Frequently Asked Questions
- FAQ Which seal material should I choose for steam?
For steam up to 180°C, PTFE is the standard choice. If the medium may contain oil or the temperature stays below 150°C, VITON offers better oil resistance. - FAQ What is the difference between pilot-operated and direct-acting?
Pilot-operated models need a minimum pressure differential of about 0.1 MPa and are more energy-efficient at larger sizes. Direct-acting models work from zero differential for low-pressure or gravity-fed lines. - FAQ Which body material is better, brass or stainless steel?
Brass suits general water, air and clean steam service and is economical. Stainless steel resists corrosion and suits aggressive media, humid environments or hygienic applications.
