The three-way ball valve is divided into L-type Q44F and T-type Q45F. L-shaped three-way ball valves are suitable for switching the flow direction of media, and can connect two perpendicular channels. T-shaped three-way ball valves are suitable for separating, merging, or switching the flow direction of media. T-shaped ports can connect the three channels to each other or connect two of them. Generally, three-way ball valves use a two seat structure, or a four seat structure according to user requirements. So, what are the characteristics of three-way ball valves that everyone knows?

The characteristics of three-way ball valves are as follows:

1. Low fluid resistance, with almost no flow resistance for full bore ball valves.

2. Simple structure, small size, and light weight.

3. Tight and reliable. It has two sealing surfaces, and currently the sealing surface materials of ball valves are widely used with various plastics, which have good sealing performance and can achieve sealing. It has also been widely used in vacuum systems.

4. Convenient operation, quick opening and closing, with only 90 ° rotation from full opening to full closing, facilitating remote control.

5. Convenient maintenance, simple ball valve structure, and generally movable sealing rings make disassembly and replacement more convenient.

6. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and valve seat are isolated from the medium, and when the medium passes through, it will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface.

7. Due to the wiping nature of ball valves during opening and closing, they can be used in media with suspended solid particles.

8. It has a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.

Three way ball valves are widely used in fields such as chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, papermaking, mining, power, liquefied gas, food, pharmaceutical, water supply and drainage, municipal, mechanical equipment supporting, electronic industry, urban construction, etc. The characteristics of three-way ball valves are mainly introduced above, and we all need to have a clear understanding of the characteristics of our three-way ball valves.
