A CF3M valve is a high-performance industrial valve made from CF3M stainless steel, which is a cast version of 316L stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, outstanding mechanical properties and good weldability. CF3M has high resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for applications such as chemical processing, food and beverage, and oil and gas.
As a custom valve manufacturer, our CF3M material valves are typically available in a variety of configurations, including CF3m ball, gate, globe, and check valves, providing efficient, long-lasting solutions for fluid control systems.
A floating ball valve features a ball that is not fixed but held in place by the compression of two elastomeric seats against it. This design allows the ball to float slightly downstream, ensuring a tight seal. It's commonly used for low to medium-pressure applications in various industries.
Corrosion resistance: CF3M stainless steel provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for applications involving corrosive fluids and environments.
Low carbon content: The low carbon content of CF3M stainless steel reduces the risk of sensitization and intergranular corrosion, maintaining its corrosion resistance properties.
Mechanical properties: CF3M stainless steel retains good mechanical strength, toughness, and durability, ensuring reliable valve performance.
Weldability: CF3M stainless steel is easily weldable, allowing for the fabrication and assembly of valves with strong and leak-resistant joints.
CF3M stainless steel has good resistance to high temperatures. However, the specific temperature limits will depend on the application and the duration of exposure to elevated temperatures. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines to ensure the CF3M material valves are suitable for the intended temperature range.
