Suitable for chemical plants and coastal areas with high salt spray (prioritizing corrosion resistance).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engineering Plastic<\/strong>: Lightweight, rust-proof, low cost, but prone to aging and susceptible to low temperatures. Suitable for temporary construction sites and rural well water (budget-limited scenarios).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ductile Iron<\/strong>: Wear-resistant, high pressure tolerance, but heavy and prone to rust.
