Forged steel ball valve is a valve designed to withstand high pressure and rough working conditions, just like a spherical faucet in industrial pipelines.
The structural principle of forged steel ball valve is simple and reliable. The explanation is as follows:
1. Rotate the ball to control the water flow
The core is a steel ball with a circular hole, which can be turned 90 degrees to open and close the pipeline: when the hole is aligned with the pipeline, the water flow is unobstructed, and it can be directly cut off when it crosses. Operation is like turning a faucet, it can be done with a wrench.
2. A seamless steel lump
The entire valve is forged from solid steel blocks using a “thousand hammers and hundreds of refinements” (imagine a blacksmith pounding iron), which is denser than cast valves, like solid bricks vs hollow bricks, doubling the pressure bearing capacity. High pressure steam and flammable oil and gas rushed over without moving.
It has applications in thermal power plants, chemical plant pipelines, and natural gas transportation. Where high pressure and high temperature are dangerous, there are forged steel ball valve control stations!
