Ball valve
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a ball valve for natural gas.
Background
Compared with a ball valve for water, the ball valve for natural gas has higher requirement on sealing performance and can cause greater harm if leakage occurs in the using process.
In the existing ball valve structure, a valve rod is positioned on a valve seat and can only rotate in a positioning hole, and a valve ball is floating.
