As the name goes, this type of ball valve has three ways or ports. There are two types of 3-way ball valves: L-port and T-port. These valves can send fluids one way, shut off flow completely, or mix two different flows. The name refers to the shape of the opening in the ball. The two […]

Bronze and brass valves have different properties. The former has higher thermal conductivity than the latter and is, therefore, better suited for hotter temperatures. However, the former does not have the same thermal conductivity as copper, so the price of bronze valves is generally lower.  Both bronze and brass valves are made of copper and […]

Choosing the right type of ball valve is crucial for industrial applications as knowing the difference between a trunnion vs floating ball valve.  Floating and trunnion are the two most common types of ball valves.  Floating ball valves are often used in industrial applications, while trunnion-mounted valves have a fixed ball and can be adjusted […]

End entry ball valves are designed for closed-loop, bidirectional shut-off applications. The ball, which is attached to the valve stem, is held in place by two elastomeric seats.  When upstream pressure is generated, the ball is pressed against the downstream seat, creating a tight seal. In some applications, this valve allows for bi-directional shut-off, as […]

If you’re in the market for industrial plumbing valves, you’ve come to the right place. Valves are integral components of industrial systems and must meet specific sanitation and regulatory requirements. While the selection process can be daunting, starting with a few general characteristics will narrow down your options.  Valves are electromechanical devices that regulate and […]

If you are looking for a good job in the oil and gas industry, then you should consider a career in ball valves. Ball valves are used in a wide range of applications, including hydraulic, pneumatic, and petrochemical. This industry is expected to grow substantially in the future.  The oil and gas industry is booming […]

While both ball valve and butterfly valve are used in the same way, there are a few key differences. Ball valves provide better cutoff characteristics in high-pressure applications. Butterfly valves require a pressure-balancing scheme to regulate the flow. This makes them better suited for a variety of services. Both types of valves can control flow […]

These valves are designed to control the flow of fluid in a pipeline. Their unique function is to open when the bore of the valve is aligned with the pipeline and close when the bore is perpendicular to the flow of fluid. These valves are not well suited for throttling flow, but their open/closed state […]

The trunnion is often used in many industrial applications. It is also used in a ball valve. This trunnion keeps the ball inside the valve in place and controls the flow with it. A ball valve equipped with a trunnion is known as a trunnion ball valve.  A ball valve in a trunnion mount will […]
