valve materials
3 in-depth engineering guides on valve materials — specification, selection, testing and procurement.
Everything on valve materials
Vajra's engineering team has published 3 technical guides covering valve materials for industrial valve selection, specification, testing and procurement. Browse the full set below.
Valve Material Compatibility Guide - Chemical vs Material Selection
Selecting the wrong valve material for a chemical service leads to corrosion, leakage, and catastrophic failure - this guide maps key chemicals to compatible valve body and seat materials.
Valve Body Material Selection Guide: WCB, CF8M, SS 316L, Duplex, Hastelloy - When to Use Each
Choosing the wrong valve body material is the most expensive procurement mistake in process plant design. This guide walks through the five main categories: carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, nickel alloy, and lined - and when each is the right choice.
Industrial Valve Materials Guide: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel and Exotic Alloys
Selecting the right valve material is critical to safety, longevity, and total cost of ownership. This guide covers all common valve body and trim materials - from carbon steel WCB to exotic Hastelloy and Inconel - with applications, temperature limits, and ASTM designations.
