Material Composition | Industrial water/gas systems | Industry Standard: Bronze (ISO 23500) Our Base: Brass (ASTM B280) Our Advanced: Brass + Nickel Plating (ASTM B201) | ▲1: Base resists corrosion 2x longer than bronze (ASTM G85) ▲2: Advanced adds saltwater resistance (ASTM B117) | Higher cost than bronze; Advanced requires specialized maintenance for plating |
Pressure Rating | High-pressure pipelines | Industry Standard: 150 psi (ANSI 150) Our Base: 200 psi (ASME B16.34) Our Advanced: 300 psi (ASME B16.34) | ▲1: Base handles 33% higher pressure than standard ▲2: Advanced suits extreme industrial flows | Base may fail in ultra-high-pressure scenarios; Advanced adds weight |
Temperature Range | Hot water/steam systems | Industry Standard: ≤200°F (NACE MR0175) Our Base: 250°F Our Advanced: 300°F | ▲1: Base operates in 50°F hotter conditions ▲2: Advanced matches boiler-grade valves | Base may warp at 250°F+ over time; Advanced requires thermal seals |
Certifications | Commercial buildings | Industry Standard: Basic local certs Our Base: CE + WRAS (UK water) Our Advanced: DVGW (German gas/water) + WRAS/CE | ▲1: Base meets EU/UK safety norms ▲2: Advanced qualifies for EU gas networks | Certification costs increase pricing tiers |
Connection Type | Retrofit installations | Industry Standard: Flanged (ISO 7005) Our Base: Threaded (NPT 1/2"-2") Our Advanced: Threaded + Flanged Option | ▲1: Base simplifies DIY installations ▲2: Advanced offers hybrid flexibility | Threaded may leak under high vibration; Flanged needs more space |
Noise Level | Hospitals/offices | Industry Standard: 45 dBA (ISO 3744) Our Base: 40 dBA (ISO 3744) Our Advanced: 35 dBA (ISO 3744) | ▲1: Base quieter than 90% of valves (quieter than a whisper) ▲2: Advanced matches premium silent valves | Advanced requires precision machining (higher cost) |
