▶️Rotary motion valves are fast acting valves that only require 90 degrees (1/4 turn) of rotation to move from the fully open to fully closed position. Examples of quarter turn valves include the ball, butterfly and plug type valves.

Linear motion valves act more slowly than rotary motion valves. The disc is moved in a linear direction with relation to the seat. Examples of linear motion valves include the gate and globe type valves.

What follows is a short summary of characteristics of each valve type.

How Ball Valve Works
¼ turn. Fast acting. Open and close only. Low pressure drop across the valve.

How Butterfly Valve Works
¼ turn. Fast acting. Open, close and throttling. Low pressure drop across the valve.

How Diaphragm Valve Works
Linear motion. Open, close and throttling. Low pressure drop across the valve.

How Gate Valve Works
Linear motion. Open and close only. Low pressure drop across the valve.

How Globe Valve Works
Linear motion. Open, close and throttling. Medium pressure drop across the valve.

How Needle Valve Works
Linear motion. Open, close and throttling. Very fine flow control.

How Pinch Valve Works
Linear motion. Open, close and throttling (between 10 and 95% of flow capacity). Very low pressure drop across the valve.

How Plug Valve Works
¼ turn. Fast acting. Open and close only. Low pressure drop across the valve.

How Relief Valve Works
Linear motion. Opens proportionally to the amount of over-pressure applied.

How Safety Valve Works
Linear motion. Opens fully in the event of over-pressure, or is closed fully.
