Different ball valves can be classified based on different features such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Number of Ports: Ball valves can be easily categorized based on the number of ports. A standard ball valve type has 2 ports (1 inlet and 1 outlet). A 3-way port has also been designed with 1 inlet and 2 outlets, or 2 inlets and 1 outlet.<\/li>\n<li>Design: Different designs such as floating, and trunnion mounted.<\/li>\n<li>Seat Type: Teflon, Metal<\/li>\n<li>Body Assembly: unibody, two pieces, or three pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Ball Access: Side entry, or top entry<\/li>\n<li>Bore Size: Full bore, reduced bore, V-notch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Popular_Ball_Valve_Types\"><\/span><strong>Most Popular Ball Valve Types<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are six basic ball valve types:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> V-Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Full Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>multi-port ball valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>standard port ball valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>reduced port ball valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>True union<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Manually operated ball valve<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4 General body styles have also been designed for ball valves based on their use and application including: split body, single body, top entry, and welded.

You should consider different specifications such as pressure, size, temperature, number of ports, body materials, end connectors, and configurations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Full Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Full port or full bore ball valve is more expensive than other types. The oversized ball in the full port ball valve lowers the friction loss because the hole in this ball valve is the same size as the pipeline. Though the valve is larger, the flow is unrestricted in full port ball valve size.<\/p>\n<p>Full bore ball valves are usually used for throttling applications in various systems with high flow coefficients and low pressure drops.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Standard Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Compared to the full port, the standard port ball valve has a smaller port and ball. It\u2019s less expensive but comes with a slightly restricted flow due to the pipe size. Though they are cheaper, they have higher pressure drops compared to other ball valve types. Standard port valves are great for systems with high flow coefficient, just like full port valves.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>V-Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The V in the v-port ball valve represents either the shape of the seat or the shape of the ball. V ball valve enables you to control the opening and the closing better. The flow characteristic in this type is close to linear. The high velocities of the fluids used with such ball valves forced the designers to come up with generally more robust construction for them since these types of fluids quickly damage a standard valve.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_Video_about_Ball_valve_types\"><\/span><strong>Watch Video about Ball valve types\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PmtJi0oveSk\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Multi-Port Ball Valve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Multi-port ball valves have three or four ways with an L to T shaped hole in the middle.

Some of the more popular materials are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>PVC<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>PVC, also known as Polyvinyl Chloride, is some sort of plastic which is used in the design of ball valves. One of their advantages is that they are flexible and smooth, providing easier movements for ball valve parts.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Bronze and Brass<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bronze and brass are ideal for ball valves that are used in the systems under low or medium pressure. Plus, these materials are water and corrosion resistant.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Stainless Steel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Different ball valve types use stainless steel as one of the important materials in their design since it contains many positive characteristics such as durability and corrosion resistance. Ball valves with stainless steel can be used in geochemical systems and general plant system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/industrial-directories\/343\/check-valve\/for-sale\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=CRO&amp;utm_term=ball_valve_types&amp;utm_content=for_sale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> See All Check Valve for Sale<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>CPVC<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>CPVC or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorinated_polyvinyl_chloride\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chlorinated PVC<\/a> is similar to PVC but it can tolerate higher temperatures. This material is suitable for ball valves that are handling hot water.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Iron<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Although iron is not as flexible as PVC, it has its own use when it comes to creating ball valves. Since iron can withstand a vast range of pressures and temperatures, it\u2019s considered as a popular material for creating ball valves.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that each of these ball valve types has their own advantages and disadvantages and it depends on where you want to use the ball valve and its application that makes one of them a better choice over the other.<\/p>\n<p>That was all there\u2019s to know about different ball valve types.
