1. Pressure Rating
Select a suitable ball valve based on the system's pressure rating. The valve's pressure rating must match the operating pressure of the piping system to ensure reliability and safety.
2. Medium Type
Select a suitable ball valve based on the type of medium. Different media-such as acidic or alkaline substances, corrosive fluids, or high-temperature fluids-impose specific requirements on valve materials and sealing components; therefore, appropriate materials must be chosen accordingly.
3. Temperature Range
Select a suitable ball valve based on the temperature range. For high- or low-temperature applications, the valve's materials and seals must possess the necessary temperature resistance to ensure proper operation and sealing performance.
4. Fluid Flow Direction
Fluid flow direction is another important factor in ball valve selection. Choose a valve structure suited to the flow direction to ensure effective fluid control.
5. Valve Size
Select a suitable ball valve based on pipe size. The valve size should match the pipe's inner diameter to ensure unobstructed flow and effective flow rate control.
