Ball Valve Types  Types of Ball Valves

Several types of ball valve balls can be classified based on their shape size material and other characteristics 

Some common types of ball valve balls include

Full port ball A full port ball has a diameter the same size as the inside diameter of the valve body allowing for a maximum flow rate through the valve

Reduced port ball A reduced port ball has a smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the valve body which reduces the flow rate through the valve

Trunnion ball A trunnion ball is mounted on trunnions or pivot points which allows it to rotate and seal against the valve body more effectively Trunnion balls are often used in highpressure or hightemperature applications

Lport ball An Lport ball has a port or opening in the shape of the letter L which allows for a flow pattern different from a standard ball valve Lport balls are often used in diverting or mixing applications

Floating ball A floating ball is not attached to a stem or handle and can move within the valve body Floating balls are often used in highpressure or hightemperature applications requiring a tight seal
