Full Bore Ball Valve: Wear-Resistant and Corrosion-Resistant, Low Fluid Resistance

Introduction to Ball Valves


Ball valves are currently one of the most widely used mechanical products in all valve markets. They are mainly composed of a valve body, valve seat, ball, valve stem, and transmission device, and achieve the function of opening/closing or regulating by driving the ball through the actuator. Ball valves are widely used in industries such as chemicals, environmental protection, water treatment, urban construction, machinery, and food, among others.


There are many types of ball valves, which can be classified in various ways. From the perspective of flow diameter, they are divided into full bore ball valves and reduced bore ball valves. Generally speaking, when the bore diameter of the ball valve is less than or equal to 85% of the diameter of the ball valve port, it is called a reduced bore ball valve. When the bore diameter of the ball valve is greater than 95% of the diameter of the ball valve port, it is called a full bore ball valve.


Introduction to Full Bore Ball Valves


Full bore ball valves have an equal width passageway, meaning the size of the passageway from the inlet to the outlet is the same. Its size cannot be smaller than the value specified by the standard, which is approximately equivalent to the nominal diameter of the specification.


Full bore ball valves are used in pipelines transporting viscous media or media that tend to scale because they have low fluid resistance, essentially no flow resistance, and can conveniently allow periodic passage of wax scrapers or cleaners.


The medium passing through the full bore ball valve does not reduce the flow rate, and with low flow resistance, the full bore ball valve is an ideal product for pipeline control, especially for applications requiring strict conditions.


Especially when the main pipelines in oil and gas transmission lines need to be buried underground, full bore ball valves must be used.


Introduction to Zhaoqiang's Full Bore Ball Valves


Zhaoqiang's full bore ball valve is a special type of valve with excellent wear and corrosion resistance performance, designed to achieve optimal performance in harsh environments with high wear and strong corrosion.


Zhaoqiang's full bore ball valves are particularly suitable for industries such as mining, chemical processing, oil and natural gas, and water treatment. This is because the flow of corrosive fluids in these industries can quickly damage standard valves.


The dimensions of the ball valve's external shape vary depending on the pressure rating and nominal diameter. For example, the common nominal diameter of 15 millimeters for a full bore ball valve typically has a length of around 130 millimeters.


Therefore, Zhaoqiang offers customers full bore fixed wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant ball valves and 15-millimeter full bore lever ball valves, both of which have different uses in their respective industries, allowing you to choose with confidence.
