The chip ball valve is the most common and widely used type of valve. It is used for horizontal installation in various pipelines to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. Piece ball valve can be divided into one piece, two piece and three piece. How to distinguish different types correctly and quickly, you can better understand the distinction through the following.

The one-piece ball valve is an integrated type consisting of a ball, a PTFE ring, and a lock nut. The diameter of the ball is slightly smaller than that in the pipeline, similar to the wide-type ball valve.
The two-piece ball valve is composed of two parts. The sealing effect is better than that of the one-piece ball valve. The diameter of the ball is the same as that of the pipeline, and it is easier to disassemble than the one-piece ball valve.
The three-piece ball valve is composed of three parts, the bonnet and the middle valve body. The difference between the three-piece ball valve and the two-piece ball valve and the one-piece ball valve is that it is easy to disassemble and maintain.

In terms of pressure, the pressure resistance of the three-piece type is much higher than that of the one-piece and two-piece ball valves. The outside of the three-piece ball valve is mostly fixed by four bolts, which plays a very good tightening role. The precision casting valve body can reach a pressure of 1000psi≈6.9MPa. Higher pressures require forged valve bodies.

Distinguish from the economic point of view: the three-piece type is higher than the two-piece and one-piece in terms of material and price, and the three-piece valve body is composed of three parts and has higher pressure. The one-piece type has the best price, because the main material is significantly less than the two-piece and three-piece types.
