This Blog will cover everything you need to know about Ball Valves and Butterfly Valves, from applications to maintenance and more. First, let’s see a short definition of Ball Valves and Butterfly Valves. Ball Valves - Definition: A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve that uses a pivoting ball that has been drilled through to control flow. When the hole is in line with the flow direction, it allows fluids or gasses to pass through. Alternatively, when the ball is turned 90 degrees, the flow is stopped completely. In either case, the handle serves as a visual indicator of the valve’s status. If the handle is parallel to the valve, it's open. In contrast, if the handle is perpendicular, the valve is closed. At Ridhiman Alloys, we manufacture and supply premium ball valves of the highest quality. This has made us one of the biggest  Ball Valve Manufacturers In India .  Butterfly Valves - Definition: A Butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that is used t...

  In this Blog, we will explore the uses and types of Ball Valves. But first, let’s see how Ball Valves operate and what they really are. Ball Valves - Description A ball valve is a shut off valve that controls the flow of a liquid or gas by means of a rotary ball having a bore. By rotating the ball a quarter turn (90 degrees) around its axis, the medium can flow through or is blocked. They are characterized by a long service life and provide a reliable sealing over the life span, even when the valve is not in use for a long time. As a result, they are more popular as a shut off valve than for example the gate valve. For a complete comparison, read our gate valve vs ball valve article. Ball valves are more resistant against contaminated media than most other types of valves. In special versions, ball valves are also used as a control valve. This application is less common due to the relatively limited accuracy of controlling the flow rate in comparison with other types of control v...
