Ball Valve History and Mystery

Here is a light hearted history and trivia on the ball valve, An Article by Johnny Mayer.

Read it and you will never take your natural gas or electricity for granted again, ok so maybe you will…

Ball Valve mystery? The humble ball valve has a checkered history and somewhat murky origins. It may not be cloak and dagger stuff, but it's not without mystery… Take a look around to see where the ball valve is indispensable. For example, the ball valve is crucial to the petroleum industry, water, electric power, chemical, paper, pharmaceuticals, food, steel and other fields. If it seems we could not get a long without the ball valve, it's probably true! Given the importance of the ball valve today, it's a mystery why it took so long to invent.

Ball Valve history does not go back to ancient Greece or the American revolution or does it? The modern ball vale was invented in 1967 or about 1957 according to different sources. Who cares when the ball valve was invented? Besides the patented owner, probably not many people. Still the ball valve was major advancement over plug valves used in the 20th century. The ancient An , the earliest ball valves were commercially available around 1967. For ancient parallels, the ruins of Pompeii turned up a bronze tapered plug quarter turn valve that resembles to the ball valve today. How's that for a ball valve mystery?

Ball Valve Birth Pains

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. The first resilient seated ball valve patent was issued in April,1945. Legend has it the company's marketing department could not envision a use for the valve and it was not manufactured. Oh well, that's the way the ball valve bounces…Given the huge reliance on the ball valve today, it's a mystery why it took so long for people to invent and use the ball valve.

Gov't to support refinery contractors financially

Vietnam will provide financial support to the builders and subcontractors of the Dung Quat project, the country’s first oil refinery, as costs increase.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung told the Vietnam Oil & Gas Group, known as PetroVietnam, the project must be completed on time and be operational from February, according to a statement posted on the government’s website Monday.

Vietnam, the Southeast Asian’s third largest crude oil producer, currently imports all of its refined oil products.

The government expects the 6.5 million-metric-ton-a-year refinery to help narrow the nation’s trade deficit and curb inflation that has reached the fastest since 1992.

Around 84 percent of Dung Quat’s construction has been completed, the statement cited PetroVietnam as saying.

PetroVietnam is seeking government approval to increase the refinery’s annual capacity to 10 million tons after the plant starts operating to help meet rising fuel demand.

Consumer prices have accelerated to the highest in 16 years, leading to a 30 percent increase in the cost of building materials.

The government has also restricted lending to construction projects as they don’t fall under the category of essential-goods production.

PetroVietnam and Japanese refiner Idemitsu and Kuwait Petroleum International are also building Vietnam’s second refinery, the US$6 billion 200,000-bpd Nghi Son plant, in the country’s north, with completion slated for 2013.
