    Pneumatic ball valves are essential components in various industrial processes, playing a critical role in the control and regulation of fluid flow. These valves utilize compressed air to operate and offer several advantages, including speed, efficiency, and ease of automation. In this article, we will explore the functionality, applications, and benefits of pneumatic ball valves.

    Functionality of Pneumatic Ball Valves

Pneumatic ball valve

    A pneumatic ball valve consists of a hollow, perforated sphere (the ball) that pivots within a valve body. This ball is designed with a hole that allows fluid to pass through when aligned with the flow direction. Conversely, when the ball is rotated 90 degrees, the hole is perpendicular to the flow path, effectively sealing off the flow. The operation of the valve is controlled by pneumatic actuators that use compressed air to rotate the ball.
