Why Are 8" Ball Valves (DN200) Important?

8 inch Ball Valves (DN200) are essential in large-scale fluid handling systems where high flow capacity, reliability, and quick shut-off are critical. Their full-bore design allows for unrestricted media flow, reducing pressure drop and energy loss—making them ideal for industrial pipelines, water treatment networks, and bulk liquid or gas distribution systems. In operations where downtime can be costly or hazardous, the ability of these valves to provide fast and secure isolation is a major advantage.

Their robust construction ensures long-term durability in harsh environments, including corrosive, high-pressure, and high-temperature conditions. Whether used in manual setups or integrated into automated process control systems, DN200 ball valves help maintain operational safety, flow efficiency, and system integrity—making them a vital component in mission-critical applications across oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and utility infrastructure.

Where Would You Find 8" Ball Valves (DN200)?

You would typically find DN200 Ball Valves (8") installed in large industrial and commercial systems where high-volume fluid control is essential. These valves are commonly used in oil and gas pipelines, where they provide reliable isolation and control for crude oil, natural gas, or refined products. In water treatment and distribution plants, DN200 ball valves manage flow between reservoirs, filtration units, and main supply lines.

They are also found in chemical processing facilities, where robust shut-off is required for handling aggressive or corrosive media, and in power generation plants, where they regulate cooling water, steam, and other essential process fluids. Additionally, these valves are used in marine systems, district heating networks, mining operations, and large-scale fire protection systems—anywhere that demands high-flow capacity, safety, and long-term durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
