CRANE Energy Flow Solutions® showed the features and benefits of the Pacific® Wedgeplug Valve and the Krombach® Metal Seated Ball Valve (MSBV) at the Safety & Reliability seminar on days 3 & 4 at the Canada Coking Conference & Exhibition, October 22-26.
There are certain strategic design characteristics that make these valves remarkable. Pacific Wedgeplug Valves have metal sealing surfaces (improving reliability of shut-off), and provide bi-directional sealing. Krombach® Metal Seated Ball Valve’s ball and seat are machined to such precise tolerances that ball and seat lapping does not have to be performed individually for each valve – making both the ball and seat freely interchangeable (if equal in nominal size). Krombach MSBVs are equipped with a self-cleaning system, and their leak-proof characteristics meet the rigorous requirements for isolation service, and are CRN certified.
Rob Marocco, General Manager, CRANE ChemPharma and Energy Flow Solutions, Canada said that the company is keen to continue their mission to design and supply highly engineered products and solutions, and to promote safety in energy processing while underlining the importance of using valves and technologies whose safety and performance record is a source of confidence. CRANE’s valves are designed for the particular needs of the coking and other petroleum industries. MSBVs are shipped with a serial number and a materials document detailing manufacturing information required by end users for valves deployed in critical applications.
