COMPONENT GUIDE

Valve body

Pressure boundary of an isolation or regulating valve

Forms the drawing-defined pressure boundary, flow passages and seat interfaces.

Manufacturing & delivery form
Valve-body casting with agreed connection and seat-region machining.

Valve configuration and material are separate decisions; complete-valve leakage performance depends on design and assembly.

Material candidates

UNS C83600 Leaded red brass

A candidate for specified pump, valve and fitting castings.

Candidate for drawing review only. Contains lead; potable-water suitability must not be assumed. Zhiren availability is unconfirmed.

UNS C90500 Tin bronze

A candidate for drawing-specified pump, valve and friction components.

Candidate for drawing review only. Confirm medium, loading, manufacturing condition and the governing standard. Zhiren availability is unconfirmed.

EN CC491K Leaded gunmetal

An EN-designated option for specified pump or valve castings.

Candidate for drawing review only. Confirm the exact standard and service; it is not automatically equivalent to C83600. Zhiren availability is unconfirmed.

UNS C95800 Nickel aluminium bronze

A candidate for specified saline-water and wear components.

Candidate for drawing review only. Review water chemistry, flow, mating metals and casting condition; no corrosion or cavitation guarantee. Zhiren availability is unconfirmed.

Confirm the drawing, actual duty, material standard and manufacturing condition. Material substitutions require customer approval, and supply scope is agreed after component review.

Component RFQ requirements

Valve geometry
Valve type, passage, wall sections, bonnet register and seat datums.
Connections
Flange or thread standard, face dimensions, gasket and sealing features.
Medium & testing
Fluid composition, design pressure and temperature, corrosion conditions and agreed pressure/leak acceptance.
Material specification
Alloy grade, governing standard and revision, manufacturing condition and any restricted substances.
Order & acceptance
Approved drawing revision, quantity, blank or machined delivery, inspection criteria and required records.

Start with your drawing, specified alloy and quantity. Include the required delivery condition and acceptance records so the manufacturing and inspection scope can be reviewed.
