How Do Floating Ball Valves Compare to Other Types of Valves in Catalysis?
Floating ball valves are often compared to trunnion ball valves and butterfly valves:
- Trunnion Ball Valves: Have a fixed ball supported by additional mechanical anchoring, which is suitable for high-pressure applications but more complex and expensive. - Butterfly Valves: Use a rotating disc to control flow and are lighter and cheaper but may not provide as tight a seal as floating ball valves.
