Performance Comparison Between Wafer Ball Valve And Electric Gate Valve

Performance Comparison between Wafer Ball Valve and Electric Gate Valves

For the same nominal pressure and nominal diameter, which one is more leak-proof and less likely to leak: a standard electric butterfly valve or an electric gate valve?

Electric gate valves offer better sealing than electric butterfly valves, but some manufacturers offer butterfly valves with superior sealing performance.

Electric gate valves are large and take up more space.

Electric ball valves are small and take up less space.

When choosing between these two options, consider the temperature of the medium, the valve seal, and the packing.

The specification stipulates that electric butterfly valves should be used for nominal diameters greater than 50 mm.

The Wafer Ball Valve is a national key new product. This high-performance manual ball valve utilizes a double eccentric and a special tapered elliptical sealing structure. This solves the problem of traditional eccentric butterfly valves, where the sealing surfaces remain in sliding contact and friction during the 0° to 10° opening and closing phases. This valve achieves a seal effect where the sealing surfaces separate upon opening and close, extending service life and maximizing sealing performance. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline.
