What is Monoblock Ball Valve?

Monoblock ball valve is a type of valve consisting of a single body with a ball inside that can rotate to open or close the valve. The ball is typically made of metal, such as stainless steel, and is held in place by a rod that runs along the valve body. The handle is attached to a handle or lever that allows the user to rotate the ball to open or close the valve. By turning the handle on the valve, it manually opens/closes the port that controls the pressure from the flow of fluid. Durability and excellent shut-off are features that make the ball valve advantageous over other valve types.

Where is Monoblock Ball Valve Used?

Monoblock ball valves are widely used in a variety of applications, including water treatment plants, chemical processing plants, and oil and gas pipelines. They are generally preferred because of their simplicity, ease of use and reliability. They are also relatively easy to repair and maintain, making them a popular choice for many industrial and commercial applications.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Monoblock Ball Valves?

Advantages

Fast on-off operation
Low torque tight sealing
Smaller in size than most other valves

Disadvantages

Conventional Ball valves have poor throttling properties.
In slurry or other applications, suspended particles can settle, become trapped in body cavities and cause wear, leaks, or valve failure.
