Electric ball valve is a modern control equipment, usually used for pipeline media remote opening and closing (connecting, cutting off the medium) control, but also industrial automation process control in an important pipeline pressure components, widely used in industrial automation control field. It can accurately control the opening and closing of the ball valve through the electric actuator to realize the precise adjustment of the flow and pressure of liquid, gas and corrosive media. In an electric ball valve, the ball can be rotated within the seat to control the on-off and flow of fluid. The electric actuator is connected to the ball to realize the on/off operation through the electric signal. The control system is responsible for receiving the signal and controlling the movement of the actuator to adjust the status of the valve.

Electric ball valves are a common type of industrial valve, widely used in various fluid control systems. However, there are many factors to consider when selecting the right electric ball valve. In this article, ATO Store will discuss the selection process of electric ball valves in detail, including information on the working environment, valve material, caliber specification, control mode, actuator parameters and brand selection.

The electric ball valve is composed of an electric actuator and a ball valve. It is a pipeline pressure component used for industrial automation process control, usually used for remote opening and closing (connecting, cutting off) control of pipeline media. In this page, ATO industrial will list some prices of electric ball valve. For more infomation, please go to the industrial ball valve products page.

There are many applications of valves in life, such as faucets, water heaters, gas, etc., all have valves. But there are many types of valves according to their structure, principle, application field and so on. Among them, globe valve and ball valve are common types, so what is the difference between globe valve and ball valve? In this article, ATO industrial automation will introduce the differences between globe valve and ball valve.

Electric ball valves are generally connected to the ball valve by an electric actuator. After debugging through the device, it will become an electric ball valve. The electric ball valve is powered by electric energy, opens the electric actuator to drive the ball valve, completes the switching and conditioning of the ball valve, and then achieves the intention of switching or conditioning the pipeline medium.

The plug valve is a rotary valve in the shape of a closing member or a plunger. By rotating 90°, the channel port on the valve plug is the same as or separated from the channel port on the valve body, so as to realize the opening or closing of a valve. The shape of the plug of the plug valve can be cylindrical or conical. In cylindrical plugs, the passages are generally rectangular. In conical plugs, the passages are trapezoidal.

The ball valve is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. It only needs to be rotated 90 degrees and a small torque can be closed tightly. Ball valves are most suitable for switching and shut-off valves. The valve seat sealing ring of the ball valve is usually made of plastic, so when choosing the structure and performance of the ball valve, the fire resistance and fire resistance of the ball valve should be considered, especially in the petroleum, chemical, metallurgical and other departments.

The electric ball valve is driven by an electric actuator and has the action of rotating 90°. It is mainly used for cutting, distributing and changing the moving direction of the medium.  The electric ball valve has the characteristics of compact structure, stable performance and convenient installation. It has been used more and more in many industries. It can be operated on site or controlled remotely. It is one of the final control elements in the field of automatic control. Electric ball valves may leak during use or installation.

A ball valve is a valve with a ball as the closing part, which is mainly composed of a valve body, a valve seat, a ball, a valve stem, a handle or other driving devices, such as electric actuators, pneumatic actuators or hydraulic actuators. The ball valve is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis. It is mainly used for cutting, distributing and changing the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline.

The ball valve is a control valve that uses a ball with a circular channel as the opening and closing part, and the ball rotates with the valve stem to realize the opening and closing action. The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball with a hole, which rotates around the axis perpendicular to the channel, so as to achieve the purpose of opening and closing the channel. Ball valves are mainly used to open and close pipelines and equipment media.

Pneumatic actuated ball valve is different from manual valve. It needs to be in motion and adjustment state during use, and there are many moving parts, and it also bears the impact of various forces such as the unbalanced force of the medium. It is inevitable that various unexpected failures will occur. These failures could be actuators, regulators, and possibly from attached accessory devices. When a fault occurs, it must be dealt with and solved in time, so as not to delay the operation of the equipment of the entire project. Next, let's take a look at the common failure causes and solutions of pneumatic ball valves.

The ball valve is evolved from the plug valve. It has the same lifting action of rotating 90°, the difference is that the cock body is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel through its axis. The ratio of the spherical surface to the channel opening should be such that when the ball rotates 90°, all spherical surfaces should appear at the inlet and outlet, thereby truncating the flow. The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90° rotation operation and a small torque. The completely equal valve body cavity provides a low resistance, straight-through flow path for the medium.

Pneumatic actuated ball valve is an opening and closing control device that operates the valve through compressed air. It not only has fast switching speed, but also only needs one air source, which not only saves a lot of human resources and time, but also does not require on-site operation or high-altitude and dangerous introduction of manual operation. Remote centralized control greatly improves and ensures the safety of use. Therefore, the more widely used in the industrial field, the larger the amount of use and the faster the consumption. In order to enhance the service life of the pneumatic ball valve, daily maintenance is essential.

Ball valve and butterfly valve are the two most commonly used valves. Compared with other valves, the two are simpler and easier to operate, and they play a role in the control of cut-off and cut-off of the medium fluid in the pipeline. The ball valve is a control valve in which the opening and closing parts (balls) are driven by the valve stem and rotate around the axis of the ball valve. Butterfly valve, also known as flap valve, is a kind of regulating valve with a simple structure. Butterfly valve can be used for on-off control of low-pressure pipeline medium means that the closing member (disc or butterfly plate) is a disc, which rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing.

The ball valve is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. It only needs to be rotated 90 degrees and a small torque can be closed tightly. Ball valves are widely used in petroleum refining, long -distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal, steel and other industries. ATO offers one piece, two pieces, three pieces of stainless steel ball valves, sizes are available in 1", 1/4", 2' and 3"

The three-piece ball valve is a relatively new type of ball valve. It has some unique advantages of its own structure, such as no friction on the switch, the seal is not easy to wear, and the opening and closing torque is small. This reduces the size of the mounted actuator. Equipped with a multi-turn electric actuator that adjusts the medium and closes tightly. ATO 3 piece ball valve sizes are available in 1", 1/2" and 3".

One piece ball valve is a relatively new type of ball valve. It has some advantages unique to its own structure, such as no friction on the switch, not easy to wear the seal, and small opening and closing torque. This reduces the size of the fitted actuator. Equipped with a multi-turn electric actuator, the medium can be adjusted and tightly shut off. It is widely used in petrochemical urban water supply and drainage and other working conditions that require strict cut-off.
