What Are The Two Most Commonly Used Ball Valves in Piping Systems?

In piping systems, V-ball valve and three-pass ball valve are two common ball valve types with special functions. Here are the details:
V-ball valve
Structural features: The spherical core has a V-shaped groove and the valve seat consists of a metal seat covered with soft material (e.g. PTFE or rubber) or hard alloy.
Functional Advantages:
Flow regulation: By rotating the sphere, the channel area between the V-groove and the valve seat is changed to achieve accurate flow regulation. Its flow characteristics are about the same, the adjustment ratio can reach 100:1, the adjustment performance is better than ordinary ball valves.
Shear action: V-shaped incisions and seats create shearing forces that cut fibers, particles or suspended solids in the medium to prevent blockage. Suitable for medium containing solid particles (such as pulp, sewage, chemical slurry, etc.).
Sealing Performance: Soft valve seats seal reliable, metal seat suitable for high temperature and pressure.
Application Scenarios:
Paper industry: regulating pulp flow.
Chemical industry: control corrosive slurry.
Sewage Treatment: conveys liquid containing suspended solids.
Three-way ball valve
Structural characteristics: Features three channels, the core of T-type and L-type structure.
Functional advantages:
Diversion and fusion: T-ball valve can be connected to three orthogonal pipes to achieve flow diversion or fusion, L-ball valve connected to two orthogonal pipes, only play the role of allocation.
Application scenarios:
