25. Valve Body Advantages Disadvantages
globe
(unbalanced)
-large range
-good shutoff
-unbalanced forces
-high pressure loss
globe (balanced)
-high capacity
-large range
-balanced forces
-poor shutoff
-high pressure loss
ball
-high capacity
-tight shutoff
-moderate pressure drop applications
-tends to plug (except segmented ball)
butterfly
-high capacity
-low pressure loss
-slurry applications
-high torque
-large deadband
-affects flow through limited range (i.e. 0-
60%)
-tight shutoff requires special seat material
diaphragm
-slurry applications
-corrosion resistant
materials
-short diaphragm life
-limited pressure and temperature
-small range
gate -tight shutoff -used only with clean fluids
