Forged valves offer greater strength and increased toughness for maximum reliability and safety. They have become the first choice of fossil and nuclear power stations, the nuclear navy and for all severe and critical applications in the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries.
One particular brand is the Velan Power Ball, highly advanced, patented, forged, one-piece metal-seated valve designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications in the power generation and process industries. More information on the Velan Power Ball can be found here.
Because these valves are used in the most critical applications, consultation with application engineers and utilizing factory authorized installers is recommended.
