A PVC ball valve is extremely long-lasting and cost-effective and can be used to regulate the flow of water, air, corrosive chemicals, acids, and bases. A PVC or a polyvinyl chloride ball valve is a plastic on/off valve with a rotary ball, and a bore attempting to turn the ball a quarter turn can stop fluid flow. Like all ball valves, PVC valves halt the flow by rotating a ball 90°. PVC ball valves have high resistance to lower temperatures and pressure while having low mechanical strength.
Why ball valve?
A rotating ball known as a rotary ball is at the heart of PVC ball valves. The mechanism for turning the ball is a stem at the top of the ball, which can be done either manually or automatically based on the design of the valve. When the handle is properly parallel to the pipe, the valve is open; when it is perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is closed.
These valves are made of nonflammable plastic and can withstand temperatures ranging from -14°C to -140°C. With a lightweight body, compact design, ease of installation, and the ability to adapt to a wide range of applications, they have many of the same uses as traditional ball valves.
PVC ball valves types:
The various types of these ball valves are intended for specific applications. They are classified according to the number of ports, seat types, body assembly, ball access, and bore size. The implementation, described by the pressure, size, temperature, number of ports needed, end connectors, and configuration, determines the type of ball valve to be used.
Vinyl resin, a thermoplastic material that shifts physical characteristics when heated or cooled, is used to make PVC valves. PVC, like all thermoplastics, is an eco-friendly plastic that can be melted and reshaped multiple times. PVC is popularly used in the production of piping, in addition to its use in the manufacture of PVC valves.
• PVC ball valves that float:
The ball in a floating ball valve is suspended in the flow and held in place by the compression of its seats. With a quarter turn of the handle, the shaft is joined at the top of the ball, allowing for sleek positioning from open to close. When the ball is turned, it presses against its seats, causing the flow to stop. The valve gets its name from the ball that floats within the valve body.
• CPVC:
It is chlorinated PVC, which is made similarly to PVC but differs in the amount of chlorination it receives. Chlorine atoms are included in the polymer resin until it has a chlorine content of 60% to 70%. As a solid plastic, CPVC reacts differently regarding heat absorption and release, cooling and heating, and pressure response. In the proper pressure and chemical conditions, CPVC products can operate at temperatures ranging from 200° F to 230° F.
Because of its unique properties, CPVC is suitable for various applications, from residential plumbing to chemical industry synthesis. Though not recommended for pressurized gases or air, CPVC can be employed in high-pressure liquid applications.
