The biggest difference between a knife gate valve and a flanged gate valve is that gate valve is manufactured according to ANSI , while knife gate valve meets TAPPI Standards. Gate valves are also flanged, wider in size, ANSI pressure rated, and their API leak tightness standards need to be met as well. Gate valves are bi-directional, widely used in fluid applications, and they only come with meta...

Bronze and brass are two of the most common materials used to produce valves. This preference comes because both metals are quite malleable. They both are artificially made from natural metallurgical elements: brass is made from copper and zinc, while another is made primarily from copper and tin. Each metal offers valves numerous and various advantages...

What is valve corrosion? Corrosion of valves is usually understood as the damage to the metal materials of the valve caused by the chemical or electrochemical environment. Since the corrosion appears in the spontaneous interaction between the metal and the surrounding environment, the focus of corrosion prevention is how to isolate the metal from the surrounding environment or more use of non...

As winter approaches, the temperature gradually drops and the valves outsides are getting greater chance tobe froze. At this time, the pipeline will easily fail if not take some acts. And when it comes to some high-risk working conditions, accidents may also occur. Therefore, the anti-freezing treatment of valves is crucial to industrial equipment. Before th...

What is the difference between a forged steel ball valve and a cast steel ball valve? The difference mainly lies in the processing technology and processing method of steel: A cast steel ball valves is a kind of ball valve that is formed by pouring liquids into a mold and then allowing them to solidify. Alloy steel is the most common casting material. Cast steel is divided into cast carbon st...

As we all know that the valve body like carbon steel (WCB, WCC, LCB, LF2, A105), stainless steel (SS304, SS316, F304L, F316L), hastelloy (Alloy 20) etc., or even in the trim material always use metallic materials. Most of the corrosion of metallic materials occurs in the atmosphere, which contains corrosive components and corrosive factors such as oxygen, humidity, temperature changes and pollutan...
