Ball valves are used to cut off the flow of the medium in water, steam, oily liquids, solvents, acids, salt solutions and others. They are used in many industries such as heating, chemistry, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food industry and others.
The use of the valve in a specific industry is due to the type of material used to make it, i.e. acid-resistant steel or carbon structural steel. Stainless steel valves are used to transfer some organic and inorganic acids, natural water, including sea water, drinking water, alkaline solutions, salt solutions, all food products and other aggressive substances. Structural carbon steel valves are used to transfer industrial water, steam, water-steam mixtures and other non-aggressive substances.
