What Materials Are Used for Floating Ball Valves in Catalysis?
The choice of materials for floating ball valves in catalytic applications depends on the nature of the reactants and operating conditions. Common materials include:
- Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of temperatures. - PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Used for seats due to its excellent chemical resistance and low friction. - Ceramic Coatings: Provide additional wear resistance for abrasive catalysts.
