Forged Three-Way Ball Valve

Structural Features of L-Pattern Three-Way Ball Valve

• L-Shaped Flow Passage: The internal ball features an L-shaped bore, enabling the connection of the central port to either of the two side ports.
• Flow Diversion: Designed primarily for diverting flow between two different outlets without mixing streams, allowing for straightforward switching between flow paths.
• Two-Position Operation: Typically operates with a 90-degree (quarter-turn) rotation, providing two distinct flow paths: connecting the center port to one side port or the other.

Structural Features of T-Pattern Three-Way Ball Valve

• Multi-Directional Flow Paths: The T-pattern design enables fluid flow to be directed in multiple configurations, such as:
  • Straight-line flow through two opposite ports.
  • Diverted flow from one inlet to another outlet port.
  • Mixed flow paths combining inputs or outputs.
• Three-Port Design: The valve features three interconnected ports, allowing for simultaneous control of flow distribution or isolation in pipelines.
• Internal T-Shaped Passage: The internal ball contains a T-shaped bore, which aligns with different ports depending on the handle or actuator position, enabling flexible flow control.
• Flow Control Versatility: Can function as a diverter to split flow into two separate paths or as a mixer to combine flows into one stream.
