Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve equipment, in particular to a two-piece forged steel ball valve. Background technology:

[0002] A ball valve is a valve whose opening and closing parts (ball valve core) are driven by a valve stem and rotate around the axis of the ball valve. It is installed on a pipeline and is used to open and close fluid media. It is widely used in water treatment, petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. Currently, the valve core of a ball valve is usually made of metal and the valve seat is made of plastic. During the opening and closing process of the valve core, the friction between the valve core and the valve seat will generate static electricity. In addition, the valve body of a ball valve is usually a casting with poor pressure resistance. When a ball valve is used on a pipeline that transports high-pressure flammable fluid media, there is not only a risk of fire caused by static electricity in the flammable media, but also a risk of medium leakage due to valve body damage due to long-term operation under high pressure.
