Why Polymer material?

The corrosion resistance of metals is generally determined in still fluids. But at high flow speeds and in the presence of turbulence, a process known as “erosion induced corrosion” starts destroying even the so-called “corrosion resistant” metals. In such situation, solid polymers offer an economic solution that will outperform even “special metals” and other exotic materials.

Polymers are not equal when it comes to resisting high flow velocities, turbulence and erosion, as well as chemical attack. The table here shows the abrasion resistance of several polymers, as determined by the “TABER” ASTM D4060 test (wheel CS-10). Materials which resist best to erosion have the lowest figure on this table: the lower, the better. Note that PVDF has a better resistance than stainless steel.

Taber Abraser

Apart from polyamid, which cannot be used because of its low chemical resistance, the best abrasion resistant material is PVDF. This material should be preferred for all parts of the valve making up the “Vena contracta”. When PVDF cannot be used for chemical reason, such as in concentrated hydroxides, then PPH and ECTFE are acceptable alternatives.

It is readily seen that PTFE, which has the lowest abrasion resistance of all polymers, is the worst choice for contact with the flow in the Vena Contracta. However, because of its almost universal chemical resistance, PTFE is often found as a liner in control valves, either globe valves or diaphragm valves. Such valves suffer a fast deterioration of the flow throttling parts, such as discs, seats, diaphragms etc.

Ball features

Standard ball for SAFI valve
Standard ball for SAFI valve
Type O ball for SAFI valve
Type C ball for SAFI valve

Standard
PPGF, DN80(3″) – DN150(6″)
PPH, DN15(1/2″) – DN50(2″)

Standard 
PVDF, DN15(1/2″) – DN150(6″)

Type O
Ball with pressure relief hole

Type C
Ball with cut out, prevents pressure bulid-up, and allow a communication between the dead zones and flowing fluid when the valve is open, this is to reduce the deposits as less as possible in the dead zones.

Actuator

Non-metallic components are preferred for corrosive environments. Hence, Techlink valves come with corrosion resistant accessories. Techlink engineers have experienced the best results with the Max-air (Italy) Rack and pinion actuator 
It has light weight, no extra support needed

All Techlink designs can be adjusted to customer specifications.
