The difference between ball valves and globe valves

ball valve ‌ : the opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball, driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. Ball valve by rotating 90 degrees to switch, simple structure, small fluid resistance, easy to operate. ‌ ‌ globe valve ‌ : The opening and closing part of the globe valve is a disc, which is opened and closed by the linear stroke of the stem and spool.

The difference between ball valves and Stop valve

Structure and working principle
‌ ball valve ‌ : the opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball, driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. Ball valve by rotating 90 degrees to switch, simple structure, small fluid resistance, easy to operate. ‌
‌ globe valve ‌ : The opening and closing part of the globe valve is a disc, which is opened and closed by the linear stroke of the stem and spool. The fluid blockage of the stop valve is large, and the operation needs to overcome the large resistance. ‌
Application scenario
‌ Ball valve ‌ : Suitable for applications that require frequent operation and large flow, such as water heaters, chemical pipelines, etc. Ball valve simple structure, easy maintenance, suitable for a variety of media, including corrosive media. ‌
‌ stop valve ‌ : suitable for occasions where precise flow control is required, such as household water main valve. The globe valve has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for limiting water flow.
Features and advantages and disadvantages
‌ ball valve ‌ :
Advantages: low fluid resistance, easy operation, simple maintenance, suitable for various media.
Disadvantages: high cost, can not throttle.
‌ stop valve ‌ :
Advantages: simple structure, low cost, suitable for limiting water flow occasions.
Disadvantages: The fluid blockage is large, and the operation needs to overcome greater resistance.
