The biggest difference between top entry ball valve vs. the ordinary ball…

Fire Test

On March 21, 2018, RAYS Valve was completing a fire test with the Quality Supervision Bureau. Valve fire test is the test of simulating a valve in an actual fire environment, which can reflect the fire resistance of the valve. The fire resistance of the valve is the ability of the valve to keep working normally in a high temperature flame. It is an important indicator for the safety performance of the valve. Picture of a Valve after the fire…
