A butterfly valve is a type of quarter turn valve. A quarter turn valve can open or close whenever the handle is turned 90 degrees (a quarter of a turn). The main function of these valves is to control the flow of liquids through a section of pipe. Butterfly valves are mainly used in waste treatment systems. They are extremely durable and need minimal maintenance.

Stainless steel is also known as “inox steel,” meaning that it is an alloy with a chromium content of at least 10.5%. There are a wide range of applications for stainless steel in household items, cutlery, surgical instruments, appliances, transportation, and industrial equipment. Reliance Foundry’ castings, bollards, rails, and racks also use stainless steel to meet various customer needs. Stainless steel is often used in casting applications to create parts for buildings, bridges, and skyscrapers that highlight aesthetics, ensure structural integrity, and resist oxidation due to harsh weather conditions. 316 stainless steel has molybdenum added to its alloy content during production. Molybdenum provides an even higher degree of corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel. This is an advantage for objects that require resistance to extreme environmental conditions such as salt water, de-icing salts, brine solutions, or other chemical forms of chemical exposure. In laboratory and pharmaceutical settings, 316 stainless steel excels in resistance to acids, bromides, and iodides at high temperature.
Pipe fittings come in various sizes, materials, design to match the piping system they are being installed on. They can be used to change the direction of flow, connect pipes to one another, close off the end of a pipe, or join pipes of different sizes. The different kind of fittings are:
Maintenance is generally throughout all kinds of industries an important topic. A famous example is the car industry: You have to get your car regularly to the garage for check-ups and maintenance if needed. The ball valve industry is no exception to this. Valves have to be maintained in order to keep it functioning. In times like these, maintenance is playing a more important role than perhaps before. Maintaining a valve, instead of replacing or re-designing, can sometimes be very cost effective for the end users.
