Selection and Application of Nickel Aluminium Bronze Isolation Valves

Nickel Aluminium Bronze typically finds use in applications where seawater or brine is present; providing a long service life far exceeding that of rubber-lined or ferrous based steel valves used on the same service.

The whole-life cost of using a Nickel Aluminium Bronze valve in seawater applications is economically superior to other solutions, when considering additional inspection, maintenance and service costs and that of whole valve replacement, typically required when other solutions are adopted.

Nickel Aluminium Bronze may not enjoy the notoriety of other materials; this presentation contains information which can assist in the correct selection and application of valves manufactured from Nickel Aluminium Bronze.
