Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How much vacuum service can this Apollo 7610727 ball valve withstand?
A. 29 inches of Hg.
Q. What is the difference between ball valves and butterfly valves?
A.
- Ball valves have a ball inside the valve body that rotates to control the flow of fluid, while butterfly valves have a disk-shaped element that rotates to control the flow.
- Ball valves provide a smooth flow with low resistance, while butterfly valves can cause turbulence in the flow due to the disk shape of the valve element.
- Ball valves are typically larger and heavier than butterfly valves, making them more suitable for high-pressure applications.
