Motor Actuated Valve Application Guide Ball Valves
alternative. For three-way operation, ball valves should only be applied in diverting service to maintain their inherent equal percentage type flow characteristics and extend seal life. For valve sizes 2-1/2"and up, the butterfly valve is the most cost effective solution. Beginning at 2-1/2", material

Establishing a new method for determining valve flow coefficient
. As an example, a ball-type valve has a very low xT, well below 1 2, whereas a globe-style valve would have an xT significantly higher than 1 2. As shown in Figure 1, valve geometry determines the choked flow pressure ratio. Valves with complicated or circuitous flow paths tend to have numerically high xT

MICRO: Using a transducer and a flowmeter to determine slurry flow rate and POU filter life
Considerations. Engineers then considered using an ultrasonic, ball-float, paddle-wheel, or venturi flow-through measurement mechanism to determine filter lifetime, but each of these options posed specific problems: An ultrasonic flowmeter, although easy to install since it mounts outside
