Hard Seal Butterfly Valves: Characteristics, Advantages and Maintenance Guidelines

Butterfly valves, based on their sealing states, are categorized into soft seal and hard seal variants. The commonly used soft seal includes fluorine-lined butterfly valves, while the hard seal category encompasses metal hard-seal disc valves. Hard seal butterfly valves refer to valves where both sides of the sealing pair consist of metal or other relatively hard materials. While hard-seal butterfly valves may exhibit inferior sealing performance, they boast high-temperature resistance, wear resistance,...

Comparing Features of Floating Ball Valves and Fixed Ball Valves

Floating Ball Valve: The ball in a floating ball valve is movable, and under the pressure of the medium, it can generate a certain displacement and press tightly against the sealing surface at the outlet to ensure sealing. This ball valve has a small volume, light weight, simple structure, and excellent sealing performance. However, the ball transfers all the loads from the working medium to the outlet sealing ring, so it is essential to consider whether the sealing ring material can withstand the...
