What is a Stainless Steel Flanged Ball Valve? Complete Technical Overview and Practical Applications Guide for Industrial Use
2025-08-28
Stainless Steel Flanged Ball Valve is a commonly used industrial valve. Its closure element (the ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the pipeline as well as fluid control. In addition to simple on/off functions, stainless steel flanged ball valves can also be used for fluid regulation. In particular, hard-sealed V-port ball valves, relying on the strong shearing force between the V-shaped ball core and the hard alloy-welded seat, are especially suitable for media containing fibers or fine solid particles.
