Material compatibility is crucial to prevent valve failure. Common materials used include stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialized alloys like Hastelloy. Each material has its advantages and drawbacks:
- Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of chemicals. - Carbon Steel: More cost-effective but less resistant to corrosive substances. - Hastelloy: Highly resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, ideal for harsh environments but more expensive.
Conduct a thorough analysis of the chemical properties of all substances involved in the process to choose the appropriate material.
