Ball Valves

-Regular ball valves in a line are used for switching (on/off) the medium flow. Ball Valve is not a control valve in the sense that it cannot be maintained partially open during normal operations.

-It is open or closed by a simple 90° rotation of the command stem, which can be done manually or actuated depending the operating pressure and the valve bore.

Oil and Gas Industry

In the oil and gas sector, ball valves are a popular choice due to their efficient flow regulation, tight sealing, and other advantages. For low- or medium-pressure applications, floating ball valves are often recommended, while trunnion-mounted ball valves are better suited for high-pressure conditions.

Oil and Gas Industry

Chemical Industry

Industrial ball valves find widespread application in petrochemical and chemical processing because of their primary functions of controlling flow, regulating pressure, and providing shutoff for a variety of media, including slurries, corrosive substances, as well as standard liquids and gases

Chemical Industry

Water Treatment

Filtration Systems is one of the most frequently used components for ball valves. The key function lies in backwashing. By using a three-way or four-way ball valve (or a combination of multiple two-way ball valves), the direction of the water flow can be changed to achieve the automatic switching between filtration and backwashing modes.

Industrial Ball Valves
The global market for industrial ball valves was expected to grow to USD 14.7 billion by 2025. This expansion is largely fueled by their projected use across diverse sectors and upcoming projects. Rising industrialization, along with facility upgrades and technological progress, continues to drive this need. To maintain a competitive edge in this environment, TSV, as manufacturer, must focus on innovation and responsiveness to market requirements. Among all valve categories, ball valves accounted for a significant portion of the market, securing 19% of total global revenue last year. Their prevalence is due to their critical function in controlling flow and providing reliable shut-off.

What is an industrial ball valve?

As a type of quarter-turn valve, industrial ball valves utilize a rotating ball with a bore to start or stop media flow with a simple 90-degree turn. They are valued for reliable sealing and ease of operation but are unsuitable for throttling or partially open duties, as uneven pressure can damage internal components.

Metal-seated ball valves, in particular, are essential in demanding environments such as chemical processing, mining, and other non-refinery applications involving high pressure, extreme temperatures, abrasion, or corrosive media. This has driven specific demand for durable quarter-turn valves capable of crucial isolation under harsh conditions. Reputable manufacturers like TSV design these valves for rapid actuation, easy restoration, and dependable performance even in severe service situations.

Industrial Ball Valve Components
Basically, industrial ball valves consist of four main parts: body, ball, stem, and seat. Each part has an important function.
Body
The valve body serves as the central housing and primary structural element, integrating all internal components while providing a protective enclosure. It is directly connected to the pipeline, forming a critical part of the overall piping system.
Stem
This component is the stem, which links the actuator or handle to the ball inside the valve. It transmits the rotational force applied to the handle, converting it into the quarter-turn movement that rotates the ball.
Ball
The stem is the mechanical component that connects the valve body to the ball, allowing for the rotation of the ball. It is typically made of metal and is designed to be a perfect cylinder, ensuring a tight seal when closed.
Seat
The seat is the component that seals the valve body, ensuring a tight seal when the valve is closed. It is typically made of metal and is designed to be a perfect cylinder, ensuring a tight seal when closed.
Advantages & Disadvantage of Industrial Ball Valves:
Advantages
Industrial ball valves offer a cost-efficient alternative within the valve family, largely due to their compact, low-maintenance design that eliminates the need for lubrication. Typically constructed from durable metals and corrosion-resistant alloys, these valves are well-suited to harsh operating environments, which contributes to their extended lifespan. TSV, as reputable manufacturer, produces them in compliance with strict industry standards to guarantee robustness. Additionally, industrial ball valves demonstrate strong resistance to hydraulic shock, significant vibration, and sudden pressure surges.
Disadvantage
Ball valves are typically only available within a constrained range of sizes. Their use is also discouraged for sustained throttling applications, as fluids containing suspended solids can lead to internal erosion, seal damage, and eventual failure. TSV, as specialized manufacturer, mitigates these issues by developing custom-engineered valves for particular operational demands. Nevertheless, the overall reliability and simple operation of ball valves continue to make them a widely selected option across various sectors.
Ball Valves by Ball Movement
Customers can choose the appropriate type from the Floating Ball Valve and the Trunnion Ball Valve according to own needs. The following are the differences between the two:
ball-item
Trunnion Mounted
Trunnion ball valves utilize a fixed ball design for superior performance in large and high-pressure applications, albeit at a greater cost than floating ball valves.
ball-item
Floating Ball Valve
Unlike trunnion mounted designs, the floating ball valve, also called floatball valve, is not held in place but instead moves under pressure toachieve sealing.
Ball Valves by Entry
As a leading manufacturer, TSV provides a selection of industrial ball valves, including top-entry designs and side-entry designs, categorized by their entry type:
Top Entry
Defined by their top-side assembly, these valves employ a ball trim within a one-piece cast body. This construction shares similarities with globe valves in its bodied-and-bonneted form factor but differs fundamentally in its operating mechanism.
Side Entry
Characterized by lateral assembly, side-entry ball valves feature a two or three-piece body construction. These sections are bolted together in a manner analogous to connecting pipe flanges
