Brass Ball Valve

The brass ball valve is a cut-off valve with a sphere as a switching element. Advantages of corrosion resistance, high strength, and wear resistance, widely used in various industrial equipment. Let’s take a look at the manufacturing process and material advantages of brass ball valves.IFAN Facebook Website:www.facebook.com，IFAN factory has 30+ years manufacture experience supporting color /size customization support Free Samples.

1. Manufacturing process

Production process steps：

Step 1:

material preparation. The production of brass ball valves requires brass materials, whose main components are copper and zinc, of which more than 70% copper is contained.

Step 2:

processing the sphere. By turning, boring, milling, processing wire, etc., made into a spherical shape. This process needs to rely on sophisticated machinery to complete.

Step 3:

Install the spool. Assemble the handle and spool onto the ball. The spool is mainly used to control the opening and closing of the valve.

Step 4:

Install the sealing device. Install a sealing ring around the ball to ensure the tightness of the valve.

Step 5:

Install the flange. The ball is attached to the flange to facilitate the connection and installation of the pipeline.

2. Material advantages

The material selection of the brass ball valve is very important to the service life and safety of the valve. Brass has good electrical and thermal conductivity, widely used in electronic equipment and heating equipment. The material advantages of brass ball valves are as follows:

(1) Strong corrosion resistance:

Zinc in brass can increase the corrosion resistance of the material, making it have good corrosion resistance.

(2) High strength:

Brass has high hardness, not easily deformed during machining and assembly.

(3) Wear resistance:

The material brass is very hard and has good wear resistance. Advantage of brass ball valves used in high-friction environments.

(4) Good thermal conductivity:

Brass is an excellent thermal conductive material with a good heat dissipation effect, which can effectively prevent the valve from being damaged due to overheating during use.

3. Installation method

(1) Pipeline installation:

When connecting the brass ball valve with the pipeline, the appropriate pipeline selectes according to the flange connection size of the valve. Avoid mismatching of valves and pipes.

(2) Rotation direction of the ball:

Pay attention to check the rotation direction of the ball valve during installation, and place the steel wire rope or anti-vibration pad on the jaws to prevent vibration or damage to the pipeline when the valve rotates.

(3) Precautions for operation:

When using brass ball valves, pay attention to the opening and closing positions of the valve, and adjust and replace them as needed. Keep clean during use, granulation and impurities may affect the normal operation of the valve.
