How high can wear-resistant ball valves withstand temperatures?
Wear resistant ball valves are an important type of valve widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, power, and metallurgy. Its main feature is durability and the ability to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and other conditions. So, how high can wear-resistant ball valves withstand temperatures?
Firstly, it should be clarified that the temperature that wear-resistant ball valves can withstand is determined by both their material and sealing material. Common wear-resistant ball valve materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, titanium alloy, etc., while sealing materials include fluororubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, etc.

From the perspective of materials, the ability of different materials to withstand high temperatures varies. Generally speaking, metal materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel have a wide temperature range and can withstand high temperatures up to 600 ℃. Alloy steel materials can withstand higher temperatures, usually around 800 ℃. Titanium alloy is a high-temperature resistant material that can withstand temperatures above 1000 ℃.
However, it should be noted that under high temperature conditions, the strength and hardness of the material will decrease, making it prone to deformation, embrittlement, and other issues. Therefore, even for high-temperature resistant materials, it is necessary to determine the appropriate temperature range for use based on specific working conditions.
In addition, sealing materials also play an important role in the high-temperature resistance of wear-resistant ball valves. Generally speaking, materials such as fluororubber and polytetrafluoroethylene have good sealing performance under high temperature conditions and can withstand corrosion and wear at high temperatures. However, the temperature range for using materials such as polypropylene is relatively limited, usually below 100 ℃.
In summary, the temperature range that wear-resistant ball valves can withstand is determined by both the material and sealing material. In practical operation, manufacturers of bidirectional hard sealed butterfly valves need to consider issues such as material strength, deformation, and brittleness, and choose appropriate materials and sealing materials to ensure the normal operation of wear-resistant ball valves in high-temperature environments.
