Ball joints are specifically designed for high temperature and/or pressure applications, such as high pressure steam, where safety is paramount. Here, as with many other critical applications, the piping needs to be completely free from even the smallest of leaks, yet allow for expansion/contraction and omni-directional movement, particularly during seismic activity. Piping can carry any number of types of liquid or gas. Hence they are used wherever significant movements could occur and maintaining the integrity of the piping system is of the highest priority.
