Chemical service brings material compatibility and sealing into focus. Specify the fluid composition, concentration and operating range before choosing a valve.
Selection considerations
- Identify the chemical composition and concentration of the medium.
- Confirm operating and design temperature and pressure.
- Review body, lining, trim and sealing compatibility.
- Specify isolation or control duty and required actuation.
