Shutoff function (flow shutoff): The primary function of a ball valve is to shut off or open the flow of a working fluid or gas. When the knob or control mechanism of a ball valve is turned, its opening lines up with the flow, allowing the liquid or gas to pass, or conversely, blocks the flow, preventing it.
Flow Control: A ball valve can be used to regulate the intensity of flow. Although it is most often used as a shut-off device, in some cases it can also be used to partially control the rate of flow in a piping system.
Switching between different flows: Ball valves are often installed to switch between multiple flows in pipelines, allowing liquids or gases to be efficiently directed to the right areas of the system.
Preventing leaks and accidents: Ball valves create a tight seal, which is important for preventing leaks of oil, gas, and other substances, which reduces the risk of accidents and contamination.
Advantages of using a KSC ball valve:
High Tightness: Ball valves provide a reliable tight seal when closed, which prevents the leakage of liquids or gases. Resistant to high pressures and temperatures: These valves are capable of operating at high pressures and temperatures, making them ideal for use in the harsh environment of the oil and gas industry. Ease of Operation: Ease of operation and quick opening and closing makes the ball valve easy to operate. Reliability: Ball valves offer durability and high reliability, which is especially important for long-term operation in extreme environments. Low Pressure Loss: When the valve is open, flow passes through with minimal pressure loss, increasing system efficiency.
Application of ball valve KSHZ:
In pipeline systems: The ball valve is used to shut off or regulate the flow of oil, gas or other working fluids in pipelines, providing control over production and transportation processes.
On drilling rigs: In the drilling process, a ball valve is used to control the flow of drilling mud, manage fluids, and block flows in the event of an emergency.
In hydrocarbon transportation: Valves are installed in pipelines to safely transport oil and gas, and to prevent leaks or quickly shut down the system when necessary.
In oil gathering and refining systems: Ball valves control the flow of working fluids in oil and gas gathering, processing and storage systems, including processes in processing plants.
In gas supply and distribution systems: Used to control the flow of gas in distribution systems, maintaining the safety and efficiency of gas pipelines.
For equipment isolation: A ball valve is used to isolate sections of a piping system, which is necessary for maintenance or repairs.
