Commonly used materials for angle valves are copper, stainless steel, brass, cast iron and plastic. Each material has its own unique characteristics and scope of application. Today, Yuhuan Wanrong Copper Industry Co. Ltd. will give a detailed introduction.
Copper : Copper is one of the most common materials for angle panels, with good thermal conductivity, high strength and corrosion resistance. Copper angle valves are suitable for drinking water or other non-corrosive water pipes, but not for periods of corrosive elements such as acids and alkalies.
Stainless steel : Stainless steel angle valves have the advantages of corrosion resistance, high strength and long service life, and are suitable for a variety of buildings, plants and piping systems, especially high temperature and pressure conditions.
Brass: Brass angle valves have good strength, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and are relatively affordable. They are the preferred material for small and medium-sized pipeline systems.
Alloy steel: Alloy steel angle valves have extremely high temperature resistance and pressure resistance, and are suitable for high temperature and high pressure environments, but the price is relatively high and suitable for industrial fields.
Plastic: Plastic angle valves are lightweight and low-cost, suitable for specific occasions such as toilets and aquariums, but their reliability and durability are poor and need to be replaced regularly.
Advantages and disadvantages of different materials and applicable scenarios
Copper: The advantages are corrosion resistance and high strength; the disadvantage is high price. Suitable for non-corrosive water pipe systems such as drinking water.
Stainless steel: Advantages include corrosion resistance, high strength and longevity; the downside is high price. It is suitable for a variety of rooms, industries and high temperature and high pressure situations.
Brass: The advantages are affordable price and stable performance; the disadvantage is low price. Suitable for small and medium-sized pipeline systems.
Alloy steel: The advantages are temperature and pressure resistance; the disadvantage is high price. Suitable for industrial fields.
Plastic: The advantages are light weight and low cost; the disadvantage is poor durability. Suitable for specific occasions such as bathrooms, aquariums, etc.
