The difference is in terms of design requirements.
The FCV is used where there is continuous control of the liquid. It opens and closes depending on the quantity of liquid to be drained to mainain a particular constant level. That means the opening and closing varies depending liquid to be flowed. Example is a liquid in a live vessel that is continuously being controlled depending on the liquid level in the vessel. Most times, the FCV is used to maintain a particular liquid level in the vessel.
For the On/OFF valves, It is like a digital device. It comes On and opens the valve 100% and goes off and shut the valve. The valve does not respond to varying amount of liquid to be controlled. That is it either opens 100% or closess 0%. It is used in vent scrubbers, sump tanks or knockout vessels
The FCV can open 20%, 30%, 40% to 100% depending of the quantity required to be flowed.
