It is mainly used to cut off pipeline media with only two working states: fully open and fully closed, and is generally not suitable for flow regulation. With diverse material options, it can adapt to low-temperature and low-pressure working conditions as well as high-temperature and high-pressure environments. However, gate valves are generally not applicable for pipelines conveying slurry and other impure media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Low fluid resistance, which will not cause obvious pressure loss to the pipeline medium. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low torque is required for opening and closing, saving operating force.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No restriction on medium flow direction, applicable to bidirectional flow ring pipe networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When fully open, the sealing surface suffers less medium erosion compared with globe valves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple overall structure with excellent manufacturability and convenient production and processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short structural length, saving pipeline installation space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large overall outline size and high opening height, requiring large installation space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relative friction occurs on the sealing surface during opening and closing, causing serious wear and even scratch damage under high temperature conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most gate valves are equipped with two sealing surfaces, increasing the difficulty of processing, grinding and later maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long opening and closing time, unable to realize quick switch of pipeline medium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u0417\u0430\u0441\u043b\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0430<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A butterfly valve adopts a disc-shaped opening and closing part, which rotates reciprocally by about 90\u00b0 to open, close and regulate the fluid channel. It is a common regulating and cut-off valve widely used in medium and large-diameter water pipeline systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simple structure, small size, light weight and low material consumption, with prominent cost advantages especially for large-diameter valves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast opening and closing speed and low flow resistance, ensuring smooth medium circulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be used for media with suspended solid particles, and can also adapt to powdery and granular media according to the strength of the sealing surface. It is widely used for bidirectional opening, closing and regulation of ventilation and dust removal pipelines, gas pipelines and water pipelines in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, petrochemical and other industries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Narrow flow regulation range; the flow rate can reach more than 95% of the maximum when the opening degree exceeds 30%, resulting in poor fine-tuning performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricted by structural design and sealing materials, it is not suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure pipeline systems, with a maximum working temperature below 300\u2103 and nominal pressure below PN40.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sealing performance is inferior to ball valves and globe valves, so it is only applicable to working scenarios with low sealing requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve-837x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-564\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.817392818786102;width:358px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve-837x1024.jpeg 837w, https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve-245x300.jpeg 245w, https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve-768x939.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve-10x12.jpeg 10w, https:\/\/www.xvs-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/butterfly-valve.jpeg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u043f\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u043a\u043b\u0430\u043f\u0430\u043d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ball Valve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evolved from plug valves, ball valves take a spherical part as the opening and closing component. The spherical body rotates 90\u00b0 around the valve stem axis to realize pipeline opening and closing. Conventional ball valves are mainly used for cutting off, distributing and changing the flow direction of media, while V-shaped ball valves have excellent flow regulation performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Extremely low flow resistance (nearly zero), with the best fluid passing performance among common valves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No jamming during operation even without lubricant, suitable for corrosive media and low-boiling liquid working conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can achieve full and reliable sealing within a wide range of pressure and temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support ultra-fast opening and closing, with a switching time of only 0.05~0.1s for some structures, no operation impact, and suitable for automated system equipment such as test benches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The spherical closing part can realize automatic positioning at the boundary position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable double-sided sealing for working media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the sphere and valve seat is isolated from the medium, avoiding erosion caused by high-speed fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compact structure and light weight, making it the optimal valve structure for low-temperature medium systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Symmetrical valve body (especially welded valve body) can well bear pipeline stress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The closing part can withstand high pressure difference during closing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully welded ball valves can be directly buried underground, protecting internal valve parts from corrosion, with a service life of up to 30 years, which is the ideal choice for petroleum and natural gas pipelines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The main valve seat sealing material of ball valves is PTFE (Teflon), which is chemically inert, low in friction coefficient, stable in performance and excellent in sealing. However, its defects such as high expansion coefficient, cold flow sensitivity and poor thermal conductivity limit the service conditions. The sealing reliability will decrease when the material ages and hardens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compared with globe valves, ball valves have weaker flow regulation performance, especially pneumatic and electric ball valves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Globe Valve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A globe valve is a valve whose closing part (valve disc) moves along the center line of the valve seat. The opening change of the valve seat passage is in direct proportion to the stroke of the valve disc. With short opening and closing stroke and reliable cut-off performance, and its adjustable passage opening, globe valves are very suitable for pipeline medium cut-off, flow regulation and throttling, and are widely used in water supply, drainage and steam pipeline systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The friction between the valve disc and the valve body sealing surface during opening and closing is smaller than that of gate valves, with better wear resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The opening height is only 1\/4 of the valve seat passage, much smaller than gate valves, saving installation space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usually only one sealing surface is designed for the valve body and valve disc, with simple manufacturing process and convenient later maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The packing is mostly a mixture of asbestos and graphite, with high temperature resistance, making it the preferred valve for steam pipelines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The medium flow direction changes when passing through the valve, resulting in higher minimum flow resistance than most other valve types and large pipeline pressure loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long working stroke leads to slower opening speed than ball valves, unable to realize quick medium cut-off and circulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate valve selection and high-quality valve product matching are the core keys to ensure the stable operation of fluid transmission systems.
