FAQ's

Why are bronze valves commonly used in marine and shipbuilding applications?

Bronze offers superior resistance to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for seawater cooling lines, ballast systems, and bilge piping on ships and offshore platforms.

Are bronze valves suitable for drinking water systems?

Yes, when manufactured from approved alloys such as LG2 or lead-free bronze, these valves are widely used in potable water networks and are often WRAS-certified for safety and compliance.

Can bronze valves handle steam and high-temperature HVAC systems?

Absolutely. Bronze valves, especially those with PTFE or Viton seals, are suitable for handling steam and hot water in heating systems, typically up to 150°C depending on the valve type.

What makes bronze valves a good choice for industrial fluid systems?

Bronze combines mechanical strength with chemical resistance, making it well-suited for systems transporting water, oils, compressed air, and light chemicals under moderate pressure.

Can bronze valves be used in offshore oil and gas platforms?

Yes, bronze valves—particularly aluminium bronze variants—are ideal for offshore environments due to their high resistance to salt spray, seawater, and aggressive atmospheric conditions.

How do bronze valves compare to stainless steel in marine environments?

While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, bronze (especially aluminium bronze) is often preferred in seawater applications due to its superior resistance to dezincification and biofouling.

Are bronze valves compatible with chemical dosing systems?

Bronze can handle light chemicals and is suitable for certain chemical dosing applications, but compatibility depends on the specific media—always consult chemical resistance charts.

What pressure ratings are typical for industrial bronze valves?

Most industrial-grade bronze valves are rated from PN16 up to PN25, or 300–600 psi, depending on design. Always confirm the pressure and temperature limits on the valve data sheet.
