A ball valve is a shut-off valve that allows or obstructs the flow of liquids and gases in a piping system by rotating the ball having a bore inside the valve for 90°. They are widely used in piping systems, can be operated manually or by using an actuator. The ball is mounted against two seats and has a stem that connects it to the operating and control mechanism that rotates the ball. When the cross-section of the bore is perpendicular to the area of the flow, the fluid is not permitted to pass through the valve. Otherwise, the fluid flows out from the valve.
