Valve type selection comparison
Use this table for initial comparison only. Final selection must be checked against the medium, pressure, temperature, leakage class, piping standard and actuation requirements.
| Type | Primary function | Typical strength | Selection caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ball valve | Isolation | Low flow resistance; quarter-turn operation | Check seat compatibility, temperature and cavity pressure |
| Butterfly valve | Isolation/control | Compact at medium and large sizes | Check differential pressure, seat design and torque |
| Gate valve | Full-open/full-close | Low resistance when fully open | Not normally used for continuous throttling |
| Globe valve | Throttling/isolation | Stable flow regulation | Allow for a higher pressure drop |
