L'un a une vane qui obture en se déplaçant selon un axe perpendiculaire au débit, l'autre comporte une bille sphérique percée d'un passage et qui coupe le débit en tournant sur son axe.
Peer comment(s):

agree Daniel Marquis : Oui, bien d'accord, mais il faudrait ajouter *à* avant vanne. Ainsi on aurait : robinet à tournant sphérique/à vanne. En effet : gate valve = robinet à vanne et non vanne.
