They are usually used for a long shutoff for years. And a preferable better to be used for this application than Gate valves and globe valves.

Ball valves supports hydraulic pressure up to 1000 bars and with temperature of 482 deg. F. And can be maintained easily. The proper fittings of hydraulic hose with a crimping machine is required to be on the safer side.Ball valves are made of metals,teflon and often chrome plated to enable it lasts longer.

The single body,
the three piece body,
the top entry,

Other ball valves includes:

a). Full port or full bore ball valve:

it has an enlarge port that has the same size with the pipeline, it reduces friction and is required more where their is always a free flow during pipeline pigging.

b). Reduced port or bore :

is a reduction on the full flow to one pipe size smaller than the pipeline or pipe.

C). A trunnion ball valve:

has an additional anchor at the top or bottom. They are used for a more higher application up to 40bar.

d). Cavity filler ball valve:
