ANSI 600# Rated Lined Valve?
- Thread starter mreee

I'll vote for Alloys. Bonding a fluorocarbon liner to a valve is not the most structurally efficient construction. Having it stay bonded at Class 600 limits is a real trick.
You MIGHT find a vendor who will offer a class 300 valve with class 600 connections.

500-550F is at or past the temp limit for most fluoro-resins. At this pressure I would be concerned that a glass-lined valve would stretch enough to put fractures into the lining.
Spend the money for alloys..It's worth the difference to be able to sleep at night.
