• Valve Type: ISO 10497 ball valves are designed for precise flow control, offering a quarter-turn operation that allows for quick and reliable shutoff.
• Flow Control Precision: Ball valves provide excellent flow control precision due to their design, which allows for a tight seal and minimal leakage. The quarter-turn operation ensures that the valve can be quickly opened or closed, providing precise control over fluid flow.
• Applications: ISO 10497 ball valves are commonly used in applications requiring high precision and quick response, such as in chemical processing, oil and gas, and water treatment plants.
• Valve Type: EN 12662 gate valves are designed for on-off control and are known for their ability to provide tight shutoff. They feature a wedge-shaped gate that compresses against the seat to create a seal.
• Flow Control Precision: While gate valves are primarily designed for on-off control, they can also provide some degree of flow control through partial opening. However, their precision in flow control is generally lower compared to ball valves due to their linear motion and larger gate design.
• Applications: EN 12662 gate valves are commonly used in applications requiring tight shutoff and on-off control, such as in water treatment plants, chemical processing, and general industrial applications.
