Temperature Limit of Valves’ Material

The valve can be divided into ball valve, butterfly valve, gate valve, globe valve and check valve, etc. The body material selection is very important for the use of the valve. The valve body material should be selected according to the nature of the medium and the condition of temperature and flow to determine (the particle, two-phase flow, etc.). The user is required to put forward the valve main material, Especially under the special conditions or harsh conditions. In most cases, the body material is the same or slightly higher than the pipeline material.

The body materials contain cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel,etc. Cast iron and ductile iron valves are usually used for low pressure valve. Carbon steel has a good temperature resistance up to 425 degrees, and it is a universal economic material.

The table show as below includes the temperature limit of the common body material, and users could choose the material you need as reference.
