Industrial chemical, petrochemical and process systems require valves capable of handling highly corrosive fluids, acids, chlorides and other aggressive media. African Valve, an Hastelloy Valves Manufacturer in Nigeria, provides Hastelloy valves designed for reliable isolation and flow control in severe corrosion applications. Hastelloy is a family of nickel-based alloys containing varying amounts of chromium, molybdenum and other alloying elements, offering strong resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking and chemical attack.
Hastelloy Valves Features
- Excellent corrosion resistance - For severe chemical services
- Pitting & crevice resistance - Suitable for chloride-containing media
- Chemical resistance - Suitable for selected acids and aggressive fluids
- Stress-corrosion resistance - Suitable for selected severe environments
- High-temperature capability - Grade and service dependent
- Reliable isolation - For process pipelines and equipment
- Multiple valve types - Gate, globe, ball, check, butterfly and plug
- Flexible operation - Manual, gearbox, pneumatic or electric
