Valve operating temperature classification is divided according to the temperature range in which the valve can work safely and reliably. Different valve materials and designs are suitable for different temperature environments.
Valve corrosion is a common problem in the use of valves, especially in corrosive environments such as chemical, petroleum, and ocean. Corrosion not only shortens the service life of valves, but may also cause leakage, equipment damage, and even safety accidents.
Keeping it Clean: The Vital Role of Sanitary Valves in Chemical Plants
Chemical plants are complex environments, handling a vast array of substances, many of which are highly corrosive, reactive, or require strict purity standards. Maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination is paramount, not just for product quality but also for safety and regulatory compliance. This is where sanitary valves play a crucial, yet often overlooked, role.
Unlike standard industrial valves, sanitary valves are specifically designed to minimize crevices, dead spaces, and other areas where bacteria, product residues, or contaminants can accumulate. This makes them essential for processes involving sensitive chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing within chemical plants (like additives or preservatives), and other applications where hygiene is critical.
What sets Sanitary Valves apart?
Several key features distinguish sanitary valves from their industrial counterparts:
