Ball Valve researchers point to a spherical ball-type valve patented in 1871 led to the invention of today’s ball valve. This ball valve was an all brass valve- brass ball and brass seats. Apparently this ball valve didn’t storm the market and was not mentioned in valve catalogs of the late 1800’s While today’s ball valve is quite a recent invention, the idea for this ball valve has been around about 125 years.

Vacuum: A space in which the pressure is far below normal atmospheric pressure so that the remaining gases do not affect processes being carried on in the space.
For decades, high-vacuum valve selection has had limited options. Applications have been limited to two basic types of valves with a variety of options–the high-vacuum gate valve and the high-vacuum poppet valve. The ball valve has never been considered a good choice because of inherent virtual leak possibilities, stem leaks, and gas entrapment. Now, the advent of high-tech, high-vacuum ball valves is a reality.
