Reliable Valves

Conquering the ‘Impossible Triangle’

For deep-sea oil & gas, petrochemicals, and critical infrastructure.

The Operational Environment

In critical service applications, standard valves are a liability. The operational environment presents a combination of extreme challenges where failure is not an option. We understand that valves in these settings must move beyond "adequacy" and deliver absolute, proven "excellence" to ensure safety, reliability, and profitability.

Key Demands

  • Extreme Pressure: Must withstand operating pressures greater than 1000 PSI (Class 600) up to 2500 PSI (Class 1500) without leakage or structural fatigue.
  • Aggressive Corrosion: Must resist highly corrosive media, including wet H₂S (sour gas), chlorides, and strong acids that cause rapid material degradation.
  • Absolute Fire Safety: Must guarantee valve integrity and containment during a fire, meeting strict API 609 certifications to protect life, assets, and the environment.

The "Impossible Triangle"

Engineers often refer to the simultaneous combination of High Pressure, Severe Corrosion, and Fire Safety as the 'impossible triangle'.

A valve must excel in all three areas at once, requiring a holistic approach to design, material science, and manufacturing that few can achieve. This is our specialty.

An Engineered, Multi-Layered Defense

Our solution is not a single feature, but a synthesis of advanced materials and optimized structural design.

Customized Materials: The First Line of Defense

  • Valve Body & Disc: We specify super-austenitic stainless steel (e.g., 904L) or nickel-based alloys (e.g., Inconel, Hastelloy) for their proven resistance to pitting and sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC) per ASTM G48.
  • Seat & Sealing Ring: We utilize multi-layer laminated seals (e.g., Duplex + Graphite) or a primary metal-to-metal seat, providing a fire-safe, high-pressure barrier. For secondary sealing, we use specially formulated FKM or HNBR for H₂S resistance, tested to API 6A.
  • Stem & Bearings: Stems are often made from high-strength alloys like 17-4PH or Monel K500 to handle high torque and prevent shearing. Bearings are designed to withstand extreme loads without galling.

Optimized Structural Design: Zero-Leakage Assurance

  • Triple Eccentric Geometry: This advanced design eliminates friction between the seat and disc, drastically reducing wear and lowering operating torque. It creates a camming action that results in a repeatable, torque-seated, zero-leakage seal.
  • Dual Sealing Capability: Many of our critical service valves feature a metal hard seal as the primary fire-safe barrier, with an elastic soft seal providing a secondary, independent shutoff. This redundancy achieves true zero leakage.
  • Pressure-Energized Sealing: The valve's design intelligently uses the pressure of the process fluid to further energize the seal, strengthening its integrity as system pressure increases and ensuring containment under all conditions.
