What is the difference between full bore and reduced bore ball valve?
The internal diameter of a full bore ball valve is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe. The full bore ball valve has little resistance and pressure drop to the flow. Plus, the full bore ball valve is piggable.
However, the internal diameter of a reduced port (standard port) ball valve is smaller than the inner pipe size. Flow restriction caused by the reduced port will cause a pressure drop. And sometimes a pig to clean the pipe will get stuck in the reduced port ball valve.
