Type | Common Materials | Applications | Key Features |
---|---|---|---|
One-piece ball valve | SS304 / SS316 | Water treatment, low-pressure | Low cost, compact structure |
Two-piece ball valve | SS304 / SS316 | HVAC, chemical systems | Easy to maintain, better sealing |
Three-piece ball valve | SS316 / CF8M | Pharma, food, petrochemical | Removable design, easy cleaning & repair |
Flanged ball valve | SS316 / 316L | Oil, gas, high-pressure pipelines | Robust connection, suited for high-pressure use |
High-platform ball valve | SS304 / CF8M | Automation systems | ISO 5211 mount, actuator-ready |
Cryogenic ball valve | ASTM A351 CF8C / CF3M | LNG, liquefied gases | Withstands -196°C, extended bonnet |
Fire-safe ball valve | SS316 / SS321 | Oil refineries, flammable gases | API 607 fireproof standard, anti-static design |
3-way/4-way ball valve | SS304 / SS316 | Media switching, mixing | Multi-port control, compact system layout |
SS316, 316L, CF8M: Preferred for high-corrosion and cold climate resistance (Siberia, Far East, Arctic regions).
SS304: Common in HVAC, water supply, food processing.
Flanged connections: Preferred for medium-to-high pressure systems due to sealing reliability.
Three-piece over one-piece: Better for frequent maintenance, cleaning, and modular use.
Growing demand for pneumatic and electric actuated ball valves in automated gas and chemical systems.
