CASTINGS
All castings for valve productions are manufactured in our own foundry facility. Raw materials purchased are
carefully inspected before proceed to production to ensure conforms to the standard & required specifications that
meet ASTM, JIS, BS, DIN, etc.
BODIES
Bodies are designed to provide a minimum pressure drop and have a sufficient wall thickness to withstand the
torsion forces and stresses normally encountered in piping systems and to compensate for erosion and corrosion
effects.
COVERS
Covers are designed in various types to meet the valve body & operational requirements and connections are either
flat face, groove for gasket, ring joint faces. Pressure Seal Cover available for Class 900 / 1500/ 2500.
DISC ASSEMBLY
Disc is fastened securely to disc hanger with a lock nut and cotter pin. Disc is free to rotate to avoid localized
wear. All parts are accessible from top for easy servicing.
SEAT
Integral seat of Forged steel seat is machined and surface is overlay with hard alloy specified by the customer.
Seat is either threaded or welded onto valve body.
GASKETS
Class 150/300/600 : Spiral Wound Graphite with Stainless Steel
Class 900 : Ring Joint Metal
Other gasket materials are also available and are selected generally according to application pressure &
temperature.
