Can ball valves not be used in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions?
There is a limit to high temperatures, and valves also have requirements regarding the temperature at which they can be used. Compared to normal temperature, Baidu, Qiandu, and all such temperatures are considered high temperatures. It is better to choose based on the applicable temperature of the valve.
It can be used in high temperature and high pressure environments, but it requires high standards regarding the material of the valve body, as well as the material of the valve seat balls and their surface treatment; if the wrong materials are chosen, the lifespan of the valve will be very short
What temperature do you mean by high temperature?
It’s possible; it’s just different from ordinary materials used
This is related to your temperature and pressure – what is the maximum temperature, and what is the maximum pressure?
Generally, for high temperature and high pressure conditions, a hard-sealed fixed ball valve may be chosen
It can be used in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions; the appropriate material is selected based on those conditions. It should be noted that in such conditions, only hard-sealed ball valves can be used
For small diameters, a hard-sealed floating ball valve can be used; for diameters of DN150 and above, a fixed ball valve is generally preferred
There’s no such thing; high-temperature valves usually use hard-sealed ball valves, and the temperature tolerance of a valve depends mainly on its material.
