BALL VALVE APPLICATION
Because of their excellent operating characteristics, ball valves are used for the broadest spectrum of isolation applications and are available in a wide range of sizes, pressure ratings, materials and trim. Ball valves are quick acting, allows flow in either direction, has a low pressure drop with bubble tight shut off. It is easily actuated with multiple designs possible.
