There are significant differences between high-platform ball valves and ordinary ball valves in terms of structure, installation method, performance characteristics, appearance, application scenario and cost, as follows: 

 Structure and installation method 

 • High-platform ball valve: adopts a new ISO5211 platform structure, with a platform on the valve stem, and the actuator can be installed directly without a bracket. This design is not only convenient for installation and disassembly, but also greatly improves the stability between the valve and the actuator. 

 • Ordinary ball valve: If you want to install the actuator, you need to install a bracket, and the valve fastening bolt should be lengthened to facilitate the installation of the bracket. This installation method is relatively complex and may affect the overall performance of the valve due to loose bracket or excessive coupling gap. 

 Performance characteristics 

 • High platform ball valve: Due to its compact structure and high sealing performance, it has good stability and reliability, and can be applied to some harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and high corrosion. In addition, the operation performance of the high-platform ball valve is also very stable and will not affect the use because the bracket is loose or the coupling gap is too large. 

 • Ordinary ball valve: Although it also has certain characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., its scope of application may be more limited than that of high-platform ball valves. Especially in some occasions with high requirements for valve performance, ordinary ball valves may not be able to meet the requirements. 

 Appearance and technology 

 • High platform ball valve: using silicone sol casting process, the appearance of the product is usually more exquisite and beautiful. At the same time, due to its all-welded valve body structure, the overall height is lower and it looks more compact. 

 • Ordinary ball valve: The appearance may be relatively ordinary, and the overall height may be higher due to the bolted valve body structure. 

 Application scenario 

 • High platform ball valve: It is suitable for some special occasions, such as pipeline systems in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries, which have high requirements for the sealing performance, stability and reliability of the valve. 

 • Ordinary ball valve: It is more suitable for general industrial pipeline systems, such as water, steam, air and other pipes. Choose different valve types according to different needs. 

 Cost and maintenance 

 • High-platform ball valve: The initial cost may be high, but due to its compact structure, easy installation and stable performance, the maintenance cost may be lower in the long run. 

 • Ordinary ball valve: low initial investment, suitable for projects with limited budget. However, in the case of frequent maintenance or replacement of parts such as brackets, its long-term cost may increase.
