What is the difference between a ball valve and an angle valve?
Release time:
2025-03-12
Ball valves and angle valves have significant differences in design and function. Ball valves consist of a valve body, a perforated sphere, and a rotating mechanism. The diameter of the hole in the sphere matches the pipe, and fluid flow is controlled by rotating the sphere to align the hole with the flow line. Angle valves, on the other hand, are L-shaped and control fluid flow by rotating a handwheel to adjust the valve flap position.
Ball valves and angle valves also have different application scenarios. Due to their quick-opening and closing characteristics, ball valves are typically used where rapid fluid shutoff is required, such as in main valves and main pipelines. They are suitable for industrial piping systems with high flow rate and pressure requirements, and perform exceptionally well in high-rise residential buildings with unstable water pressure. Angle valves are often used in household and industrial water supply systems, HVAC systems, and situations requiring precise flow control, such as kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, and toilets.
In terms of selection and maintenance, ball valves and angle valves also have their own considerations. Ball valves have a simple structure and are easy to maintain, making them suitable for applications requiring high flow rates and quick on/off switching. While angle valves have a relatively more complex structure, they perform better where precise flow control is needed. When purchasing, it is recommended to choose the appropriate valve type based on specific needs and to purchase from a legitimate channel to ensure quality and After-sale Service.
