Nickel-iron-chromium alloy industrial valve
合金 20 ウェッジゲートバルブ
A chemical-process valve material associated with sulfuric-acid, pickling and fertilizer duties. The wedge gate valve configuration is engineered for fully open or fully closed isolation with low open-position pressure loss.
What is a Alloy 20 ウェッジゲートバルブ?
A Alloy 20 Wedge Gate Valve combines a nickel-iron-chromium alloy containing copper and molybdenum, developed for resistance in sulfuric-acid and related chemical environments with a full-opening linear isolation design that raises a wedge out of a substantially straight flow path.
合金 20 selection must use concentration-temperature corrosion data and account for contaminants, エアレーション, velocity and crevices. A wedge gate valve is not normally used for throttling because partial opening can produce vibration and seat or guide damage.

Wedge Gate Valve design and standards
API 600
Common design basis for bolted-bonnet steel gate valves, including material, trim, testing and marking requirements.
ASME B16.34
General pressure-temperature and valve design requirements within scope.
API 598
Shell, backseat and closure pressure testing when specified.
API 624 / ISO 15848-1
Fugitive-emission qualification is specific to the packing system and qualified valve design.
Wedge flexibility, seat hardfacing, stem/packing system, body cavity drainage, thermal binding risk and operating thrust require service-specific review.
Fire-safe, fugitive-emission, sour-service, oxygen, cryogenic, chlorine and PED requirements apply only when explicitly defined and supported for the exact offered configuration.
代表的な用途
| 業界 | Material service context | Valve selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Sulfuric-acid processing | Transfer, dilution and process systems within verified concentration-temperature limits | Full-open isolation, wedge/seat materials, thermal effects, packing emissions and operator thrust |
| Fertilizer | Acid and chemical handling systems after compatibility review | Full-open isolation, wedge/seat materials, thermal effects, packing emissions and operator thrust |
| Pickling | Selected acid circulation and transfer duties | Full-open isolation, wedge/seat materials, thermal effects, packing emissions and operator thrust |
| Pharmaceutical and fine chemical | Corrosive reagent and batch-process systems | Full-open isolation, wedge/seat materials, thermal effects, packing emissions and operator thrust |
Application examples are not a corrosion or design approval. The end user must verify process chemistry, 汚染物質, プレッシャー, 温度, 速度, サイクリング, emissions and regulatory requirements.

よくある質問
Why is Alloy 20 used in sulfuric-acid service?
そのニッケル, クロム, molybdenum and copper balance can provide useful resistance across selected sulfuric-acid conditions. Exact concentration, temperature and contaminants remain decisive.
What cast grade is commonly associated with Alloy 20 バルブ?
ASTM A351 CN7M is a commonly specified cast grade associated with Alloy 20-type service. Forged components use their applicable wrought specification.
缶合金 20 replace Hastelloy C276?
Not as a blanket substitution. The alloys have different chemistry, strength and corrosion behavior. Selection must follow actual process corrosion data and the piping material specification.
Can a wedge gate valve be used for throttling?
Normally no. It is intended for fully open or fully closed service; extended partial opening can damage the wedge, seats and guides.
What is the difference between flexible and solid wedges?
A flexible wedge can accommodate limited alignment and thermal effects, while a solid wedge is more rigid. Selection follows the design and service conditions.
缶合金 20 be used for every component in this wedge gate valve?
自動的ではありません. Pressure-boundary, trim, stem or shaft, seating, packing, gasket and bolting materials have different mechanical and corrosion duties. The complete bill of materials must be engineered for the service.
