A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve used to control the flow of liquids or gases in a pipeline. The ball valve working principle is simple: ball valves operate by using a spherical ball with a hole through its center, which rotates within the valve body to control fluid flow. When the ball's hole aligns with the flow path, the ball valve is open, allowing fluid to pass through. Rotating the ball 90 degrees so that the hole is perpendicular to the flow path closes the ball valve, blocking fluid flow. This ball valve action provides reliable sealing, quick operation, and minimal pressure drop, making ball valves ideal for various industrial applications.
Ball valves are valued for their quick operation and reliable sealing. Key ball valve applications include:
Oil and Gas: Control pipeline flow and handle high-pressure fluids.
Water Treatment: Regulate water and manage wastewater slurries using ball valves with drain.
Chemical: Manage corrosive fluids and mix chemical streams via ball valve connection options.
Pharmaceutical/Food: Ensure sterile flow in production processes.
HVAC: Control water in heating/cooling and plumbing systems using ball valve fittings.
Marine: Manage ship systems with ball valve materials resistant to seawater corrosion.
Power Generation: Regulate steam and cooling fluids.
Pulp and Paper/Mining: Handle abrasive slurries and chemicals.
Aerospace/Defense: Control fuel and cryogenic fluids.

Ball valves are widely used for their reliability and efficiency in controlling fluid flow. They are commonly employed in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and manufacturing. Ball valves are ideal for applications requiring a tight seal and quick shutoff, such as in pipelines, storage tanks, and process systems. Their compact ball valve design to handle high pressure and temperature makes them suitable for both on/off and throttling operations, ensuring optimal performance in diverse industrial environments.
KFTE ball valves are available in materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, and exotic alloys to EN 10204 3.1/3.2 standards, ensuring corrosion resistance and durability. Design features include fire-safe certification (API 6FA, API 607), fugitive emission compliance (ISO 15848, API 641), and options for manual, pneumatic, or electric actuation. These features make our valves suitable for extreme conditions, from -196°C to 550°C.
