API Cast steel flanged ball valve:RF/RTJ Flange,150LB - 600 LB

Cast steel flanged ball valves and gate valves are similar in function but
differ in their design and operation. The primary distinction is that the
closure element in a ball valve is a spherical ball, which rotates around
the centerline of the valve body to open or close the flow path. Cast steel
flanged ball valves are commonly used to stop, distribute, and change the
flow direction of the medium within a pipeline.

As a relatively newer type of valve, cast steel flanged ball valves have
gained popularity in recent years due to their versatility and efficiency.
They are extensively used in industries such as petroleum refining, natural
gas processing, coal and ore extraction, and pipeline transport systems.
These valves play a critical role in production, national defense
infrastructure, and everyday life.

The primary function of cast steel flanged ball valves is to start or stop
the flow of medium in various piping systems, enabling precise control and
ensuring that the medium is directed to designated points as per operational
requirements.
