Nuclear expertise

Isolation of potentially lethal media is crucial in pressurised heavy water, pressurised water, gas cooled and boiling water nuclear reactors. Our valves can be found in critical nuclear applications like emergency water cooling, primary heat transfer systems and fuelling machines. Robustly designed, our valve technology has a service life of 40 years and is manufactured in accordance with the ASME III nuclear code.


Key Technologies

Bellows sealed globe valves

The bellows sealed globe valve is a true hermetic valve that comprises internal bellows and seal welds on all external joints that prevent any release of harmful chemicals. Manufactured with Inconel 625 alloy the bellows feature a multi-ply, welded seam construction designed for longer service life and shorted maintenance time.

Three-piece ball valves

Its three-piece design means that any part of the valve can be maintained without any need to remove it fully from the line. It has a polished ball that provides tight shut-off while the floating ball preloads the valve seat. Line pressure provides the force required to create a bubble-tight shut-off at all pressure levels.
