TheElectric Flange Ball Valveis an essential component in industrial control systems, widely used in various applications for its reliability, precision, and ease of automation. This valve type combines the traditional design of a ball valve with an electric actuator, offering an efficient solution for controlling the flow of liquids and gases in pipelines. Whether in oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, or HVAC systems, electric flange ball valves are crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and safety.
What is an Electric Flange Ball Valve?
At its core, an electric flange ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve with a ball that rotates to regulate the flow of media. The flange connection refers to the valve’s ends, which are designed with flange fittings that connect the valve to the piping system using bolts. These flanges ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. What sets an electric flange ball valve apart from its manual counterpart is the integration of an electric actuator, which automatically operates the valve based on input from a control system.
