KROMBACH® TUFSEAT Severe Service Ball Valves

The Severe Service Series Krombach® Metal Seated Ball Valves offer critical safety and performance benefits for refining, petrochemical, and other demanding process applications. Our modular valves are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, solids/abrasion and high cycles.

Features And Benefits

  • INTERCHANGEABLE BALL AND SEAT DESIGN: The Krombach® Metal Seated Ball Valves offer an innovative interchangeable ball and seat design that ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR MATCH LAPPING to produce better than class VI shutoff.
  • LONGER LASTING VALVE: Increased valve lifetime, using ADVANCED FINISHES ON CRITICAL SURFACES and tailoring coatings and seat designs for each application.
  • STANDARD BI-DIRECTIONAL SEALING: Protects equipment from internal back pressure and processes contamination, also RESOLVES SAFETY CONCERNS associated with valve installation.
