The metal valve has a long history. As its name implies, it is made of metal material. With its development, it is widely used in all kinds of sectors. However, due to the restriction of metal material, it still can not satisfy some harsh working requirements. Generally speaking, the shortcomings of metal valve are mainly reflected through two aspects, namely short service life and poor seal property. In order to satisfy high working requirements the traditional metal valve should be completely improved. For example, people can improve the property of valve through selecting other materials.
As a kind of new material in the 21st century, the advanced ceramic material has been concerned by more and more scientists. Especially in recent years, the advanced ceramic material is very active in different sectors, such as oil industry, chemical industry and mechanical industry. In face of this phenomenon, people may spontaneously ask why the advanced ceramic material can become popular. Honestly speaking, the wide application has a close relationship with features of the ceramic material. Compared with metal material, the deformation of ceramic material is not easily produced. In addition, its tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness are also greater than those of metal material. On basis of the above-mentioned features, to apply the ceramic material into valve industry may be a beneficial innovation.
If scientists really apply the advanced ceramic material into valve industry, the ceramic valve must have large potential market and social economy benefit. First, the seal element, made of this advanced ceramic, can raise the abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and seal quality. At the same time, the service life of the valve is greatly prolonged. Second, the ceramic valve can greatly improve the safety and stability of equipment operation system. Third, the wide application of ceramic valves can prevent the leakage and thus plays a positive role in environmental protection. Fourth, the wide application of Ceramic Valve can save a lot of metal materials and mineral resources. Fifth, ceramic valves can be widely used in the harsh working conditions. They are quite applicable for the following industrial sectors, such as oil, electricity, metallurgy and sewage treatment.
All in all, with the development of science and technology, the ceramic material will tend to be mature and the advantages of ceramic valve will be recognized by users. At the same time, the valve will be applied by more and more sectors.
