Valve Seats

We manufacture a wide range of soft seat configurations across many industries supplying major global customers.

Applications

  • Valve seats and seat inserts - seats for all types of valves including ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, chokes and plug valves.
  • Valve stem seals, including chevron packing and all types of energised seals.
  • Complete valves, valve liners and linings.
 
Materials

Among the materials in which we manufacture valve components are the following:

  • PTFE, all filled grades of PTFE. Modified PTFE (TFM) and filled grades.
  • Fluoropolymers of all types including PCTFE, ETFE (including filled grades), ECTFE and PVDF.
  • High performance plastics including PEEK, PEI, PPS and various specially developed grades of polyamide
  • Rubber
 
 
For the categorisation of valve operating characteristics (in particular operating torque) plastic valve seat materials can be grouped in three categories Stiff, Normal and Flexible.
  • "Stiff" materials include filled grades of high performance engineering plastics such as PEEK.
  • "Normal" plastic materials include virgin PEEK, polyamides and PCTFE.
  • "Flexible" materials are mainly PTFE (and its derivatives) both filled and unfilled.

Capabilities

  • We can develop many materials for specific valve applications.
  • Standard sizes ranging up to 1550mm (larger sizes available upon request)
