Securaseal high performance, severe service, critical extraction metal seated ball valves are required to resist extremes of wear, corrosion, and erosion at extreme Cv flow values, pressure, and temperature. The valves` wetted surfaces are often in contact with acids, bases (caustics), slurries, and high velocity solids. The Securaseal metal seated ball valves must maintain very low or no leakage rate,s and not fail between routine maintenance periods s the valves endure all of these extreme operating conditions.Securaseal metal seated ball valves incorporate numerous design features to offer superior performance in these environments. Among these features are customized HVOF and plasma sprayed coatings applied exclusively by Engelhard Surface Technologies. Securacoat coatings have been developed to provide repeatable, high reliable coatings which are often customized for a client`s particular application/environment. Securamax utilizes the repeatable properties of the coatings by incorporating these properties into their valve design using extensive FEA including operating simulations to ensure validated stress levels and that the coating contact stresses are within the coating`s performance specifications. Numerous examples of valve/coating performance in severe service environments such as chemical plants, gold mining, Synfuels and others will be discussed.
