What material are the valves in the compressor lubricating oil pipeline?
Carbon steel will do; stainless steel is used for higher-end applications.
Why is the material of the pipeline stainless steel, while the material of the valves is carbon steel?
Why is the material of the pipeline stainless steel, while the material of the valves is carbon steel?
The material of the pipeline is stainless steel, and the valves are also made of stainless steel; that’s usually the case.
What effects will there be if carbon steel valves are used for stainless steel pipelines (lubricating oil pipelines)?
There should be no problem either, as it’s lubricant and won’t rust.
The question is: are all the valves on such lubricant pipelines made of stainless steel? Will using carbon steel valves prevent rusting when the lubricating oil is depleted?
In other words, we need to avoid these problems during the design process
To avoid these problems, it should be the same as the material of the pipe.
