What are the functions of carbon steel ball valves
Carbon steel ball valves are primarily used to cut off or connect the medium in pipelines, and can also be used for fluid regulation and control. Carbon steel ball valves refer to spherical valves made of carbon steel material. In pipelines, carbon steel ball valves are mainly used for cutting off, distributing, and changing the flow direction of the medium. They can be tightly closed with just a 90-degree rotation and a small rotational torque.
Characteristics of carbon steel ball valve:
It features a compact structure, reliable sealing, simple design, and convenient maintenance. The sealing surface and spherical surface are often in a closed state, making them less prone to erosion by the medium. It is easy to operate and maintain. It is suitable for general working media such as water, solvents, acids, and natural gas.
Operation process of carbon steel ball valve:
Before connecting to the pipeline, it is necessary to flush and thoroughly remove any residual impurities from the pipeline (these substances may damage the valve seat and ball).
During installation, please do not use the actuator part of the valve as the lifting point to avoid damaging the actuator and its accessories.
It should be installed in the horizontal or vertical direction of the pipeline.
