Compared with valves made of other materials, brass valves have the following advantages:
1. Good sealing performance: Brass valves adopt various sealing methods such as packing seal, elastic seal and involute seal, which can achieve good sealing effect at normal temperature and low pressure.
2. Strong corrosion resistance: The main components of brass valves are copper and zinc alloy, which have good corrosion resistance. It can resist general corrosive media, such as water, air, natural gas, etc., and also has certain corrosion resistance to some acid and alkali media.
3. Good high temperature performance: Brass valves can work at higher temperatures and can generally withstand temperatures above 100°C. This gives brass valves superior performance in some high-temperature applications.
4. Good wear resistance: Brass valves have good wear resistance and can withstand a certain degree of wear, reducing leakage and failure caused by wear.
5. Excellent processing performance: Brass material has excellent processing performance and can easily carry out milling, drilling, threading, etc., thereby controlling manufacturing costs and improving production efficiency.
It should be noted that brass valves also have some limitations, such as their limited application in special working conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. When selecting valves, according to the specific use environment and medium requirements, comprehensively consider the advantages and limitations of brass valves, and select valves made of other materials.
