Severe Service Control Valves

Severe service control valves are used in the most difficult installations within your process plant. These installations commonly include cavitating, erosive, corrosive, noisy, high pressure, high temperature, high pressure drop, or high velocity media. To maximize longevity in these harsh conditions, severe service control valves typically utilize extremely hard materials, materials that withstand temperature and pressure extremes, bodies with special flow paths, bodies with high capacities, and cages with unique flow passages. A severe service valve may or may not be a critical service valve—one that’s essential to the operation of the plant.
