Application of Ball Valve in Aerospace Industry

Jun 11, 2020 / Category: Industry News
Ball valves are used in various industries and the aerospace industry is no exception. Ball valves are usually used in turbines for this particular industry.

In this application, the ball valve is used to ensure the maximum efficiency output of the turbine by creating a bubble-tight seal while also being able to withstand high pressure and high temperature.

In addition to this common and popular ball valve application, the ball valve is frequently used in the entire structure of many aircraft, such as airplanes and helicopters, as well as other kinds of aerospace equipment.

Ball valves find favour in customers' eyes in this industry because of their high reliability and efficiency. In an industry where reliability and efficiency are extremely significant, ball valves are different from the rest.

Due to the nature of industry, aerospace demands the best out of every component used. Therefore, it is greatly important that every piece of equipment used should be reliable and efficient. Considering ball valves, there are lots of merits that make them an ideal choice for the aerospace industry:

Strength and durability – Ball valves are manufactured in a way so that they can withstand extraordinarily high temperatures, high pressures and high volumes of flow, which means that they are ideal components for high-pressure environment (e.g. the interior of jet turbines). By virtue of their characteristics and frequent use in some applications, ball valves have an unbelievably long life.

Cost-effectiveness – Like any industry, cost-effectiveness is of great significance in the aerospace industry, meaning that the affordability of ball valves makes them the first choice for such applications.

Easy maintenance – As with other industries, maintenance in the aerospace industry is not always cheap or simple. This is why the simplicity of maintaining ball valves gives them more advantages over other components that can be used in such applications. The installation and maintenance of ball valves are quick and easy.
