Ball Valve

Ball Valve Supplier in Dubai UAE Valves builds quarter turn valves for tight shutoff and dependable isolation, from utility lines to pipeline service. A precision machined ball rotates on its stem to open or block the flow path. With simple operation, low pressure loss, and easy automation, ball valves are often the first choice for on off duty and can be configured for severe temperatures, pressures, and media.

How Ball Valves Work

A spherical ball with a through bore sits inside the body. Rotate the stem ninety degrees and the bore aligns with the pipeline for full flow; turn it across the line and the flow is shut off. Floating designs rely on downstream seat load to seal. Trunnion designs support the ball on bearings and use independent spring loaded seats for lower operating torque and reliable sealing at higher pressures.

Ball Valve Benefits

• Tight shutoff with quick quarter turn operation
• Full bore options that minimize pressure drop and allow pigging
• Fire safe and antistatic provisions available for safety and compliance
• ISO 5211 mounting that simplifies electric or pneumatic actuation
• Seat and coating choices matched to temperature, pressure, and media

Types of Ball Valves

• Trunnion Ball Valve: supported ball with spring loaded seats for high pressure and large sizes
• Double Block and Bleed Ball Valve (DBB): two seating barriers with a bleed port for positive isolation and verification
• Fully Welded Ball Valve: welded body for buried lines and low leak pipeline service
• Jacketed Ball Valve: heating jacket maintains product temperature and prevents solidification
• Top Entry Ball Valve: bonnet access for in line maintenance of ball, seats, and stem
• Forged Steel Ball Valve: compact, robust build for high pressure small bore duties
• Cast Iron and Cast Steel Ball Valve: economical block valves for general utility and water service
• Floating Ball Valve: seat loaded sealing for medium pressures and broad applications
• Investment Casting Ball Valve: precision cast small bore valves for utilities and instrumentation
