Enameled steel reactor discharge valve
Thread Content
Everyone, is it necessary to use glass-lined down-flow valves or up-flow valves for glass-lined reaction kettles and glass-lined storage tanks? Can glass-lined ball valves or fluorinated ball valves be used instead?
Glass-lined reaction vessels and glass-lined storage tanks usually require glass-lined down-flow valves or up-flow valves. This is because the glass-lined down-flow valves and up-flow valves possess excellent corrosion resistance, which allows them to effectively prevent the reactive materials from corroding the valves. Enameled ball valves and fluorinated ball valves can also serve as alternative options; they offer good corrosion resistance, but in certain special situations they may not be as stable and reliable as enamelled ball valves. The specific valve to be selected should be determined based on the actual process conditions and the properties of the medium; it is recommended to follow the technical guidance provided by the manufacturer or consult a professional engineer for making the choice. .
Many discharge valves are fluorine-lined valves.
As long as the material grade is better than that of enamel, it’s fine to replace it without any problems
