What is Full Bore vs Reduced Bore Ball Valves about?
1) Reduced bore ball valves have a larger pressure drop than full bore valves. 2) For general process applications, reduced bore valves can be used if the additional pressure drop is not significant, as they are more cost effective and lighter for offshore applications. 3) An example calculation shows that for a 4 inch line with a flow rate of 52.5 gpm, a reduced bore valve results in a pressure drop of 0.0076 psi versus 0.0008 psi for a full bore valve, so the reduced bore valve is acceptable for this a
