For a regular floating valve tower, should CS or SS be chosen?
Thread Content
They can all be used in terms of process media. Are there any opinions on whether to choose cs or ss? Is it appropriate to choose CS for tray plates, liquid drop plates, etc., and SS for floating valves? Please give me some advice
Personally, I think that if cost is not a concern, it’s better to choose stainless steel for moving parts as it is more wear-resistant. Additionally, stainless steel is relatively smooth, so the floating valve is less likely to get stuck.
For tray plates, liquid dropping plates, etc., choose CS; for floating valves, choose SS: it’s ideal – it saves costs while ensuring optimal tower performance. If carbon steel is used for the floating valve, it is prone to wear and detachment; stainless steel is a better choice ； Welded components such as liquid dropping plates are made of the same material as the tower body ； The tray plates can be made of stainless steel or carbon steel. Stainless steel is more expensive but has a longer lifespan; carbon steel can reduce costs when corrosion is not an issue.
