the flow may become choked, but the valve damage will likely be reduced as the plug moves away from the seat. Figure 4. This graph compares the vena contracta pressures of a high recovery (ball, ...

Globe Valves: Ideal for precise throttling and flow regulation, commonly used in applications requiring accurate control. Butterfly Valves: Suitable for large flow capacities with quick opening ...

Attempting to represent the flow capacity of an FBBV in terms of control valve standard methods is confounding and can be very misleading, especially when comparing different ball valve units. Based ...
