What Are The Factors To Consider In The Selection And Application Of Industrial Valves?

Industrial valves are used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. So do you know what are the factors to consider in the selection and application of industrial valves?

The factors to consider in the selection and application of Sanitary Valve are as follows:
Medium characteristics: including the type, temperature, pressure, corrosiveness, viscosity, solid particles contained in the fluid, etc.
Working conditions: including working pressure, temperature, flow requirements, switching frequency, etc.
Material selection: Select the appropriate valve body material according to the corrosiveness of the medium and working conditions, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, plastic, ceramic, etc.
Valve size: Select the appropriate valve caliber according to the pipeline size and flow requirements.
Operation mode: Select manual operation, electric operation, pneumatic operation or hydraulic operation as needed.
Standards and certifications: Ensure that the valve complies with relevant national and international standards, such as API, ANSI, DIN, ISO, etc.
Cost-effectiveness: Comprehensively consider the price, performance, maintenance cost and life of the valve.
The correct valve selection and application are essential to ensure the safety, reliability and operation of industrial systems. In actual applications, you should cooperate with professional valve suppliers or manufacturers to ensure that the products meet specific application requirements.
Industrial-grade valves are composed of three major parts: valve body, opening and closing mechanism, and valve cover. This article focuses on the structural characteristics of our company's commonly used valves and precautions for their correct use.
