Ball valve manufacturers in Saudi Arabia

Middleeast Valve are trusted Ball valve manufacturers in Saudi Arabia, supplying various industries in Oman, Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, and Jordan. A ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control flow through it. The ball has a hole or port through its center, which when aligned with the valve body inlet and outlet, allows fluid to flow through. When the valve handle is turned 90 degrees, the hole in the ball is perpendicular to the flow openings of the valve body, blocking the flow and shutting off the valve.

Types of Ball Valves:

• Three-piece ball valve  
• Two- piece ball valve
• Fully Welded Ball Valve
• Double Block and Bleed Ball Valve
• Cast Steel and Cast Iron Ball Valve
• Heavy Duty Investment Casting Ball Valve
• Floating Ball Valve
• Trunnion Ball Valve
• Investment Casting Ball Valve
• Top Entry Ball Valve
• Forged Steel Ball Valve
• Jacketed Ball Valve

Can Ball valve regulate pressure?

Ball valves are primarily designed for on/off control rather than pressure regulation. While they can withstand high pressures and provide a tight shut-off when closed, their design typically does not allow for precise pressure regulation. However, there are variations such as pressure-reducing ball valves that have additional features like a pressure-reducing mechanism or a regulator to adjust downstream pressure to a set point. These specialized types of ball valves are used in specific applications where pressure control is necessary alongside flow control. In general, for precise pressure regulation, other types of valves such as globe valves or pressure regulators are more commonly used.

How to choose Ball Valves?

• Choose a ball valve made from materials suitable for your application that can withstand the fluid and environmental conditions (temperature, pressure, corrosiveness).
• Ensure the ball valve is appropriately sized to handle the flow rate of your system and has a pressure rating that exceeds your operating conditions to ensure safety and reliability.
• Consider whether you need a full-port or reduced-port valve based on flow requirements. Full-port valves minimize flow restrictions but are larger and more expensive.
• Select ball valves with end connections (threaded, flanged, welded) compatible with your piping system.
• Evaluate the handle operation (manual, automated, pneumatic, electric) based on your preference for control and automation needs.
• Ensure the ball valve meets relevant industry standards (e.g., ANSI, API, ISO) and certifications (e.g., NSF, UL) if required for your application.

Where are Ball Valves used?

As reliable Ball valve manufacturers in Saudi Arabia, our valves are used in applications like:

• They are extensively used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemical processing, and power generation for controlling the flow of various fluids.
• They are commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems for shut-off and control of industrial systems for controlling flow and isolating components.
• They play a crucial role in process control systems where precise flow control and isolation are required to maintain operational efficiency and safety.
• They are used in municipal water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and water distribution systems for controlling the flow of clean and treated water.
• They are installed in marine and offshore environments due to their durability, reliability, and resistance to corrosion from seawater and harsh conditions.
• They are integral components in fire protection systems, where they are used to control the flow of water or fire retardants in case of fire emergencies.
• In mining operations and construction sites, ball valves are used for controlling water flow, slurry, and other fluids involved in mining processes and construction activities.

Advantages:

• They offer quick operation
• When fully open, ball valves present a full-flow port, minimizing pressure drop across the valve and allowing for efficient flow of fluids.
• They can handle a wide range of fluids.
• They are typically durable and reliable due to their robust construction.
• Their simple design with few moving parts reduces the need for maintenance, making them cost-effective over their operational lifetime.
• They provide a tight seal when closed, preventing leakage.
• They are easy to install and replace.
• These valves are available in various materials which offer excellent resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
• They are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.
