Ball valves have a diverse range of application in industry. They are used in the simple distribution of compressed air through to demanding applications in the oil and gas industry, and are especially suitable for applications with natural gas and aggressive media. Due to their very easy cleaning, ball valves are recommended in industry, above all, for liquid and gaseous media. A distinction is also made based the type of use: The model PBV-FS industrial ball-valve with split valve body is used for pipelines, especially for natural gas applications and applications with aggressive media. The model HPBV ball valve, on the other hand, is suitable for liquid media in high-pressure applications.
