As a professional China ball valve manufacturer, Yuanjd Valve specializes in the design, production, and supply of high-performance ball valves for a wide range of industrial applications. Our ball valves are engineered to provide reliable on/off flow control with quarter-turn operation, bubble-tight sealing, and exceptional durability—making them one of the most widely adopted fluid shut-off valves across global industries.
Ball valves use a spherical ball with a bore through its center to control flow. When open, the bore aligns with the pipeline; when closed, the solid part of the ball blocks flow. This simple yet robust design offers quick 90-degree operation—far faster than multi-turn gate valves—and delivers tight sealing with minimal leakage. Ball valves are also compact, require no lubrication, and maintain consistent performance even after many use cycles.
Manufactured in strict accordance with API 6D (pipeline valves for oil and gas), ISO 17292 (metallic ball valves for industrial applications), and API 608 (flanged ball valves), our products are available in sizes from NPS 1/2″ to 48″+ (DN15 to DN1200+) with pressure ratings from Class 150 to Class 2500.
We offer multiple ball valve configurations to suit diverse system requirements:
Floating Ball Valve – The ball is suspended and pressed against the seat by fluid pressure. Ideal for low to medium pressure applications.
Trunnion Ball Valve – The ball is anchored at the top and bottom, suitable for high-pressure environments.
Full Port (Full Bore) – Bore diameter matches the pipeline, minimizing pressure drop.
Multi-Port Valve – 3-way or 4-way configurations for complex piping systems.

| Feature | Ball Valve | Gate Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Operating motion | Quarter-turn (90° rotation) | Linear (multi-turn handwheel) |
| Actuation speed | Fast (90° rotation) | Slow (many handwheel turns) |
| Shut-off | Soft seat: Class VI (bubble-tight) | Metal-to-metal (Class IV-V) |
| Pressure drop (open) | Very low (full bore) | Very low |
| Maintenance | In-line repair possible | Requires removal from line |
| Weight (10″ Class 150) | ~90 kg | ~120 kg |
Ball valves offer rapid shut-off and opening with a quarter-turn handle—far faster than gate valves, which require multiple turns. With fewer moving parts, they are easier to service and more reliable for high-cycle applications. For zero-leakage requirements in gas service and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, ball valves are the standard choice.
Ball valves are indispensable across multiple industrial sectors:
Oil & Gas – Upstream wellhead isolation, midstream pipeline pigging stations, downstream refinery high-pressure/high-temperature process units
Chemical & Petrochemical – Handling aggressive fluids, acids, alkalis, and solvents
Power Generation – Steam systems, cooling water, thermal power
Water & Wastewater Treatment – Potable water, sewage systems
Pharmaceutical & Food – Sanitary applications, product fillings
LNG & Cryogenic – Extreme low-temperature services
At Yuanjd Valve, we combine decades of manufacturing expertise with advanced production facilities and rigorous quality control systems.
