【Explanatory Material】What is the difference between a faucet and a ball valve that you can’t ask now?

"Are stainless steel containers related to the RoHS Directive?" You may have heard the terms "RoHS Directive" and "RoHS-compliant products" at least once. We sometimes receive inquiries such as, "Are stainless steel containers compliant with the RoHS Directive?" "Is there a certificate available?" What exactly is the RoHS Directive, and what is its relationship with stainless steel containers? "What is a non-applicability certificate for stainless steel containers?" A non-applicability certificate is one of the documents submitted to customs when exporting industrial products overseas. It is not a document that is always required for exports, but in many cases, it seems to be requested. Here is a brief summary of the non-applicability certificate.

A valve refers to a device that regulates the flow of liquids or powders through piping. In stainless steel containers, it is common to use valves to adjust the flow rate when transferring mixed liquids or powders to another location. There are various types of valves with different characteristics, and by selecting the most suitable valve for the application, it is possible to reduce production costs and the risk of foreign material contamination. When selecting a valve, it is important to consider whether you will be handling liquids or powders. This document will introduce valves that are commonly used in conjunction with stainless steel containers, categorized by their application to liquids and powders.

Do you know what the differences are between the faucet and the ball valve attached to the stainless steel container? As convenient stainless steel containers for dispensing liquids, our company offers two types of products: containers with faucets and containers with ball valves. Both can dispense liquids in smaller portions like a water server or a jug, but let me introduce the differences between the faucet and the ball valve.

Explaining the differences between packing, gaskets, and O-rings, as well as the materials and properties of packing essential for sealing stainless steel containers, and how to select them! When using stainless steel containers, there are various requirements for the container depending on its intended use. Sealing components play a crucial role when sealing the container or piping from the container to manufacturing equipment. Here, we will explain the various sealing components commonly used in our stainless steel containers, focusing particularly on packing. However, what is written here is an introduction to those that are generally known. There are many other types of sealing components depending on the materials and applications. When considering a container, we will propose the most suitable sealing components that match your purpose. We hope this explanatory document will serve as a reference when considering stainless steel containers.
