Stainless steel solenoid valves are essential for applications requiring durability and resistance to corrosion. Made from highly durable stainless steel, these valves can withstand harsh chemical environments and high temperatures, making them ideal for industries where hygiene and sanitation are paramount, such as food and beverage processing and pharmaceutical production. Their resistance to bacteria and ease of cleaning further enhance their suitability for these applications.
Some common uses for stainless steel solenoid valves include:
- Pharmaceutical production
- Food and beverage processing
- Chemical processing
On the other hand, brass solenoid valves are known for their versatility, durability, and affordability. Made from a mixture of copper and zinc, brass valves can endure high temperatures and corrosive environments. They are also easy to machine and manufacture with tight tolerances, making them suitable for precise control applications.
Common applications for brass solenoid valves include:
- Water treatment
- Heating and cooling systems
- Agricultural irrigation
Both brass and stainless steel solenoid valves offer unique benefits for different applications, making it crucial to select the appropriate material based on the specific needs of the job. Generally, brass solenoid valves are ideal for applications where cost-effectiveness and versatility are important, while stainless steel solenoid valves excel in scenarios where durability and corrosion resistance are critical.
The N2S series of process valves offers:
- Port sizes from 3/8NPT to 2NPT
- 2-way (2-port, 2-position) operation
- Normally closed operation (power on to start media flow)
