2.3.1. Area of application

Ball valves are bubble-tight shut-off industrial valves that can be used for the isolation, throttling 
and regulation of corrosive gases, liquids, pastes and powder products in pipelines, vessels, 
apparatus etc.
The surfaces of the of the body parts, together with the ball or C-core that are in contact with the 
medium are coated with PFA. Ball seats and control orifice plates are available in various material 
types and can be used to suit the medium.
