FHT Valves - Bronze Valves

SHARE

Bronze is not a pure metal, but rather an alloy known as “copper-based” or “non-ferrous” and is composed mainly of copper and tin, although aluminium, lead, zinc or nickel can also be added to achieve performance and quality suitable for different industrial uses. Given the high durability of bronze, the use of bronze valves guarantees high profitability, as they have a very long service life, as well as minimal maintenance, which generates the consequent cost savings. Bronze can be recycled an almost unlimited number of times without losing its mechanical properties, it is a completely environmentally friendly material.

DURABILITY AND RESISTANCE

Bronze offers great resistance to corrosion, wear and even to the action of non-oxidising acids. All of this makes it the ideal material for hydraulic equipment, as well as valves, pumps, bushings, pistons, gears, ring gears, bushings, clutch discs, springs, etc. in both the maritime and automotive sectors.

On the other hand, since  bronze is a material that does not rust, as it contains an insignificant amount of iron, it is the optimal material for the manufacture of valves used in aggressive environments such as those caused by sea water. Due to this, this type of valve is in great demand in the naval sector.

SECTORS OF APPLICATION OF BRONZE VALVE

The main sectors requiring FHT bronze valves are naval, petrochemical, sanitation and industrial. However, given the noble characteristics of this alloy, bronze valves are also applicable to sectors as diverse as nuclear, offshore or energy, among others.
