Ball Valve

These valves are commonly found in large-scale piping systems within the oil & gas industry, water treatment plants, power generation facilities, and process industries. Built from high-performance materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and ductile iron, our 6" ball valves are available in flanged, threaded, or welded end connections to match your installation needs. Manual and actuated options (electric or pneumatic) provide flexible control, making them ideal for both isolation and automated flow regulation.

Key features and benefits of 6 inch Ball Valves.

Key Features

With a full-bore design, 6" ball valves allow unrestricted flow, reducing pressure loss across the system. This makes them ideal for large-volume fluid transfer in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features

Manufactured from heavy-duty materials like stainless steel or carbon steel, these valves are built to withstand high pressures and temperatures. Their rugged design ensures long-term performance in harsh conditions.

Key Features

The quarter-turn mechanism delivers fast and secure shut-off with minimal effort. This helps protect downstream equipment and maintain operational safety.

Key Features

Suitable for water, steam, oil, gas, and chemical systems, DN150 ball valves adapt to a wide range of media. Their versatility makes them a top choice for industries like power, processing, and utilities.

Key Features

These valves can be easily fitted with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote or automated operation. This enhances control, efficiency, and system responsiveness.

Key Features

With minimal moving parts and high-integrity sealing, 6" ball valves require little maintenance over their service life. This helps reduce downtime and lowers operating costs in industrial systems.

6 inch Ball Valves (DN150) play a crucial role in industrial systems where high-volume flow control is required. Their ability to provide full-bore, unobstructed flow ensures minimal pressure drop, which is vital for maintaining system efficiency and performance. These valves are often found in pipelines transporting large quantities of water, oil, gas, steam, or chemicals—where quick shut-off, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable.

Their robust construction allows them to operate in high-pressure and high-temperature environments without compromising sealing integrity or durability. Additionally, the compatibility with actuation systems makes them essential in automated processes, where remote control and real-time responsiveness are key. Without valves of this size and strength, large-scale industrial and infrastructure systems would lack the control and reliability needed to function safely and efficiently.

You would typically find 6" Ball Valves (DN150) in large-scale industrial and infrastructure systems where high flow rates and dependable shut-off are essential. Common applications include water treatment plants, where they control flow in distribution and filtration systems, and oil & gas facilities, where they manage the movement of crude oil, natural gas, or refined products through pipelines.

They're also widely used in power generation plants for steam and cooling systems, chemical processing sites for handling aggressive or high-pressure media, and district heating and cooling networks to regulate flow across long pipe runs. Additionally, DN150 ball valves are found in fire protection systems, marine vessels, and bulk storage terminals, where reliable, large-diameter flow control is a critical safety and operational requirement.

We’ve got you covered. Our range of stainless steel ball valves offers superior corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and high-performance shut-off for demanding environments.

Industries

A ball valve is used to start or stop the flow of liquids or gases by rotating a ball with a bore inside the valve body. It provides quick, reliable shut-off with minimal pressure drop.

Ball valves use a hollow, pivoting ball that aligns with the flow path when open and rotates 90° to block flow when closed. The handle position clearly indicates whether the valve is open or shut.

Ball valves are not ideal for throttling or precise flow regulation, as partial opening can cause seat wear and turbulence. They're best used in fully open or closed positions.

Ball valves can be made from stainless steel, brass, bronze, PVC, CPVC, carbon steel, and other alloys. Material choice depends on the application, pressure, and media compatibility.

Yes, many industrial-grade ball valves are designed to handle high pressures, especially those made from metal with reinforced seals and full-bore designs.

Common types include two-piece, three-piece, flanged, wafer, full bore, reduced bore, and multi-port ball valves. Each type suits different installation and maintenance needs.

Ball valves have a long service life, especially in clean systems. With minimal moving parts and a durable seal, they often outlast other valve types when used correctly.

Most ball valves are bidirectional and allow flow in both directions. However, some designs may be unidirectional depending on the seat and body configuration.

Yes, ball valves can be fitted with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote or automatic control. This is common in industrial and process automation.

Ball valves are generally low maintenance. Three-piece designs are preferred where service or cleaning may be needed, as they allow in-line maintenance.

Ball valves are used across many sectors, including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and HVAC systems.

Ball valves come in sizes ranging from 1/4" (DN08) for small systems to 12" or larger (DN300+) for industrial pipelines. Size selection depends on flow rate and pipe compatibility.
