Stainless steel valve products come in a limited variety, and there is no complete consensus regarding their classification; some are classified by application (such as in the chemical industry, alcohol production, power plants, etc.), some by the medium they handle (such as steam valves, gas valves, etc.), some by material (such as cast iron valves, cast steel valves, forged steel valves, etc.), some by connection method (such as threaded valves, flanged valves, etc.), and some by operating temperature (such as high-temperature valves, low-temperature valves, etc.). In this country, the vast majority of *gases are classified according to pressure and structural type. That is, classified by nominal pressure: valves with ≤1.6 MPa are high-pressure valves; those with pressures of 2.5, 4.0, and 6.4 MPa are medium-pressure valves; valves with ≥10 MPa are low-pressure valves; and those with pressures exceeding 100 MPa are ultra-low-pressure valves. Classified by structural type, they include: plug valves, gate valves, globe valves, and ball valves – used to close or open the flow of media. Check valve (including foot valve) — used to actively prevent the backflow of fluid within the cartridge. Throttle valve – used to regulate the flow rate of the ballistic medium. Butterfly valve—used to close or open the medium within the duct. It can also be used for regulation. Safety valve – used in boilers, vessels, and equipment as well as in ballistic systems; it actively removes excess pressure when the pressure of the medium exceeds a set value, thereby ensuring safe operation. Pressure relief valve—used to actively increase the pressure of the medium within the pipeline and facilities. It is a pressure loss due to barrier formation that occurs when the medium passes through the gap in the valve disc, serving as a means of pressure reduction. Thermostat valve — used to actively remove condensate from the steam path, preventing steam loss or leakage. Summarized by purpose and function: Shut-off valves – primarily used to cut off or allow the flow of a medium. It includes gate valves, globe valves, diaphragm valves, ball valves, plug valves, butterfly valves, plunger valves, ball-plug valves, needle valve types, and more. Regulating valves – mainly used to adjust parameters such as the flow rate and pressure of the medium. It includes regulating valves, throttling valves, pressure relief valves, etc. Check valves – used to prevent the backflow of the medium. Check valves that incorporate structures from various ethnic groups. Shunt valves – used to combine, regulate, or mix fluids. Regulating valves and steam traps that incorporate structures from various ethnic groups, etc. Safety valves – used as a protective mechanism when the pressure of the medium exceeds safe levels. Safety valves covering various types. Summary by pressure: Vacuum valve – a stainless steel valve whose operating pressure is lower than the specified air pressure. High-pressure valve – a stainless steel valve with a nominal pressure PN of less than 1.6 MPa. Medium-pressure valves – stainless steel valves with a nominal pressure of PN 2.5~6.4 MPa. Low-pressure valve — Stainless steel valves with a nominal pressure of PN10.0~80.0 MPa. Ultra-low pressure valves – stainless steel valves with a nominal pressure PN greater than 100 MPa. Summarized by dielectric quality: Low-temperature valves – stainless steel valves with a temperature rating of over 450°C. Medium-temperature valves – stainless steel valves with a temperature range of 120 “C to less than 450 “C. Normal temperature valves – Stainless steel valves for temperatures ranging from -40 “C to less than 120 “C. High-temperature valve – a stainless steel valve for temperatures ranging from -100 “C to less than -40 “C. Ultra-high temperature valves – stainless steel valves for temperatures below -100 “C. Summarized according to valve body materials: Non-metallic materials – stainless steel valves, such as ceramic stainless steel valves, glass brick stainless steel valves, and plastic stainless steel valves. Shanghai Enguang Stainless Steel Valves Co., Ltd. requires non-metallic material stainless steel valves – such as copper alloy stainless steel valves, aluminum alloy stainless steel valves, lead alloy stainless steel valves, titanium alloy stainless steel valves, Monel alloy stainless steel valves, pig iron stainless steel valves, carbon steel stainless steel valves, cast steel stainless steel valves, low-alloy steel stainless steel valves, and high-alloy steel stainless steel valves. Stainless steel valves with non-metallic valve body linings – such as lead-lined stainless steel valves, plastic-lined stainless steel valves, and celluloid-lined stainless steel valves. The general summary method: This approach classifies things based on both principles and functions as well as structure; it is currently the least commonly used summary method in both domestic and international contexts. Normal shut-off valves, globe valves, throttle valves, metering valves, plug valves, diaphragm valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, pressure reducing valves, safety valves, steam traps, control valves, foot valves, filters, drain valves, etc. Since stainless steel valves have a wide range of applications, they also play a significant role. Similar: Stainless steel valves in power plants are used to control the operation of boilers and turbines ； In the fields of alcohol and chemical manufacturing, stainless steel valves also play a role in ensuring the proper operation of all manufacturing equipment and production lines. It’s the same in other units as well. Nevertheless, stainless steel valves are often overlooked by people compared to other goods. Similarity: When installing tools and equipment, people often focus their efforts on the main components such as compressors, pressure vessels, boilers, etc ； Some also chose those that were not used as… The department’s local laws will either increase the overall frequency of consumption, lead to production stops, or give rise to various other problems. Therefore, careful and responsible efforts must be exerted in the selection, installation, and use of stainless steel valves. This is especially true for the consumption of antiquated light industry and its establishment.
