A CS ball valve, or carbon steel ball valve, is a type of ball valve made from carbon steel. Carbon steel offers a good balance of affordability, strength, and durability for various industrial applications.
Features:
- Cost-Effective: Compared to ball valves made from stainless steel, CS ball valves are a more budget-friendly option.
- Good Strength and Durability: Carbon steel provides adequate strength and durability for many industrial fluid handling applications.
- Moderate Pressure Rating: Can handle moderate to medium pressure depending on the specific design, size, and grade of carbon steel used.
- Potential Corrosion Concerns: Carbon steel is susceptible to rust and corrosion, especially in wet or corrosive environments. For these environments, consider using a corrosion-resistant material like stainless steel.
