Crane ChemPharma & Energy Announces New Pacific®Forged Valve at the Global Petroleum Show 2014

CALGARY, Alberta (June 10, 2014) – Developed specifically for high-stress, high thermal-cycling applications, new Pacific®Forged valves prove that not all forgings are equal. This new line of forged gate, globe and check valves will be central to Crane ChemPharma & Energy’s participation in this year’s Global Petroleum Show, where experts will be on site at booth #7752 to discuss the unique value that Pacific®Forged  valves deliver to customers.

The distinctive design of the Pacific®Forged GGC offers numerous benefits to users, including:

• Superior Forging Quality (100% Tested): Multi-stage ultrasonic testing is standard on all forgings and finished valves, so customers can rely on consistent & continuous valve quality despite the most severe process conditions.
• Lower Cost of Operation: A contoured shape and a proprietary hard-face overlay process make Pacific-Forged valves resistant to cracks and delamination, reducing maintenance and plant downtime.
• Quick lead-time: 90% of our valve types can ship in less than 20 weeks.

“The next generation Pacific®Forged valves complete our portfolio with the addition of a high-performance forged product range,” said Steve Brown, Global Business Line Manager for Crane ChemPharma & Energy. “Our customers will benefit from lower operating costs and reduced downtime as a result of our unparalleled quality, and we are excited to bring this technology to the 2014 Global Petroleum Show.”

While on site, Crane’s technical team will also showcase their comprehensive range of valve solutions from trusted brands including Xomox®, Krombach®, Resistoflex® and WTA.
