Ball valves or shut-off valves are the forms of a quarter-turn valve that uses hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control flow the flow of a liquid or gas. By rotating the ball a quarter-turn or 90⁰ around its axis, the medium can be blocked or flow through. Ball valves are also used as a control valve and also offer advantages such as reliable sealing in the case of dirty media.
