Question:

The difference between cut-off valve and ball valve in PPR

I've seen a lot of hot water projects. Why do most of them use globe valves, and ball valves are seldom used?.Globe valves have those benefits compared to ball valves (because the cut-off valve is more expensive, I think it is more expensive and more useful. It must have some advantages in that respect.)Is the stop valve more durable than the ball valve?What are the specific differences between the two PPR valves?

Answer:

Yes, now the globe valve is more than the ball valve with more people, and its main or cut-off valve, a lot of adjustability, and most can be universal.Specific differences are as follows:Valve opening and closing parts are plug shaped valve, sealing surface flat or cone, fluid along the centerline of the valve for linear motion. Stem movement in the form of lifting rod (stem lifting, hand wheel not lifting), but also lifting, rotating rod type (hand wheel with the valve stem to rotate up and down, nut on the valve body). Valve is only applicable to fully open and fully closed, does not allow for adjustment and throttle.The cut-off valve is a forced seal type valve, so when the valve is closed, the valve must be applied to the pressure, to force the sealing surface is not leaking. When the medium into the valve six from the bottom of the valve, the operating force required to overcome the resistance, is the stem and the packing friction and pressure generated by the media thrust force than the valve off the valve opening force, so the diameter of the valve stem, otherwise it will bend the stem top of the fault. In recent years, the emergence of self sealing valve, globe valve replaced by medium flow on the top of the valve into the valve chamber, then in the medium under pressure, the valve off a small force, and force open the valve, stem diameter can be reduced accordingly. At the same time, in the role of media, this form of valve is also more stringent. China's valve "three to" has stipulated that the flow direction of the cut-off valve should be top-down.
The PPR valve is plug shaped valve, sealing surface flat or cone, fluid along the centerline of the valve for linear motion. Stem movement in the form of lifting rod (stem lifting, hand wheel not lifting), but also lifting, rotating rod type (hand wheel with the valve stem to rotate up and down, nut on the valve body). Valve is only applicable to fully open and fully closed, does not allow for adjustment and throttle.Ball valve has compact structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, sealing surface and spherical often in the closed state, the media can not easily be eroded, easy operation and maintenance for water, solvents, acids, and natural gas general working media, but also applies to poor working conditions of media, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide methane and ethylene, etc., are widely used in various industries. Ball valve body can be integrated, or can be combination.
