Ball Valve：A ball valve operates by using a spherical closure element (the ball) that is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve. It can also be used for regulating and controlling fluid flow. Among its variants, the hard-sealed V-port ball valve features a V-shaped ball core and a metal seat hard-faced with wear-resistant alloy, providing strong shearing force, making it particularly suitable for media containing fibers or fine solid particles. Additionally, multi-port ball valves enable flexible control of media convergence, divergence, and flow direction switching within pipelines, while also allowing the closure of any one port to connect the remaining two. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in pipelines. Based on the actuation method, ball valves are categorized into: pneumatic ball valves, electric ball valves, and manual ball valves.
