What are the applications of cast iron valves in pipeline systems?
Cast iron valves are mainly used in the following aspects in pipeline systems:
Low-pressure pipelines: Because cast iron is relatively rigid but also brittle, cast iron valves are suitable for pipeline systems with lower pressures.
Normal temperature environment: Cast iron valves are usually used in water or gas pipelines under normal pressure and temperature, such as urban water supply systems, building fire protection systems, and heating systems to control the flow of hot water.
Fluid control: Valves are control components in fluid delivery systems. Cast iron valves can perform functions such as cutoff, regulation, and diversion to prevent reverse flow, stabilize pressure, divert flow, or overflow and pressure relief.
Corrosion resistance requirements: Gray cast iron valves have strong corrosion resistance and are suitable for occasions requiring corrosion resistance, such as steam systems, water systems and compressed air systems.
In addition, when selecting cast iron valves, you need to pay attention to the type and specifications of the valve. At the same time, you must also take into account the physical properties of the cast iron material. Cast iron valves are not suitable for high temperature or high pressure environments, so these should be fully considered during the design and installation process. factor.
In general, cast iron valves are widely used in pipeline systems, mainly used in low pressure and normal temperature environments to perform various fluid control functions. When selecting cast iron valves, the appropriate type and specifications should be selected based on specific engineering needs and environmental conditions to ensure the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system.
