Valve Body Brief Introduction

Valve body is the main components of a valve, which serves as the outer shell of the valve and supports and protects the internal parts of the valve. The material and structure of the valve body have a significant impact on the performance and service life of the valve.

The valve body materials commonly includes cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, copper alloy, and engineering plastics. Cast iron is cost less but have poor strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for low-pressure, low-temperature, non-corrosive place. Cast steel valve bodies have good strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive media. Stainless steel valve bodies have good corrosion resistance and strength, suitable for applications with high hygiene requirements. Copper alloy valve bodies have good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, suitable for applications with high thermal conductivity requirements. Plastic valve bodies are widely used in industrial and medical fields. Kanou Precision specializes in the CNC high-end parts and has rich processing experience in stainless steel, copper alloy, and plastic valve bodies.

The valve body structure are also varies, with common types including straight-through, angle, three-way, and four-way. Kanou Precision often deals with unusual valve bodies because most of them are customized. The structure also varies according to the position of use and coordination. Kanou Precision has gained customer favor and continued cooperation through years of processing experience.?

In addition to materials and structure, the processing technology and surface treatment of the valve body also have a significant impact on the performance and service life of the valve. The processing technology of the valve body needs to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish to ensure the sealing and flow of the valve. Most common valve bodies require anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation measures to extend the service life of the valve. However, Kanou Precision’s customers are mostly in special industrial and medical fields, so most of them do not require surface treatment. In this case, the surface finish requirements are very high.

In summary, the valve body is an important component of the valve, and its material, structure, processing technology, and surface treatment all have a significant impact on the performance and service life of the valve. Kanou Precision specializes in processing irregular and difficult-to-process parts with high precision and fast turnaround time. Inquiries are welcome.
