A three-way ball valve is a valve commonly used in piping systems that has three outlets that can be used to control the distribution and flow of fluid. Its internal structure is mainly composed of ball, seat, sealing ring, shaft and handle.
First, the ball: The ball is the core part of the three-way ball valve, usually made of stainless steel, copper alloy, titanium alloy and other materials. There are one or two channels on the sphere, which can be closed or opened corresponding pipes.
Second, the seat: the seat is located in the three outlets of the ball, usually made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other materials. The function of the seat is to seal the fluid and prevent the fluid from leaking.
Sealing ring: The sealing ring is usually located between the ball and the seat to enhance the sealing effect. Commonly used sealing ring materials are rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene.
Axis: The axis is usually connected to the handle and the sphere, which is used to control the rotation of the sphere.
Handle: The handle is used to control the opening or closing of the three-way ball valve components. Usually located at the top of the sphere, it can be rotated 90 or 180 degrees to control the flow of fluid. The above is the main internal structure of the three-way ball valve. Different three-way ball valves may differ slightly in terms of internal structure, but are roughly the same.
