RuB COMPATIBILITY Table

RuB COMPATIBILITY Table:

 one useful  instrument to support your customers from A (as Acetaldehyde) till Z (as Zinc Sulfate!)

We are quite often asked about specific applications by our customers, questioning whether our valves are suitable for a certain use. The answer is sometime very easy to give according to our knowledge and experience, 

provided the question is very clear and the fluid, working/ambient temperature and working pressure as well as any specific information related to the application is noted.

For example, it’s clear that a brass ball valve can be suitable for certain use at 50°C while it cannot be at 300°C, or it can be used with 6 bar, while it can be perhaps  risky to use it at 50 bars; therefore, when asking about application suitability, temperature and pressure always have to be taken into consideration.

Provided  temperature and pressure rates are kept as indicated in the relevant datasheet, then of course the main topic is the fluid, which might also influence the pressure rating and temperature range.

The list of fluids that can pass through a ball valve is indeed extensive, and your customer may even use valves for an application you wouldn’t have ever thought about…    

In this case, the RuB compatibility table supports you by showing whether the materials used in the ball valves are compatible with the specific fluid: the table shows the rating of each material, with evaluation ranging from  ‘excellent (compatibility)’ to ‘do not use’.

In any case, for any very specific – special – unusual application,  we also suggest that you check the valves on field. Our Area Managers will be pleased to support you on this.
