Inline Ball Valve
Production Overview
Production OverviewThe Inline Ball Valve from Vcore Valves is designed to provide precise flow control in pipeline systems with minimal pressure drop. Unlike traditional ball valves, the inline design allows for direct flow through the valve, making it ideal for applications that require high flow efficiency and low resistance. The valve is designed for use in water, oil, gas, and chemical industries, offering a reliable, long-lasting solution for fluid and gas flow regulation.

Function
FunctionThe Inline Ball Valve operates by utilizing a rotating ball with a port that allows fluid to flow through when the valve is in the open position. The ball valve is rotated by an actuator (manual, pneumatic, or electric), and when the valve is closed, the ball blocks the flow of fluid, providing a tight seal.
The inline design eliminates flow disruptions, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted fluid flow with minimal pressure drop. The valve is ideal for use in systems where the goal is to provide maximum flow capacity while reducing energy consumption and maintaining fluid integrity. Its reliable sealing ensures tight control over the flow of fluids, preventing leakage even under high-pressure conditions.
Manufactured from stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel, the Inline Ball Valve offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable operation even under demanding conditions. The ball valve design guarantees tight sealing, minimal leakage, and efficient flow control with a simple 90° turn, ensuring seamless integration into any pipeline system.
