Lasting througn many years of constant use, DomBor ball valves can withstand various pressures and corrosion. Due to their bubble-tight seal, they are zero-leak, and capable of controlling high pressures and high fluid volumes. Coming in various designs, our products help lower the number of valves required for pipelines and thus minimize additional costs.
Shutoff and control applications are what our solutions are designed for. To help improve overall processing efficiency, we utilize advanced polishing machinery to give our quality valves a cleaner, smoother surface.
Capable of bi-directional shut-off, our floating valves have excellent sealing performance and are easy to operate thanks to their simple structure.
Designed with smaller actuators, our trunnion ball valves provide ample space within pipelines while proving efficient under rising pressure.
Through their multi-part body, our 3-way valves enable faster assembly, reassembly, and routine maintenance without doing damage to the pipe.
With a smaller design and high flow coefficients, our V-port ball valves present an affordable choice that achieves similar flow rates as larger models.
With a one-piece body structure for added resistance to pipeline loads, our valves are durable and easy to repair thanks to their superb design.
Requiring fewer installation processes and having a simple design, our valves are easier to install for different applications.
Made of durable steel, our valves are made tighter through primary and secondary seal while maintaining their toughness in stressful environments.
As a friction-free model, our rising stem ball valves require little contact to reduce wear and tear and minimize routine maintenance.
Serving pipeline isolation and chemical sampling, our valves block both sides of a working area while bleeding any pressure within piping to guarantee greater safety.
Built to withstand high pressures and stress cracking, our fully welded ball valves are made to last under constant operation.
DomBor Valve, with its experienced specialists, specializes in manufacturing industrial valves and provides technical support and one-stop solutions for the global market.
Due to the anticipated growth of ball valves in several different projects and industries, the global industrial ball valves market gained USD 8.1 billion in 2020, and now it is projected to reach USD 14.7 billion by 2025. Moreover, increased industrialization and expansion of existing facilities have spurred demand due to technological innovations and boosted industry growth.
There are different types of industrial valves, but the ball valves took 19% of the global revenue share in the previous year. One of the reasons why ball valves are in demand is that they are mainly applied for flow regulation and whenever tight shut-off is needed. Ball valves still could be sorted by bronze valves and brass valves.
Basically, ball valves consist of four main parts: body, ball, stem, and seat. Each segment has an important function.
One of the main ball valve parts is its body and it is attached to the pipes in the pipe structure. The body part is the valve’s framework that keeps all parts altogether and keeps the unit safe from external threats and hazards.
This refers to the shaft segment that connects the inner ball to the handle or actuator. It transfers the motion of the actual quarter-turn force from the handle to the hidden ball part.
This is the hollow sphere located in the center of the valve and contains a flow path (also known as hole or tunnel) at its center. It will either allow or stop the media from passing through whenever turned.
This item seats the ball device in the valve, which provides secondary protection from leakage as the valve closes.
Ball valves have their benefits and downsides
Ball valves are cost-effective among all valves since they contain a compact and low-maintenance structure that needs no lubrication. Moreover, they have poor throttling features that can cause the seat of a ball valve to erode quickly.
On the other hand, ball valves have a limited size range. Also, they are not ideal for permanent throttling because once the medium has suspended particles, it can cause abrasion, leakage, wear, and other issues.
There are different types of ball valves, and they are chosen for particular applications based on their qualities. You can select them by their ball movement, type of entry, or body arrangement.
Initially, customers have to choose between two main design options: trunnion and floating ball. Here are the differences between the two:
Trunnion ball valves have additional tools to anchor the ball to a specific spot, serving larger and higher-pressure valve applications. However, they are more pricey than floating ball valves.
Floating ball valves, usually known as float ball valves, use a non-anchored ball that drifts into place or floats slightly downstream into the seat, which provides a tight seal.
You can select ball valves by their type of entry.
Ball valves that assemble their ball from the top side part are called top entry ball valves. These are similar to globe valves with body and bonnet, except the trim part utilizes a ball type. Also, they comprise one single body and are usually made from casting metal.
Side entry ball valves assembled their ball from the side part. They are typically assembled in two or three pieces. Each part of the body is assembled by a bolt or stud, just like joining two pieces of flanges.
You can choose ball valves by their type of body arrangement.
Split body ball valves are well suited for highly abrasive and corrosive fluids. They can be either two-piece or three-piece bodies designed for easy maintenance, thanks to their body structure. Also, split-body ball valves components can be replaced quickly and efficiently.
Rising stem ball valves are mostly the choice of the oil and gas industry for applications requiring a mechanically energized metal or soft seat to prevent losses from process contamination or material leakage. Also, they are ideal for frequent cycling.
Multi-way ball valves are versatile and are used for various purposes. In shipping, for instance, they ensure the seamless switching of alternative fuels. On the other hand, at the production of fine chemicals, they are used within the production lines of the cosmetics or pharmaceutical industry.
