Fire-Safe & Zero-Leakage by Design

For critical fuel gas and steam applications, our Triple Offset and High-Performance valves provide certified safety and performance. API 607 Fire-Safe and ISO 5208 Rate A zero-leakage are standard features, not optional extras, providing you with dependable protection.

Technical Deep-Dive: Materials for Power Plants

Materials for High-Energy Service

Selecting the right alloy is the single most important factor for valve longevity in high-temperature and high-pressure service.

Chrome-Moly Steel (A217 WC6, WC9)
The industry standard for high-temperature steam service. The chromium and molybdenum content provides excellent creep resistance and strength at temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F).
Stellite™ Hard-facing
A cobalt-chromium alloy applied by welding to the valve's sealing surfaces. It provides exceptional resistance to the severe erosion, abrasion, and galling found in turbine bypass and other steam throttling applications.
Triple Offset Laminated Metal Seat
Consisting of alternating layers of stainless steel and graphite, this seat design is energized by line pressure, providing a resilient, dynamic seal that achieves bubble-tight shutoff at extreme temperatures and pressures.

Design for Safety & Reliability

Beyond materials, specific design features are critical for safety and long-term performance in a power plant.

API 607 Fire-Safe Design
A mandatory certification for valves in flammable service (e.g., fuel oil). In a fire, a secondary graphite seal engages after the primary soft seat is compromised, preventing fuel from feeding the fire.
Fail-Safe Actuation
Spring-return pneumatic or hydraulic actuators are used for Emergency Shutdown (ESD). On loss of power or signal, the stored energy in the spring or counterweight automatically moves the valve to the safe position (e.g., Fail-Close for a fuel line).
Anti-Blowout Stem
A safety feature where the valve stem is internally retained by a shoulder or ring, ensuring it cannot be ejected from the valve body by internal pressure, even if the actuator is removed.

Powering the Future, Reliably

Valve failure is not an option in power generation. Partner with our engineering team to specify a solution that delivers quantifiable performance, enhanced safety, and long-term asset integrity.
