Pressure Testing Methods for Ball Valves

William Yi16 Jun, 2022Other

Ball valves work by using an internal rotating ball as the opening and closing flow control mechanism in various pipeline systems. The ball is bored through the center to create a hollow channel or port, which allows the medium to flow through it when in the open position. It rotates with the valve stem to achieve on/off actuation. Sanitary ball valves have a perforated ball that rotates around the axis perpendicular to the channel, causing the valve to open and close.
