Question! ! ! What type of ball valve should be used in a strong alkaline environment (50% NaOH, temperature 140°C)? Can 316L be used?

It works, no problem. This is how we use it here

Isn’t it nickel? The lifespan of 316L isn’t very long, is it?

Enameled material won’t work under these operating conditions; it’s not fair to mislead people

It is best to avoid using 316 stainless steel and ceramic, as strong alkalis are corrosive to these two materials; the corrosive effect on ceramic is particularly significant. If the temperature of the medium is slightly higher, the corrosion will intensify. It is recommended to use nickel or Hastelloy C for reliability.
