Pressure Rating
The pressure rating designation of KITZ valves follows the accepted practice
of today's valve and pipe fitting industry. Each product is rated for W.O.G.
(Non-shock cold water, oil, and gas*) and Saturated steam pressure
service.

This catalog uses MPa, an SI unit, to indicate pressure. For reader convenience, however, psi is also used for ASME and JIS related products, respectively.
The products in this catalog are all covered by ISO 9001 certification.

Water pollution and employment of new piping material have amplified valve dezincification problems.
The copper alloy used in bronze valves contains zinc, tin, and lead, with copper as the
base. When bronze valves are subjected to unfavorable service conditions, the zinc
What is dezincification? component of the copper alloy separates from the copper base, and the metal corrodes.
This is called dezincification.
In the case of a bronze valve, the body, bonnet, and other cast bronze parts rarely corrode,
because of the small percentage of zinc contained in the alloy. However, brass valve parts
such as stems, which contain 40% zinc, often corrode because of extreme dezincification.
The following factors cause dezincification. These factors are generally believed to occur
together, rather than independently.
What causes dezincification? 1 Excessive acidity in aqueous solution.
2 Warm water containing excessive free carbonic acid with high electric conductivity.
3 High electric conductivity with presence of excessive chlorides and sulfides.
4 Copper or vinyl chloride pipes.
5 Excessive dissolved oxygen.
