Reliable Valves

FKM (Fluoroelastomer) Seated Butterfly Valve

The cost-effective, resilient sealing solution for service up to 180°C with superior chemical resistance to oils and fuels.

Core Advantage: Resilient Sealing for Moderate Heat

For applications where temperatures reach up to 180°C, a resilient (soft) seated valve offers the most reliable bubble-tight shutoff. Our custom-formulated FKM provides an exceptional solution, maintaining superior elasticity and structural integrity under heat where standard elastomers fail. It delivers a reliable, repeatable seal in demanding media like thermal oils, fuels, and many chemicals, offering a perfect balance of performance and cost-effectiveness before needing to step up to a metal-seated design.

Case Study: Conquering 180°C Heat in Saudi Arabian Oil Fields

"Standard seals were failing constantly in our 180°C pipelines. JRVAL's custom FKM valve solution has operated for 19 months without a single leak, saving us over \\$2.7 million in maintenance and downtime."

Stainless Steel Offset Butterfly Valves

The premier choice for high temperatures combined with corrosive media, high purity requirements, or cryogenic service.

Core Advantage: High-Temp Strength Meets Corrosion Resistance

When your application involves high temperatures **and** a corrosive fluid, stainless steel is the necessary choice. While both carbon steel and stainless steel can handle heat, the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel (CF8/CF8M) prevents degradation from acids, caustics, or high-purity steam. Combined with a Triple Offset design using metal-to-metal seals, it delivers zero-leakage performance in the most severe services, from -196°C to 450°C, making it essential for chemical plants, LNG facilities, and offshore platforms.

Case Study: Solving Corrosion in a 98% Sulfuric Acid Pipeline

"Previous valves in our concentrated sulfuric acid line lasted less than three months. The JRVAL stainless steel Triple Offset valve, with its Hastelloy C276 sealing ring, has been in stable operation for over two years with zero maintenance."

Carbon Steel Offset Butterfly Valves

The robust and economical workhorse for high-pressure steam, thermal oil, and hot gas systems.

Core Advantage: Reliability & Economy for Non-Corrosive Heat

For high-pressure, high-temperature applications where the media is non-corrosive (like steam, hot air, or thermal oils), carbon steel (WCB/WCC) offers unparalleled strength and value. There is no need for the added cost of stainless steel. Combined with a Triple Offset design and a laminated flexible graphite seal, it can be reliably used in superheated steam systems up to 425°C. This fire-safe, friction-free design ensures durable, bi-directional sealing even under severe thermal cycling, making it the top choice for power generation and heavy industry.

Case Study: Securing a 4.5MPa Superheated Steam Line

"Our main steam pipeline requires absolute reliability at 400°C and 4.5MPa. JRVAL's Carbon Steel Triple Offset Valve not only achieved the zero-leakage standard but its low-torque design also reduced our actuator costs by 15%."
