Why Choose Ductile Iron?
-
Exceptional Strength and Durability
Ductile iron offers superior tensile strength and impact resistance compared to other materials like cast iron or steel. This makes it highly reliable for butterfly valves that need to endure high-pressure environments and harsh operational conditions over long periods without failure.
-
Corrosion Resistance and Longevity
Ductile iron has excellent corrosion resistance when coated, especially in water and wastewater applications. It offers better long-term performance in corrosive environments, ensuring the butterfly valve maintains efficiency and requires less frequent replacement or maintenance.
-
Cost-Effective and Lightweight
Compared to materials like stainless steel, ductile iron provides a more affordable solution without compromising on strength or durability. Additionally, it is lighter than cast iron, making installation easier and reducing the overall infrastructure costs for piping systems using butterfly valves.
