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.

TypePrimary functionTypical strengthSelection caution
Ball valveIsolationLow flow resistance; quarter-turn operationCheck seat compatibility, temperature and cavity pressure
Butterfly valveIsolation/controlCompact at medium and large sizesCheck differential pressure, seat design and torque
Gate valveFull-open/full-closeLow resistance when fully openNot normally used for continuous throttling
Globe valveThrottling/isolationStable flow regulationAllow for a higher pressure drop

01 How should one compare valve brands and suppliers?
The manufacturing standards, material grades, pressure levels, leakage requirements, inspection documents, supply boundaries, delivery cycles and after-sales responsibilities should be compared based on the same technical conditions. If the technical conditions are different, comparing only the brand names or quotations would not be comparable.
