The flow characteristic is equal percentage, that is, with the change of the valve opening, the flow change shows a stable and equal proportional relationship, which makes the segment ball valve very suitable for applications requiring fine control of flow. The adjustable ratio is up to 100:1, which means that the flow rate can change continuously from full on to near full off, providing a wide range of adjustment.

The ball adopts 1/4 hemispherical shape with unilateral seat structure. When there are solid particles in the medium, the cavity blockage will not occur like ordinary O-type ball valves. There is no gap between the segment ball and the seat, which has a large shear force, especially suitable for the control of suspension and solid particles containing fiber or small solid particles.

Because segment ball valves are often used for the control of corrosive media, they are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, alloys, etc., to ensure long-term stable use.

Segment ball valve in the fluid through, because the cavity in the ball body is V-shaped, the fluid flows through the large pressure loss, so it is suitable for high pressure loss requirements. When the ball valve passes through the fluid, the pressure loss is relatively small because the cavity in the ball body is a circular groove.
