A bronze ball valve is a type of valve made from bronze material, which controls the on/off and flow of fluid by rotating the ball. It is widely used in various industries such as oil, chemical, power, metallurgy, and shipbuilding due to its corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, excellent sealing, and easy operation.
The main operating principle is simple: the valve stem rotates to control the opening or closing of the ball valve. The opening/closing mechanism is compact, making operation convenient. It can also be manufactured in large diameters while maintaining high sealing performance. The design is simple and rational, facilitating maintenance. The sealing surface and ball remain in a closed state most of the time, effectively isolating the medium from impact and corrosion.
Both ball valves and plug valves belong to the same category, but the key difference lies in the closing element—a ball valve uses a ball that rotates around the valve body's centerline to open or close.
Bronze ball valves are widely recognized and applied in multiple industrial fields due to their reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance.
