What types of valves should be selected for water, steam, oil products and corrosive media respectively?

The valve selection principles corresponding to different media are as follows:

  • Water (normal temperature and low pressure) : Gate valves or butterfly valves are preferred as they are cost-effective and have low flow resistance. The soft-sealed butterfly valves of Viti Valves are widely used in water treatment projects.

  • Steam (high temperature and high pressure) : A stop valve or bellows sealed gate valve must be used to avoid the risk of leakage. Vitti's bellows stop valve is a mature solution for power station steam pipelines.

  • Oil products (flammable media) : Ball valves or hard-sealed butterfly valves are recommended for their fast emergency shut-off speed. Viti's fireproof ball valves (API 607 certified) are suitable for oil storage and transportation.

  • Strong corrosive media (acid/alkali) : Fluorine-lined valves or titanium alloy valves should be selected. Vitet can provide customized fluorine-lined valves with longer corrosion resistance and service life.

Key principle: First determine the medium and temperature, then the type and material of the valve. Viti Valve engineers can provide free targeted selection suggestions.
