Delta Centrifugal® manufactures high-quality ball valve components engineered for durability and precise operation. Ball valves are critical in controlling fluid flow in various industrial applications, and the components of a ball valve must be crafted with exceptional precision to ensure long-term reliability and optimal performance.
What Are Ball Valve Components?
Ball valves function through a spherical disc—the “rotary ball”—which regulates the flow of liquids or gases by aligning or misaligning a port in the ball with the flow path. The key components of a ball valve include:
1. Valve Body: The primary structure housing all internal components, the valve body must be robust and corrosion-resistant to protect the valve’s integrity.
2. Handle & Stem: Used to manually operate the valve, the handle connects to the stem and rotates the rotary ball. It’s vital for the handle to be durable and ergonomically designed for ease of use.
6. Rotary Ball: The core of the ball valve features a hole (port) that aligns with the flow when open. The ball must be perfectly smooth and round for efficient operation.
9. Seats: The seats provide a sealing surface between the rotary ball and the valve body, preventing leaks when the valve is closed. These must be made from materials that resist wear and corrosion.
Why Choose Delta Centrifugal® for Your Ball Valve Components?
In ball valves the star of the show is the ball and seats. They are the point at which the highest pressure is exerted in the valve. The slightest damage to either of these components critical surfaces and you no longer have a working valve. Delta has been making both machined per print and blanks for balls and seats since its inception more than 50 years ago. We also have extensive experience in making large valve bodies, bonnets and flanges with unmatched quality and precision. Our advanced centrifugal casting process ensures that every part, from the valve body to the ball itself, is manufactured to meet the highest standards. This attention to detail and quality control makes sure that our components can withstand high pressure under the most demanding industrial environments.
Whether your project requires 300 series, or custom nickel base alloy for extreme sour service, Delta Centrifugal® is equipped to meet your specifications. Our expertise and commitment to excellence mean we are prepared to handle all your manufacturing needs.
