Know about The Best PVDF Ball Valve And Its Importance

PVDF Ball Valves are used in high-purity liquid transportation applications such as medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, research, and other high-quality systems. PVDF pipe is made of Polyvinylidene fluoride and contains no plasticizers, pigments, or other additives that could potentially pollute the liquids being transported. PVDF ball valve is the best option when any type of contamination is not acceptable.

It's chemical and impact resistance makes it ideal for harsh environments. The Socket Fusion method is used for joining, which provides strong, durable, and tightly sealed joints in high-purity piping systems. This heat fusion method employs a thermostatically controlled heat tool to quickly create permanent and tamper-proof joints that undertake well in harsh environments.

What is a ball valve?

A ball valve consists of the best quality valve body and a large sphere with a central hole equal to the inner diameter of the pipe. As the ball rotates, the valve offers the through conduit or full bore required for unrestricted fluid flow and scrapers or pigs in the fully open position. A ball valve provides very little flow resistance in the fully open position. A ball valve's L/D ratio is approximately 3.0 when fully open. Ball valves, like gate valves, are typically used in open or closed positions.

Unlike the gate valve, the ball valve requires only a quarter turn of the hand wheel to move from fully open to fully close. Such rapid closing and opening of a ball valve may be important in some installations where quickly isolating pipe sections are required in an emergency.

The ball valve is a low-cost alternative to other types of valves. Ball valves utilize a metal ball with a hole bored through the centre sandwiched between two seats to control flow. Ball valves, used in many hydrocarbon applications, are competent in throttling gases and vapours and are especially useful in low flow situations. These valves open quickly and provide a very tight seal on difficult-to-hold fluids.

The advantages: 

The ball valve is the most commonly used fluid shutoff valve in onshore and offshore upstream oil and gas production facilities. They are also used in furnace fuel gas systems. The following are the benefits of plug valves.

• High-pressure resistance

• Convenient assembly

• Opening and closing in a flash

• Simple upkeep

• It is simple to operate (electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuator)

• Appropriate for pigging operations

• Drop in pressure

• Can be repaired in place

• Adapted to various hydrocarbon stages encountered (liquid, gas, and mixture).
