Alloy 20 Valves

Alloy 20 Valves

African Valve is a trusted Alloy 20 Valves Manufacturer in South Africa, offering corrosion-resistant valve solutions designed to perform in environments with high concentrations of sulfuric acid, chlorides, and other aggressive chemicals. Engineered from austenitic nickel-iron-chromium alloy, Alloy 20 provides excellent resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for highly corrosive process applications.

Function & Working

Alloy 20 valves function like standard industrial valves but are built specifically to handle highly acidic or chloride-rich fluids. They regulate, isolate, or divert flow in chemical processing lines while ensuring corrosion protection and operational stability over time. Their metallurgy offers excellent mechanical strength and performance under fluctuating temperatures and pressures.

Advantages

  • Exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid and chloride corrosion

  • Ideal for handling nitric, phosphoric, and organic acids

  • Longer service life in corrosive conditions compared to stainless steel

  • Reduced maintenance costs in aggressive environments

  • Suitable for both high and low-pressure service
