What is the material of the ball valve

The ball valve is one of our common valves. Its opening and closing part is a sphere, which is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve. There are many commonly used materials for ball valves, and some of them can even be customized according to customer needs. Common ball valve materials are: cast iron, stainless steel, copper, carbon steel, plastic, ceramics and so on. This article introduces you one by one.
Cast iron ball valve
Cast iron ball valves are mostly used in industrial pipelines for water, steam, air, oil and other media at room temperature. Subdivision can also be divided into gray cast iron, ductile iron and other materials.
Stainless steel ball valve
Stainless steel ball valves are mostly used in medium and high pressure pipelines with stronger temperature resistance. Stainless steel ball valves are mostly used in chemical, petrochemical, smelting and other industries. Commonly used stainless steel ball valves are flanged ball valves and small-bore ball valves with threaded connections.
Brass ball valve
The copper ball valve mainly refers to the threaded copper ball valve. This type of valve has a small caliber and is also a common valve in our daily life. It is mostly installed on the HVAC pipeline and used for superheated water.
Carbon steel ball valve
Carbon steel ball valves are suitable for low-pressure, small-diameter pipelines to cut off water flow and change the distribution of water flow or places that need to be opened and closed quickly. They can also be used for fluid regulation and control. There is a strong shear force between the metal valve seats welded with hard alloy, especially suitable for media containing fibers and tiny solid particles. 3q5 Bund Valve

Plastic ball valve
Plastic ball valve is made of plastic as raw material. It is suitable for the closure of the conveying process with corrosive media, and the temperature is -14°C~100°C, -40°C~140°C according to different materials. All parts are assembled by RPP or PVDF injection molded parts, which have excellent corrosion resistance, and the sealing ring is F4, which has excellent corrosion resistance.
Ceramic ball valve
Ceramic ball valve is a new type of valve material. The thickness of the valve shell exceeds the standard data requirements of national standards GB, JB and American Standard ANSl. The chemical elements and mechanical properties of the main material meet the requirements of national standards. Currently used in thermal power generation, steel, petroleum, paper, bioengineering and other industries. Bund Valve produces and sells cast iron ball valves, stainless steel ball valves, carbon steel ball valves, copper ball valves and other metal ball valve products. Plastic ball valves and ceramic ball valves are not available for now. If you have related inquiries, you can call Bund Valves.
