Applications / selection context
Use the application to identify material, sealing, connection, actuation and document requirements. A product name alone is not a performance specification.
Record whether the system handles potable water, process water, wastewater or seawater. Include pressure, temperature, line size, expected velocity, installation position and maintenance access.
Provide the fluid composition and concentration, not only a trade name. Temperature, cycling, solids and cleaning chemicals can change body, seat, gasket and stem-seal selection.
State the process medium, cleaning method, surface requirements and the standard governing the line. Hygienic service may require a different construction from a general-purpose stainless valve.
A controlled drawing, approved sample or part-number record makes replenishment more reliable. Identify any permitted substitutions and the fields that must remain unchanged.
Send the actual operating conditions rather than choosing the closest application label. Cryogenic, steam, vacuum, slurry, abrasive, corrosive and high-cycle duties need a product-specific review.
