Latest Technology on Valve design and simulation, according customers requirements adopting most demanding specifications, and world class clients.

SELECTIONS
According to customer requirements, services and design conditions valve is designed in different materials and Seal selection is defined accordingly.
Most commonly used seals are Elastomers, like HNBR, VITON GF or VITON GLT, specially developed for such service condition, but when the service temperatures or service conditions becomes more aggressive other seals must be selected preferably lip seals made of PTFE, or, in higher temperatures and aggressive H2S service, graphite sealings.

EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION
For gaseous sevice, it is necessary to take some precautions to avoid lacerations to the elastomeric compounds on the valve. Due to sudden pressure decreases, this effect can generate serious damage on the gasket with the subsequent loss of effectiveness, In order to avoid this, ED properties compounds are used. FLUVAL propose these compounds as standard on classes 600# and above.

METAL TO METAL VALVES
Where soft seated Valves are not suitable to be used due to the service conditions/temperature, Metal seated valves are offered as an suitable alternative due to the wide range of temperatures and service conditions that can be covered, FLUVAL manufactures Ball Valves with many different hard faced balls and seats like, Tungsten and Chromium Carbides, Stellite or according customer requirements.
