Arvind Pipes is one of the largest ball valve manufacturer in India. Ball valves are widely used mechanical devices designed to control the flow of liquids or gases through a pipe by using a rotating ball with a hole (called a bore) in the middle. When the valve handle is turned, the ball rotates to either allow or block flow, depending on the position of the hole. Ball valves are known for their simple operation, quick shut-off capability, and excellent sealing properties—even after long periods of disuse.
As a trusted ball valve supplier in India, we offer valves that provide minimal pressure drop when fully open and a tight seal when closed, making them suitable for both on/off and limited throttling applications. Available in various materials such as brass, stainless steel, and PVC, ball valves can be manually operated or automated using electric or pneumatic actuators, offering versatility across a wide range of industries and systems.
Type of Sub-products
Floating Ball Valve
Floating ball valves feature a ball that is suspended in the flow and held in place by two elastomeric seats. When pressure is applied, the ball moves slightly to press against the downstream seat, creating a tight seal. These valves are ideal for low- to medium-pressure applications where tight shutoff is essential.
Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve
Trunnion mounted ball valves have a fixed ball supported by bearings at the top and bottom, making them suitable for high-pressure systems. The design reduces the operating torque, allowing for smaller actuators and easier operation. These valves offer enhanced sealing performance and long-term reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what applications are ball valves commonly used?
Ball valves are widely used in oil and gas, water supply, chemical processing, HVAC systems, and manufacturing due to their reliable performance in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Can ball valves be used for throttling or flow regulation?
While ball valves can be partially opened to regulate flow, they are not ideal for precise throttling. Prolonged use in a partially open state can cause wear and reduce sealing performance.
How do I know if a ball valve is open or closed?
Most ball valves have a handle that aligns with the pipe when open and is perpendicular to the pipe when closed. This visual indication makes it easy to check valve status at a glance.
