Ball Control Valve

A ball control valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow of a liquid or gas. It is typically used in applications where precise control of the flow rate is required. The valve consists of a ball, which is connected to a stem and is held in place by a spring. When the valve is opened, the ball is pushed up against the valve seat, allowing the fluid to flow through. When the valve is closed, the ball is pushed down, blocking the flow of the fluid. The amount of flow can be adjusted by adjusting the spring tension, which changes the amount of force required to open or close the valve. Ball control valves are used in a variety of applications, including water treatment, oil and gas production, and industrial process control. They are also used in medical equipment, such as dialysis machines, to control the flow of fluids. Ball control valves are reliable, durable, and easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for many applications.
