Advantages Of Using A Double Port Ball Valve

Fitting ball valves use a rotating ball with a bore to regulate and shut off liquid or gas flow. By rotating the ball 90 degrees, the medium flowing inside the tube can be flowed or blocked. Union Ball valve has a long service life and seal reliably over their entire service life. Due to special measures, the opening and closing of the ball valve is only rotated 90 degrees. Due to their reliable hermetic seal, these valves are a popular industrial choice. Ball valves work efficiently even when not in use for long periods of time. This property of ball valve makes it a popular shutoff valve for controlling and shutting off pipeline flow. Additionally, ball valves are more tolerant of contaminated media than most other valve types.

Why And Where To Use A Double Union Ball Valve?

Double union ball valves have both advantages and disadvantages. Determining where valves are needed in a piping system and what type of flow control is needed can help determine if a double port ball he valve is the right choice.

As the name suggests, double union ball valves have two unions, one on each side. A fitting allows the valve to be unscrewed and removed from the pipeline. There, after repairing the valve or checking for blockages, it can be easily installed in the pipeline with the fittings installed. This means you don't have to worry about cutting pipes to access and repair valves. It also means that the process of reconnecting the valve to the piping system is quick and does not add to system downtime.

The main advantage of double union ball valves is that they allow flow throughout the passage. This means that it cannot catch anything that might fall into water or liquids. Therefore, it is very unlikely that you will be blocked. Single union ball valves are an alternative to double union ball valves offering the same benefits as full bore flow. Ported ball valves, on the other hand, only have ports on one side. For this reason, single ball valves should be used at the end of the pipeline rather than in the middle of the system. If used in the middle of a pipe system, the only way to remove it is to cut the pipe on one side and loosen the fitting. Next you need to glue the fittings to the pipe. This means that the system will be unavailable for a long time. This is why we use double union ball valves throughout the system and a single union ball valve at the end of the system.

Ball valves have their advantages, but they are difficult to control. Fine flow control is difficult because the valve takes only a quarter turn from fully open to fully closed. Perfect for when you want fully open, fully closed, or something in between. However, if you need finer control, consider using a gate valve that makes about 8 turns between fully open and fully closed. Gate valves provide fine control of the valve and fine control of the flow rate.
