Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves

Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves are advanced control instruments used in processes that require handling of corrosive fluids or working under high pressure. These valves have a strong and durable construction made of stainless steel with an interior lining of PTFE, making them chemically, abrasion and high-temperature resistant. Using stainless steel and PTFE makes the valves durable and have a long working period since the valves can handle most of the corrosive materials without getting affected.

Features of Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves

Stainless steel PTFE lined valves are developed to combine the features of the two construction materials. 

• Corrosion Resistance: The PTFE lining makes the flask highly resistant to various corrosive chemicals, strong acids and solvents that may harm the stainless steel material used to make the flask's body.
• High-Temperature Capability: PTFE does not melt and can handle high temperature making these valves ideal for hot fluids.
• Low Friction: PTFE has less friction because of its non-stick surface, which makes operation easier and also improves the valve's flow characteristics.
• Durability: Stainless steel offers tensile strength and structure, while the PTFE lining ensures that the equipment will not wear out easily due to aggressive fluids.
• Chemical Inertness: PTFE is chemically non-reactive and does not react with most of the fluids to be transported, thus maintaining the purity of the fluids in the process.
• Ease of Maintenance: PTFE's non-stick characteristic makes the valves more easily cleaned, thus saving time on maintenance and increasing productivity.
• Wide Range of Sizes and Configurations: Stainless steel PTFE-lined valves are available in different sizes and types, including ball valves, butterfly valves and gate valves, to meet particular requirements.

These characteristics make the stainless steel PTFE lined valves suitable for use in challenging conditions.

Applications of Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves

Stainless steel PTFE lined valves are used in different industries. 

• Chemical Processing: Stainless steel PTFE lined valves are applied in applications where the media contains corrosive chemicals, acids  and solvents for safe and reliable control of fluids.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves are used in activities that need high levels of cleanliness and purity, including in handling APIs and other delicate products.
• Food and Beverage: Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves are used in food processing and the production of beverages where hygiene and resistance to abrasive cleaning solutions is critical in the production of quality foodstuffs.
• Oil and Gas: These lined valves are used in pipelines and processing facilities for transporting crude oil, natural gas and other products.
• Water Treatment: Chemical dosing systems for water treatment processes, including chlorine injection and controlling the pH level of water, provide safe carriage of treatment chemicals.
• Pulp and Paper Industry: Stainless Steel PTFE Lined Valves are used in processes containing harsh chemical agents used in bleaching and other treatments to guarantee the effectiveness and durability of the system.
• Mining and Metallurgy: These valves are used to transport slurry, acid and other aggressive chemicals used to process ores and minerals.
• Power Generation: These valves are applied in systems such as cooling water and chemical used in water treatment industries for dependable control under severe conditions.

These applications show how stainless steel PTFE lined valves are suitable for use in different harsh conditions and are crucial in many industries.
