Is it better to use sanitary ball valve or diaphragm valve for pure steam pipeline?

The quality standard of pure steam is the same as that of water for injection. There are retention areas and dead corners in the center of the ball valve. It is recommended to replace it.

The sanitary ball valve is prone to the phenomenon of not being able to close, and the steam cannot reach the spherical part during disinfection. It is more reasonable to use sanitary diaphragm valve.

It is best to use diaphragm valve. Some design institutes use ball valves when designing. This should not be misleading customers. However, as a high-quality system, the cleanest and least risky should be the diaphragm valve.

Pure steam is used for sterilization process, so what is the situation of the materials that need to be handled during sterilization? The ball valve has dead corners, which may lead to the risk of microbial growth. But isn’t the purpose of sterilization process to kill microorganisms?
