Features of Fine Ceramics
The fine ceramics that we use are resistant to

• Corrosion Virtually inert to almost all organic
  and inorganic chemicals. Physically and
  chemically stable against most acids and
  alkalis.
• Abrasion Hardness allows ceramics to resist
  abrasion.
• Cavitation Ceramics are not damaged by
  continuous cavitation.
• Differential Pressure Ceramics can handle high
  differential pressure applications.
• Thermal shock Silicon nitride, silicon carbide,
  and zirconia all provide excellent resistance to
  thermal shock.

16
Features of Fine Ceramics
Why do we use ceramics?

• Cost Efficiency
• Longer Product Lifespan
• Increased Production Efficiency
• Easier Maintenance

17
Longer Lifespan and Cost Savings

• Where are the cost savings?
• 99.5 alumina costs three times as much as
  stainless steel.
• 99.9 alumina costs 20-30 as much as 99.5
  alumina.

18
Longer Lifespan and Cost Savings
Ceramic ball valves realize cost savings over
time.

• Stainless valves typically last about 3 months.
  In contrast, 99.5 alumina ceramic valves last
  more than 18 months.
• Less frequent change-outs result in less
  downtime, which results in tremendous savings.

Ceramic Valves vs. Stainless Steel Valves, over
One Production Year
Operations must be stopped for 2-3 hours during
stainless steel valve replacement. This results
in 8-9 hours of total downtime.
19
Fine Ceramics
Standard Material
99.5 Alumina

• Standard material
• Corrosion resistance and high hardness factor
• No radioactive degradation
• Stable at extremely high temperatures can be
  used at temperatures 1,600?

20
Fine Ceramics
Alternative Material
99.9 Alumina

• Purest form of alumina
• Finer particle size, more homogenous
• Less binding material results in higher
  corrosion- and abrasion-resistance
• Slightly higher price than 99.5 alumina

21
Fine Ceramics
Alternative Material
Zirconia

• Strongest and toughest at room temperature
• More susceptible to corrosion and wear than
  alumina
• Used primarily for high-torque and high-pressure
  applications

22
Fine Ceramics
Alternative Material
Silicon Nitride

• Highest thermal shock resistance and strongest at
  elevated temperatures
• Used in internal combustion engines, turbines,
  and diesel glow plugs
• Can be used with molten metals

23
Fine Ceramics
Alternative Material
Silicon Carbide

• Hardest material after diamond 95 harder than
  99.5 alumina
• High thermal conductivity, thermal-shock
  resistance, and durability at extreme
  temperatures
• Highest corrosion resistance and resistant to HF

24
Hardness Factor
Different ceramics have different hardness
factors. This determines a given valves abrasion
resistance.

Performance Characteristics
Ceramic valves provide both longevity potential
and the lowest overall cost.

The Competition

• Simple structure
• Designed to allow easy maintenance.
• Stem and gland packing can be checked when the
  valve is attached to the line.

• Complex structure.
• Difficult to maintain.
• Valve must be removed from line for internal
  maintenance.
