Full Bore Ball Valves
A full bore ball valve features a ball with an internal diameter equal to the pipeline, providing an unobstructed flow path. This design reduces pressure drop and turbulence, enhancing flow efficiency. It is ideal for high-flow applications in industries like oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing. The valve ensures optimal performance and minimizes energy losses.
Features
- Unobstructed Flow: The internal diameter of the ball matches the pipeline, allowing for a smooth, unrestricted flow of fluids.
- Reduced Pressure Drop: Its design minimizes pressure loss across the valve, enhancing system efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
- Lower Turbulence: The full bore design reduces flow turbulence, which helps in maintaining fluid integrity and minimizing wear.
- Enhanced Durability: The robust construction is ideal for handling high pressures and abrasive fluids, increasing the valve’s service life.
- Efficient Handling of Solids: The large, clear passage allows for easier handling of solids and debris, reducing the risk of blockages and maintenance issues.
