What is the difference between bronze ball valves and brass ball valves?


In the selection of ball valves want to choose about the bronze elements of the ball valve, but do not know what ball valve to choose, the following points of difference and advice hope to help you in different scenarios to choose bronze ball valves and brass ball valves.

Overview

Differences in material:

Bronze ball valves are mainly made of bronze, which usually includes copper, tin and small amounts of lead, zinc and other metal elements.

Brass ball valves are made of brass, which is mainly composed of copper and zinc, which are added in proportion to each other and usually include small amounts of lead and other elements.

Differences in usage:

Bronze ball valves are mainly used in the pipeline of corrosive media, such as acid and alkali liquids, seawater, salt water and so on. Due to the better corrosion resistance and toughness of bronze, it can be used in high concentration media, so bronze ball valves are widely used in marine engineering, petrochemical industry and other fields.

Brass ball valves are mainly used in some low-pressure areas, such as water supply, HVAC, water supply and drainage. Due to the relatively poor corrosion resistance of brass, so the use of corrosive media pipelines need to be careful.

Differences in feature:

Bronze ball valves are characterized by corrosion resistance, good sealing, simple structure, light operation and long life.

Brass ball valves, on the other hand, have the advantages of high temperature resistance, low cost, easy processing and manufacturing.

Advice on purchasing:

In the purchase of valves, according to the specific use of the occasion to choose the appropriate material and model. If the pipeline medium with acidic and alkaline or contains halogen elements, it is recommended to choose the ball valve made of bronze. If it is some low-pressure areas, such as ordinary water pipes, heating pipes, etc., you can choose brass material ball valves. In addition, also pay attention to the pressure level, connection mode and other factors to ensure that the purchase of the valve can meet the actual demand.
