Introduction for choosing the right material of electric valves

The selection of the material of the electric actuator valve is very important. The correct selection can make the valve work for a long period of time without failure. Valves have many types, such as: ball valve, butterfly valve,gate valve, globe valve, plug valve, control valve, etc.And according to the structure, those valves can be generally divided into valve body, valve disc,valve seat, bonnet and packing.
