What are the differences between carbon steel ball valves and copper ball valves? Carbon steel ball valve manufacturers to share.
1. Materials
Carbon steel ball valve is mainly made of iron and carbon, there is a little other things inside; Copper ball valves mainly use copper, and there will be a small amount of other elements.
2, corrosion resistance
Carbon steel ball valve can be used in general water and air environments, but it is easy to rust and break when encountering strong acids and alkalis; The ball valve is very corrosion resistant, especially in the water performance is very good, can be used to transport some corrosive liquids.
3, hardness and pressure resistance
Carbon steel ball valve is relatively hard, can withstand a lot of pressure and impact, in the case of high pressure, high temperature can also work normally; Copper ball valve is not so hard, but the sealing is good, can meet the general pressure of the pipeline switch control, more suitable for the pressure is not too high.
4. Look different
The surface color of carbon steel ball valve is generally black or gray, looking dark; The color of the copper ball valve is golden or purple, shiny.
5, good processing
Carbon steel ball valve because of hard, processing a little troublesome, need good technology and equipment; Brass ball valve soft, it is easier to make a variety of shapes, can be done very fine.
6. Price difference
Carbon steel ball valve materials are common, it is not difficult to do, so the price is cheaper; Copper ball valve materials are expensive, processing is not simple, the price is higher than carbon steel ball valve.
7. Use
Carbon steel ball valve used in petroleum, chemical, electric power these industries, control the flow of various liquids; Ball valves are more used in water pipes, heating pipes, air conditioning, and natural gas pipelines at home.
