The Full form of PP ball valves is polypropylene ball valves. They are used in a variety of industrial applications. They are very well suited to use in corrosive environments due to their chemical resistance and also have the ability to withstand high temperatures.
What is a PP Ball Valve?
PP ball valve is a type of valve that uses a ball to control fluid flow. That ball has a hole in the middle that allows the fluid to flow through the valve. When the valve closes that ball rotates so the hole is no longer aligned with the flow path, blocking the fluid flow.
PP ball valve is made up of polypropylene, it is a thermoplastic polymer also known for its chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, and durability.
Features of PP Ball Valve:
- Full port design: internal diameter of the valve is the same as the pipe it is connected to.
- Easy to operate: PP ball valves are easy to operate, with a quarter turn handle that rotates the ball inside the valve body.
- Corrosion resistant: Polypropylene is highly resistant to chemical corrosion.
- Lightweight: PP ball valves are lightweight, which makes them easy to install and handle.
Applications of PP Ball Valve:
- Chemical Processing: PP ball valve is commonly used in chemical processing plants.
- Water Treatment: PP ball valve is used in water treatment facilities.
- Food Processing: PP ball valve is used in the food processing industry.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: PP ball valves are used in the pharmaceutical industry to control chemical flow.
