Stainless Steel Valves

Stainless steel valves are arguably the industry's most versatile and widely used valves due to their favourable physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Made from an alloy containing iron, chromium and nickel, stainless steel valves have mechanical strength and corrosion resistance that is exceptionally beneficial for their durability in harsh environments – making them suitable materials for use with a wide variety of liquids and gases. Adding molybdenum or titanium to the mix can further enhance the already impressive characteristics of stainless steel valve components, especially when handling chlorides or extreme temperatures. Unsurprisingly, these valves are popular among engineers seeking quality performance in challenging working conditions.

Stainless steel valves are incredibly useful in many industries due to their chemical and mechanical properties. Specific Grades of stainless steel, such as SS316 and SS347L, have excellent corrosion resistance making them perfect for use in industrial applications where the valves come into contact with harsh chemicals. The superior mechanical strength makes stainless steel valves ideal for carrying gas and fluids at higher pressures than most other metals. On top of these qualities, Stainless Steel Valves offer great value due to their overall durability. All these factors make them the go-to choice for a wide variety of installation types.
