BALL VALVE HIGH PRESSURE (BVHP)

A high pressure ball valve is a type of valve designed to control the flow of fluids or gases in systems that operate at high pressures. It uses a ball with a hole (or port) through the center to regulate flow. When the valve is fully open, the port is aligned with the pipe for unrestricted flow, and when closed, the ball blocks the flow path.

High pressure ball valves can handle a wide range of pressures, from 1,000 psi to 20,000 psi or higher, depending on the specific model. It’s important to choose the right pressure rating to match your system’s requirements.

High pressure ball valves work by rotating a ball inside the valve body. The ball has a hole through its center that, when aligned with the pipe, allows flow. When the valve handle is turned, the ball rotates, blocking or allowing the flow of fluid or gas. The design of the ball valve ensures a tight seal, minimizing leakage even under high-pressure conditions.

The lifespan of a high pressure ball valve depends on factors such as the pressure and temperature it is exposed to, the material used, and the conditions of operation. Generally, high-quality ball valves can last 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance.

High pressure ball valves are designed with a smooth flow path through the ball, minimizing pressure drop and ensuring efficient flow even in high-flow applications. Their full-port design offers maximum flow capacity, making them ideal for systems with high fluid or gas volumes under pressure.
