What is the difference between ball valve and butterfly valve?

Answer:

The two kinds of valves can be distinguished from their names. Ball valve cut-off is a ball in the valve to achieve, the ball blocked the pipeline will not flow, move away on the circulation. The closing effect of the butterfly valve is two or one butterfly wing, just like butterfly wings, or, like a blade, the shop is expanded and sealed, and the pipe is out of circulation. Plainly, one is blocking with the ball, and the other is blocking with the blade.
The butterfly valve consists of valve body, valve seat, valve plate, valve rod, all parts are a significant drain on the outside, one eye can see; and the ball valve is composed of a valve body, the valve core (a round ball), valve rod, valve position is in the valve body inside, the naked eye can see only a part, so the sealing performance of the ball valve than the butterfly valve; butterfly valve structure is relatively simple, generally with low pressure valve, high pressure valve can reach 64 kg. The ball valve structure is relatively complex, more resistant to high pressure, the ball valve up to 100 kg.Butterfly valves are divided into soft seal and seal, soft seal butterfly valve is generally perpendicular to the center of the plate, is the valve plate, valve seat, valve stem is the center position of the highest temperature soft sealing butterfly valve is 150 degrees below the pressure of 16 kg, hard seal butterfly valve can be divided into single eccentric, double eccentric, three eccentric, we generally use more than three eccentric, because the three eccentric according to its structure, better sealing performance, hard seal butterfly valve pressure is 64 kg; the valve can also be divided into soft seal and seal, soft seal valve maximum temperature is below 280 degrees, the pressure is on 64 kg, hard seal ball valve temperature can reach 425 degrees below the pressure below 100 kilograms. Shanghai Sino US valve for your answer, for reference.
The ball valve and butterfly valve butterfly valve ball valve and the maximum difference between the difference between the two is the valve opening and closing parts is a panel, which is a ball valve, butterfly valve plate and the ball valve is rotated around its own axis for movement of the ball valve is a spherical sealing surface.The valve (Valve) is a mechanical device that controls the flow, flow, pressure, temperature, etc. of a fluid medium. The valve is the basic component of the piping system. Valve fittings are technically similar to pumps and are often discussed as a separate category. Valves can be operated by hand or hand wheel, handle or pedal, or by control to change the pressure, temperature and flow change of fluid medium. The valve can perform continuous or repeated operations on these changes, such as a safety valve installed in a hot water or steam boiler. In more complex control systems, automatic control valves are required depending on external inputs (i.e., regulating the flow through the pipe to the changing setting points). Automatic control valve without manual operation, according to its input and settings, so that the valve accurately control the requirements of fluid medium. The valve according to the material is divided into cast iron valves, cast steel valves, stainless steel valves, chrome molybdenum steel, chromium molybdenum vanadium steel valves, valve, dual phase steel valves, plastic valves, non-standard customized valve material etc..
