What's the difference between a copper ball valve and a stainless steel ball valve?

What's the difference between a copper ball valve and a stainless steel ball valve?

Answer:

Professional definition of copper ball valve:The copper ball valve itself is compact, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, sealing surface and spherical often in the closed state, the media can not easily be eroded, easy operation and maintenance for water, solvents, acids, and natural gas general working media, but also applies to poor working conditions of media, such as oxygen hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene, widely used in various industries. Ball valve body can be integrated, or can be combination.Stainless steel ball valve professional definition:The main characteristics of stainless steel ball valve itself is compact, easy operation and maintenance, stainless steel ball valve can be used to control air, water, steam, all kinds of corrosive media, mud, oil, metals and radioactive liquid media and other types of fluid flow. Ball valve body can be integrated, or can be combination. This kind of valve should be installed horizontally in the pipeline. Stainless steel ball valve classification: stainless steel pneumatic ball valve, stainless steel electric ball valve, stainless steel manual ball valve. Stainless steel ball valve is divided into 304316321 stainless steel ball valve.
The difference between copper ball valve and stainless steel ball valve:1, they use the material is completely different, steel ball valve adopts copper, stainless steel ball valve is stainless steel.2, copper ball valve corrosion resistance is excellent, switch operation is smooth, labor-saving, durable without leakage. Stainless steel will not cause corrosion, pitting corrosion, corrosion or wear, and high temperature resistance. The average stainless steel is more expensive.3, according to the same pressure environment, the price is stainless steel cheaper, and copper ball valve medium temperature is much higher than the stainless steel ball valve, if the medium temperature is too high. Copper ball valve must be used! If the medium temperature is not more than 80 degrees. With stainless steel ball valve on it
Copper ball valve corrosion resistance is excellent, switch operation is smooth, labor-saving, durable without leakage.Stainless steel will not cause corrosion, pitting corrosion, corrosion or wear, and high temperature resistance.The average stainless steel is more expensive
