PEX-B ball valve performance analysis

2024-07-26

1. Material properties
PEX-B ball valves usually use PEX-B pipes as valve body materials. PEX-B pipes are made through ion cross-linking process, with high hardness and strength, relatively low cost, easy to process and install. This makes PEX-B ball valves economical and practical while maintaining structural stability.

2. Sealing performance
The sealing performance of PEX-B ball valves is one of its core performances. The valve seat seal is usually made of plastic. Under a certain contact pressure, elastic-plastic deformation will occur in local areas, thereby compensating for the manufacturing accuracy and surface roughness of the ball body and ensuring the sealing performance of the ball valve. This sealing mechanism enables the PEX-B ball valve to effectively prevent medium leakage in the closed state and ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system.

3. Operational performance
The operating performance of PEX-B ball valves is excellent, mainly reflected in small opening and closing torque and easy operation. The opening and closing action of the ball valve usually only needs to rotate 1/4 turn (90°) to complete. This fast opening and closing feature makes the PEX-B ball valve perform well in occasions that require frequent operation. At the same time, due to its small opening and closing torque, it also reduces the physical requirements for operators and improves work efficiency.

4. Durability and reliability
PEX-B ball valve has high durability and reliability. Its valve body material PEX-B has high hardness and strength, and can resist certain mechanical shocks and pressure fluctuations. In addition, the sealing ring of the ball valve is usually made of aging-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments. These characteristics enable the PEX-B ball valve to maintain stable sealing and operating performance during long-term use, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

5. Applicability
PEX-B ball valves are widely used in household water supply pipes, HVAC systems, and occasions that require fast opening and closing and strict sealing performance. Its excellent operating performance and sealing performance make PEX-B ball valves widely used and recognized in these fields.

7. Installation and maintenance
The installation and maintenance of PEX-B ball valves are relatively simple. Its valve body material matches the PEX pipeline system, and the connection is convenient and reliable. In terms of maintenance, the maintenance workload is relatively small due to the relatively simple structure of the ball valve and stable sealing performance. However, during the maintenance process, attention should still be paid to the inspection and replacement of wearing parts such as sealing rings to ensure the normal operation of the ball valve.
