Soft-Sealed Balls

Soft-Sealed Balls

Soft-sealed valve balls form a sealing surface by coating or inlaying elastic sealing materials such as PTFE, RPTFE, NBR, and PEEK on the surface of the ball. They rely on the deformation of elastic materials to compensate for machining errors and medium pressure, and possess excellent zero-leakage sealing performance and low operating torque characteristics.

Basic Introduction

Soft-sealed valve balls form a sealing surface by coating or inlaying elastic sealing materials such as PTFE, RPTFE, NBR, and PEEK on the surface of the ball. They rely on the deformation of elastic materials to compensate for machining errors and medium pressure, and possess excellent zero-leakage sealing performance and low operating torque characteristics. Their elastic sealing structure can effectively buffer the impact of the medium, has a certain tolerance for tiny particulate impurities, is suitable for the transportation of clean fluids and weakly corrosive media, as well as on-off conditions requiring zero leakage, and is a commonly used valve ball component for switch control in water supply and drainage, HVAC, food and medicine, and general industrial pipelines.

FAQ

What are the commonly used sealing materials for soft-sealed valve balls?

Commonly used elastic sealing materials include PTFE, RPTFE, NBR, PEEK, etc.

What is the most core advantage of the soft-sealed valve ball?

The core advantage is zero-leakage sealing performance, while also featuring low operating torque.

Can soft-sealed valve balls be used in media with particulate impurities?

It has a certain tolerance for fine particulate impurities, but is not recommended for use in media containing a large amount of hard particles.

In which industries are soft-sealed valve balls mainly used?

Mainly used for on-off control of water supply and drainage, HVAC, food and pharmaceutical, and general industrial pipelines.

What is the sealing principle of the soft-sealed valve ball?

The deformation of the elastic sealing material compensates for machining errors, and in combination with the medium pressure, achieves reliable sealing.
