Problems with fiberglass ball valves
Thread Content
Are there fiberglass ball valves available in the 1.0MP class?
Yes, there are FRP valves with a higher pressure rating than this one.
1.0 Mpa isn’t considered very high; nowadays, fiberglass pipes can handle pressures of over 3.2 Mpa, and valves naturally also have such capabilities
Of course, there are also valves with higher pressure.
Fiberglass ball valves are mainly used in environments where corrosion is a concern and where the pressure requirements are not high and frequent adjustments are not necessary. There are now models capable of withstanding 3.2 MPA or even higher pressures, but they are not widely used with flammable or explosive substances; extra consideration should be given to pressure tolerance in such cases.
