a quarter turn.
An orbit ball valve is a type of ball valve that features a rotating motion that rotates the ball perpendicular to the flow stream. It also features a cam that helps hold the ball against the seat. This design is ideal for moderately abrasive services.
The most common ball design in a ball valve is the floating ball. The floating ball is suspended inside the valve and is sandwiched between the seats. This allows the ball to move laterally when the valve is closed.
The most important factor in a ball valve's operation is its design. It should be designed to have a special bore. The optimum size depends on the application and materials. In general, the smaller the bore, the less friction losses there will be in the system.
