Emerson Automation Solutions, which has offices throughout North America, introduces the Fisher™ Z500 line of metal-seated ball valves to its severe service portfolio. Fisher Z500 metal-seated valves are designed to withstand higher temperatures, pressures, and more erosive conditions than a standard on/off ball valve.
Fisher Z500 valves have a metal seat and self-energised metal body gasket designed to help eliminate leak paths and withstand extreme temperature changes. Live-loaded packing, side-mounted brackets, and fixed centrelines aim to reduce side loads on the packing and decrease wear.
