A socket weld is a recessed area of the ball valve where a pipe is inserted. Socket weld ball valves are made of steel for applications involving higher pressure and higher temperatures that do not need disassembling. Socket weld ball valves are good in that they ensure leakage-proof connections that span for a long period. Socket weld ball valves have the welded end formed with a socket shape. The socket end of the valve is inserted into the pipe and then welded into the socket weld ball valve. Socket weld ball valves are used for small pipe diameters of around 2 inches or smaller. Socket weld ball valves are important in cases where high structural strength and leakage integrity are paramount design considerations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2808 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sinovalveco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1.jpg\" alt=\"Socket weld ball valve\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image001-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Figure: Socket weld ball valve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Components_of_socket_weld_ball_valves\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Components of socket weld ball valves\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Valve_body\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>\u062c\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0645\u0627\u0645\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The valve body is the main component of a socket weld ball valve which houses all the internal components of the valve.

The ball is connected to the valve stem and handle. Fluid flow in a socket weld ball valve flows through the bore in the ball. To start the socket weld ball valve, the handle is turned for a quarter turn equivalent to 90<sup>o<\/sup>. Since the handle in a socket weld ball valve is connected to the ball through the stem, rotation of the handle at 90<sup>o<\/sup> rotates the stem and ball for the same 90<sup>o<\/sup>. As such, the rotating ball bore becomes collinear with the pipeline such that the fluid can flow through the piping system through the socket weld ball valve. In this case, the socket weld ball valve is said to be in an open state. To turn off the socket weld ball valve, the handle is rotated in opposite direction for another 90<sup>o<\/sup>. This makes the stem and ball on the socket weld ball valve make a quarter-turn of 90<sup>o<\/sup>. When the ball makes this quarter-turn angle, it makes the ball bore perpendicular to the pipe with fluid thus blocking fluid flow. Thus the socket weld ball valve is said to be in a closed state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2809 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sinovalveco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image003-1.jpg\" alt=\"Working of a socket weld ball valve\" width=\"709\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image003-1.jpg 1430w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image003-1-600x254.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image003-1-768x325.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Figure: Working of a socket weld ball valve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_socket_weld_ball_valve\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Types of socket weld ball valve?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"V-port_socket_weld_ball_valve\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>V-port socket weld ball valve\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is a socket weld ball valve with a V-shaped bore in the valve ball.

The three pieces of a socket weld ball valve are held together using bolts and nuts. The socket ends of the socket weld ball valve are welded to the pipeline. A three-piece socket weld ball valve makes it possible to easily remove the center parts of the valve that is ball stem and seats from the pipeline. This makes it possible for the valve operator to clean deposited solids, replace gland packings and seats, and polish ball scratches without the need to remove the valve body from the pipeline. As such, a three-piece socket weld ball valve can be serviced and cleaned easily without the need to remove them from the pipeline. Three-piece socket weld ball valves can be used in industries where sanitation is very important such as pharmaceuticals and food processing applications. However, three-piece ball valves are very expensive relative to other socket weld ball valves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2811 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sinovalveco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/forged-steel-ball-valve.jpg\" alt=\"\u0635\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0643\u0631\u0648\u064a \u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u062d\u0627\u0645 \u0628\u0645\u0642\u0628\u0633 \u0645\u0646 \u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b \u0642\u0637\u0639\" width=\"330\" height=\"248\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Figure: Three-piece socket weld ball valve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduced_bore_socket_weld_ball_valve\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>Reduced bore socket weld ball valve\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is a socket weld ball valve in which the ball bore diameter is less than the pipe diameter. This type of socket weld ball valve has a reduced bore with a venturi-shaped passage. Because of the reduced ball bore, the socket weld ball valve experiences friction losses. <a href=\"https:\/\/ntgdvalve.com\/ar\/reduced-bore-ball-valve\/\">\u0635\u0645\u0627\u0645\u0627\u062a \u0643\u0631\u0648\u064a\u0629 \u0645\u0646\u062e\u0641\u0636\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062c\u0648\u064a\u0641<\/a> are used where drop in pressure, flow turbulence, and material characteristics are not a major concern. Reduced bore socket weld ball valves are of lower cost and have a smaller size. Reduced bore socket weld ball valves are suitable for use where flow rate has no strict demand to help reduce the cost and weight since these valves have relatively lower weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Full_port_socket_weld_ball_valve\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>Full port socket weld ball valve\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is a socket weld ball valve that has the ball bore diameter the same size as the pipe diameter. This type of socket weld ball valve helps to reduce fluid resistance as the fluid flow from the pipeline through the valve is almost linear which reduces fluid turbulence. However, the cost of a full port socket weld ball valve is higher relative to other socket weld ball valves. Full-port socket weld ball valves are suitable where low fluid flow resistance is important such as in pump suction pipes in which loss of pressure can affect the performance of the pump.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forged_socket_weld_ball_valve\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>Forged socket weld ball valve<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is a socket weld ball valve made through the forging process.

This type of socket weld ball valve ensures that the valve body is free from leakage unlike bolted valves like three-piece socket weld ball valves. However, this type of valve is hard to service or clean while on-site. To clean or service a welded body socket weld ball valve, the valve needs to be removed completely from the pipeline. Welded body socket weld ball valves are suitable for use in underground or buried systems where no frequent maintenance is expected.
