Valve material and application (code, temperature, pressure, medium corresponding to the material)

Valves are indispensable components in various industrial fields. The proper application of valve materials directly affects the service life of the valve and the safe operation of production. For example, corrosion-resistant materials are mostly used in harsh production environments. How to apply these materials correctly and give full play to the functions of the materials to adapt to the requirements of the corresponding working conditions is very important.

The relationship between valve material and temperature and pressure

1. The operating temperature of the valve The operating temperature of the valve is determined by the material of the valve. The service temperature of commonly used materials for valves is as follows:

-15~250℃

Malleable cast iron valve

-15~250℃

Ductile iron valve

-30~350℃

High nickel cast iron valve

The highest operating temperature is 400℃

Carbon steel valve

-29~450℃, in JB/T3595-93

Recommended operating temperature in the standard t<425℃

1Cr5Mo, alloy steel valve

The highest operating temperature is 550℃

12Cr1MoVA, alloy steel valve

The highest operating temperature is 570℃

1Cr18Ni9Ti, 1Cr18Ni12Mo2Ti stainless steel valve

-196~600℃

Copper alloy valve

-273~250℃

Plastic valve (nylon)

Maximum operating temperature 100℃

Plastic valve (chlorinated polyether)

Maximum operating temperature 100℃

Plastic valve (polyvinyl chloride)

Maximum operating temperature 60℃

Plastic valve (polytrifluorochloroethylene)

-60~120℃

Plastic valve (PTFE)

-180~150℃

Plastic valve (natural rubber diaphragm valve)

Maximum operating temperature 60℃

Plastic valve (nitrile rubber, neoprene diaphragm valve)

Maximum operating temperature 80℃

Plastic valve (fluorine rubber diaphragm valve)

Maximum use temperature 200℃

When rubber or plastic is used for valve lining, the temperature resistance of rubber and plastic shall prevail.

Ceramic valves, due to their poor temperature resistance, are generally used in working conditions below 150°C. Recently, a super-performance ceramic valve appeared, which can withstand high temperatures below 1000°C.

Glass valve. It has poor temperature resistance and is generally used in working conditions below 90°C.

The temperature resistance of the enamel valve is limited by the material of the sealing ring, and the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 150℃.

2. The pressure used by the valve

The operating pressure of the valve is determined by the material used to manufacture the valve.

3. The relationship between valve temperature and pressure


The valve operating temperature and pressure have a certain internal connection and influence each other. Among them, temperature is the dominant factor affecting the valve. A valve with a certain pressure is only suitable for a certain temperature range, such as forged C95800 ball valve can be for normal temperature seawater and changes in valve temperature can affect the valve's operating pressure.


For example: the nominal pressure of a carbon steel valve is 10MPa, when the medium working temperature is 200℃, its maximum working pressure P20 is 10MPa; when the medium working temperature is 400℃, its maximum working pressure P40 is 5.4MPa; when the working temperature of the medium is 450℃, its maximum working pressure P20 is 4.5MPa.
