What Are the Materials used in Pneumatic Angle Seat Valves?

Understanding Pneumatic Angle Seat Valve

A pneumatic angle seat valve comprises several components: an indicator rod, actuator (cylinder), air inlet, valve stem, viewing window, spring, piston, piston ring, body seal, valve core, core seal, gasket, and valve body.

Among these, the actuator material plays a critical role in performance.

 

 

Common Actuator Materials

The three most common materials for pneumatic angle seat valve actuators are:

• Plastic
• Aluminum Alloy
• Stainless Steel

 

 

Pneumatic Angle Seat Valves Material Comparison

1. Plastic Actuators

Advantages: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and capable of withstanding temperatures from -30°C to +180°C. Easy to install and maintain.

Limitations: Lower heat resistance compared to aluminum and stainless steel.

2. Aluminum Alloy Actuators

Advantages: Excellent mechanical strength and lightweight design. Suitable for temperatures ranging from -30°C to +200°C. Offers moderate corrosion resistance.

Limitations: Higher cost than plastic, though more durable under elevated temperatures.

3. Stainless Steel Actuators

Advantages: Stainless Steel Actuators outstanding corrosion resistance and heat tolerance, making it ideal for extreme environments involving high temperature, high pressure, or aggressive media. Handles temperatures of -30°C to +200°C and beyond.

Limitations: Higher cost compared to plastic and aluminum alloy options.
