Type & Benefits of Stainless Steel Valve

Stainless Steel Valves:


Introduction: Valves are meant to open and close. If there is too much corrosion, the valve may break or become unable to move. Stainless steel valves are a great material for corrosion resistance, especially the stainless steel valve series 316 is corrosion resistant because it has more nickel and also contains molybdenum. As stainless steel valves hold up much better to harsher water types, they are the best options for high pressure and temperature situations.


Each type of stainless steel valve serves a very distinct purpose and is used in a number of industries including water management, chemical processing, food production, residential areas, military and transport sector.


Types of stainless steel valves:


Stainless steel ball check valve: They are commonly used for the prevention of backflow into a pipeline and are critical for systems involving water purification or filtering.


Stainless steel gate valve: It functions as an on/off valve. The disc or gate located inside the value is raised and then lowered while a handle is turned. Rising stem and non-rising stem are two styles of gate valves are available.


Knife valves: They are similar in nature to gate valves, but the difference is that a knife valve is more compact than a gate valve.


Ball valves: Without incurring a drop in pressure, these valves are typically used as a type of on/off control. Ideally suited for situations requiring a quick shut-off, a 90-degree turn can complete a shut-off with this valve.


Benefits:

Because of the robustness, stainless steel valves are the top choice in the industry.

Resistance against rust (corrosion-free) is its one of the most amazing qualities.

They are less weighted and cost effective than titanium valves and don’t require any changes in their valve seats.

A main advantage is their durability over other valves manufactured by other types of metals.

They do not have any issues when used in very hot or exceptionally cold conditions and can be used at any temperature.

They have a hydraulic system designed to avoid leaks, especially when dealing with something to which exposure may be toxic or harmful.
