Before understanding the features of the stainless steel 3-way ball valve, we need to know what the stainless steel 3-way ball valve is. The industrial use rate of stainless steel 3-way ball valves is very high. The stainless steel ball valve is one of the most practical products. The stainless steel 3-way ball valve has T type stainless steel 3-way ball valve and L type stainless steel 3-way ball valve. The T type stainless steel 3-way ball valve can connect three orthogonal pipelines with each other and cut off the third channel. It plays the role of shunt and confluence. The L-type stainless steel 3-way ball valve can only connect two orthogonal pipelines. It can not maintain the interconnection of the third pipeline at the same time. It only plays the role of distribution. Here we will explain the characteristics of stainless steel 3-way ball valves, and how to use them.

Features of the stainless steel three-way ball valve

1. Friction-less open and close: it completely solves the traditional valve due to the friction between the sealing surfaces and affects the sealing problem.

2. Mounted structure: the valve installed on the pipeline can be directly online inspection and maintenance. It can effectively reduce device parking and reduce the cost. This type of valves should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline.

3. Single seat design: eliminate the cavity medium of valves due to abnormal boost and affect the use of safety problem.

4. Low torque design: the valve stem has a special structure design. It only needs a small hand to open and close the valve easily.

5. Wedge sealing structure: the valve is provided by the mechanical force of the valve stem. The ball wedge is pressed to the seat and sealed, so that the sealing of the valve is not affected by the pressure difference change of the pipeline. The sealing performance has a reliable guarantee under various working conditions.

6. The self-cleaning structure of the sealing surface: when the ball tilts away from the seat. The fluid in the pipeline along the ball sealing surface into 360° uniform through. It not only eliminates the high-speed fluid on the seat local flushing, but also washed away the accumulation on the sealing surface, to achieve the purpose of self-cleaning.

7. The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to the same length of pipe.

8. Simple structure, small volume and light weight

9. Close and reliable. ​Plastic is widely used on the sealing surface material of ball valves. It has good sealing. It has also been widely used in the vacuum system.

10. It is easy to operate, open and close quickly. It is easy to remote control.

11. It is easy to maintain. The structure of ball valves is simple, and the sealing ring is generally active. The disassembly and replacement are more convenient.

12. If it is fully opened or fully closed, the sealing surface of the sphere and the seat isolate the medium. When the medium passes, it will not cause the erosion of the sealing surface of valves.

13. The applications are wide.
