Steel ball valves

Industrial steel ball valves - a key element of the installation

Industrial steel ball valves are fundamental components of modern flow systems.   They are used in many industries. They provide precise control of the flow of media. Their reliability is crucial for the safety of the installation. At Onninen we offer a wide range of these products. We provide solutions for various applications.

Our customers often ask about selecting the right valves. The choice depends on many factors. The type of medium, operating temperature and pressure must be taken into account. The requirements for tightness and durability are also important. In our offer you will find products from renowned brands. We recommend valves from Vexve, Zetkama and Danfoss.

Types of Industrial Steel Ball Valves

In practice, we encounter different types of these devices.   Steam ball valves are suitable for use in steam installations.   They withstand high temperatures and pressures. Ball valves for water up to 200°C are used in heating systems. They provide reliable operation in demanding conditions. For gas installations, we recommend special ball valves for gas.

Balancing ball valves are also often used. They enable precise flow regulation. In the case of welded installations, weld-in ball valves are suitable. They provide a durable and tight connection. For flanged systems, we offer flanged ball valves.

• Full bore ball valves - provide minimal flow resistance
• Hot tap ball valves - allow for assembly without stopping the installation
• Threaded ball valves - easy to install and universal
• Reduced bore ball valves - for flow regulation

Selection criteria for industrial steel ball valves

Selecting the right valve requires taking into account many parameters.   The key is to determine the working medium. Different valves are used for water, steam or gases. The maximum working temperature is also important. For high temperatures, we recommend special designs. Working pressure is another key parameter.

In our daily practice, we see how important durability is. Valves must withstand thousands of opening and closing cycles. That is why we focus on products from proven brands. They provide long-term and failure-free operation. We also take into account tightness requirements. In some applications, complete shut-off of flow is crucial.

We know from experience that ease of installation is also important. That is why we offer different types of connections. Threaded valves work well in simple installations. For welded pipelines, we recommend models for welding. In flanged systems, flanged valves work best.

1. Define the working medium and its parameters
2. Set the maximum operating temperature and pressure
3. Choose the right body and seal material
4. Select the type of connection that suits your installation
5. Consider flow control requirements

Practical applications of industrial steel ball valves

In our daily work we encounter a variety of applications for these products.   We recently completed a project for a large chemical plant. The client needed valves resistant to aggressive media. We used special ball valves made of acid-resistant steel. They ensured failure-free operation in difficult conditions.

Another example is the modernization of the heating system in a factory. It was necessary to use valves for working with hot water. We chose ball valves for water up to 200°C. They proved to be excellent, providing precise regulation. In the case of gas networks, we often use ball valves for gas. They guarantee safety and reliability.

Many companies ask us about solutions for new installations. In such cases, we recommend weld-in ball valves. They provide a durable and tight connection. For existing systems, we often choose flanged valves. They allow easy installation without rebuilding the installation.

Our experience shows that versatility is key. That is why we also offer threaded valves. They work well in a variety of applications. For demanding applications, we recommend full-bore valves. They provide minimal flow resistance.

In summary, industrial steel ball valves are essential elements of modern installations.   At Onninen we offer a wide selection of these products. We provide expert advice in selecting the optimal solutions. We invite you to contact our specialists. We will help you choose the valves that are ideally suited to your needs.
