A ball valve is a shut-off valve that uses a rotating ball with a hole to control the flow of gasses and liquids. The ball can be rotated 90 degrees (quarter-turn) with a handle or actuator to open or close the valve. What is a ball valve and how does it work? We explain the parts of a ball valve , how they are powered and more in this article. A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control the flow of fluid. It is known for providing a tight seal even after prolonged use, making it ideal for applications requiring shutoff and control. With the ball in a fixed position, the fluid presses the sealing elements against the ball . In the case of a ball valve with a floating ball , the ball is pressed into the opposite seal face. Ball valves are available in different sizes and various designs: with a single-piece, two-piece or three-piece body, with or without flanges.
