- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for corrosive fluid applications in machinery valves?
**A**: For corrosive fluids, stainless steel or PVC valves offer excellent resistance, while PTFE components provide superior chemical inertness in packing and seats.

### Q: How does the actuator affect valve performance in equipment manufacturing?
**A**: The actuator enables precise automated control of the closure element, ensuring reliable start/stop and regulation of fluid flow, critical for consistent machinery operation.

### Q: What maintenance is required for the stem and packing in industrial valves?
**A**: Regular inspection and lubrication of the stem, along with periodic replacement of packing materials like PTFE, prevent leaks and ensure smooth operation in harsh environments.
