Ball Valves for Extreme Services
Engineered to perform safely and reliably under extreme pressure, temperature, and corrosive conditions
Engineered for the Most Demanding Operating Conditions
Metal Seated Ball Valves are specifically designed for severe service environments where conventional soft seated valves cannot deliver reliable performance. Built to withstand extreme temperatures, elevated pressures, and highly abrasive or corrosive process media, these valves provide exceptional durability, tight shut-off performance, and long operational life in critical industrial applications.
Manufactured with precision engineered metal to metal sealing technology, these valves maintain dependable sealing integrity under conditions that would rapidly degrade elastomeric seats. They are ideally suited for industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical processing, power generation, mining, refining, chemical manufacturing, and other heavy duty process applications.
Applications

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about our product.
Metal seated ball valves are designed for severe operating conditions involving high temperatures, elevated pressures, abrasive media and corrosive process fluids, where conventional soft-seated valves may not provide reliable performance.
Metal to metal sealing provides reliable shut-off and sealing performance under conditions where elastomeric seats can deteriorate due to high temperature, pressure or aggressive process media.
The listed options include Tungsten Carbide Coating (TCC) with hardness up to 1400 HV and Chrome Carbide Coating (CCC) with hardness ranging from 900–1100 HV. Both coatings are applied using HVOF spray technology.
The listed coating configurations provide temperature limits of up to 300°C for TCC and 525°C for CCC, depending on the selected coating and valve configuration.
Yes. Metal seated ball valves are particularly suitable for slurry, abrasive media, catalyst handling and other severe-service applications where enhanced resistance to wear is required.
These valves are used in oil & gas, refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation, mining, chemical processing and heavy duty industrial process applications.
A metal seated ball valve is generally preferred when the application involves high temperature, abrasive or corrosive media, severe service conditions or demanding isolation requirements where soft seat materials may have limited durability.
