Duplex Valve

Duplex valves combine high mechanical strength with corrosion resistance for demanding industries.

Industrial, marine, mining and oil & gas pipeline systems require valves capable of handling corrosive fluids, chloride-containing media and demanding pressure conditions. African Valve, an Duplex Valves Manufacturer in South Africa, provides duplex stainless steel valves designed for reliable isolation and flow control in severe-service applications. Duplex stainless steel combines austenitic and ferritic phases, providing a useful combination of high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Common valve grades include Duplex 2205 / UNS S31803 or S32205 / ASTM A182 F51 and Super Duplex 2507 / UNS S32750 / ASTM A182 F53
