About Ball Valve
A Ball Valve is a quarter-turn valve used for shut-off purposes. The valve opens and closes the fluid flow through an integrated ball, which rotates within the body of the valve. In on-off uses, ball valves are industry standard and are smaller and comparatively lightweight. They can be used in a wide range of applications in all sizes including high pressure, steam, and condensate applications that can handle all types of fluid in Oil and Gas Industry.
The Specialty of NTGD Ball Valves
The two main designs offered are trunnion mounted ball valves and a floating ball valve.
1. Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve.
� The trunnion mounted ball valve is a type of a quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and fixed/supported ball to regulate the flow. These valves imply the ball is limited by bearings and can only rotate, the bulk of the hydraulic load is balanced by system constraints, resulting in low bearing pressure and no shaft fatigue.
� The benefits of trunnion mounted ball valve?construction include lower operational torque, ease of use, reduced seat wear (Stem/ball insulation avoids downstream seat side loading and wear enhancing efficiency and service life), better sealing ability at both high and low pressure.
2. Floating Ball Valve.
� A floating ball valve, as the term implies, uses a ball as the mechanism to cover the cross-section of the pipe to avoid the fluid movement. Now the main feature of these valves is that the ball has no structure to support it, so it remains suspended by valve seats in the fluid and place.
� In the floating ball valve, the resistance to fluid is low and the resistance coefficient is equal to that of the same length portion of the pipe. It has a simple form, compact size, and lightweight. It is pretty tight and reliable. Quick shutter speed is easy to operate. To allow remote control, the rotation from the fully open to the fully closed position is as long as 90 [deg.].
