| Ball Valves | Water supply systems, industrial pipelines | Brass body (ASTM B280 compliant), PN16 pressure (▲ from PN10 Base), threaded (ISO 228-1), lockable handle (ANSI Z21.22), CSA/EPR/ACS/CE/WRAS certified | Rapid shut-off (▲), durable material, certified safety, lockable for security | Higher cost, not suited for slurry, requires regular maintenance |
| Gate Valves | On/off control in low-pressure pipelines | Ductile iron body (ASTM A48), PN10 pressure, flanged (ISO 7005) | Minimal flow resistance, full bore flow, cost-effective for standard use | Slow operation, not for throttling, limited pressure tolerance (PN10) |
| Butterfly Valves | Space-constrained systems, moderate pressure | Stainless steel disc (ASTM A314), PN10 pressure, wafer-style (ISO 5752) | Compact design (▲), lightweight, low cost | Lower pressure rating, potential leakage over time, not for high-pressure use |
| Globe Valves | Precise flow control in high-pressure systems | Cast iron body (ASTM A48), PN16 pressure, angled design (ISO 22312) | Excellent throttling (▲), durable, handles high pressure (▲ from PN10 Base) | Higher pressure drop, complex design increases cost, slower operation |
| Check Valves | Backflow prevention in water systems | Stainless steel ball (ASTM A276), PN16 pressure, spring-loaded (ISO 9513) | Reliable backflow prevention, handles high pressure (▲), corrosion-resistant | Requires maintenance, may cause pressure drop, limited to medium flow rates |
| Diaphragm Valves | Corrosive/slurry fluid handling | PTFE diaphragm (ASTM D4703), corrosion-resistant body (ASTM A744), PN10 pressure | Handles abrasive fluids (▲), chemical resistance, easy to clean | Low pressure capacity (PN10), frequent diaphragm replacement, limited flow rates |
