Crane Highlights New Products, Celebrates 160-year anniversary During Valve World Americas

HOUSTON (July 6, 2015) – Crane ChemPharma & Energy is pleased to announce their participation and sponsorship of the Valve World Americas Expo (booth #327) from July 15-16 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, Texas. During the show, Crane will celebrate its 160-year anniversary and showcase an extensive portfolio of fluid handling solutions, including two recently-launched products from trusted Pacific® and Xomox® valve brands.

“We are very excited this year to commemorate our 160th anniversary during the Valve World Expo, and to have the opportunity to celebrate our history with our customers, colleagues and partners in the industry,” said Juergen Sonderschaefer, Vice President Global Sales for Crane ChemPharma & Energy. “This event is an excellent opportunity for us to both honor our past and look towards the future as we share new products and solutions with our customers on site.”

Among the many products to be featured during the show are the new Pacific® CSV line of cast steel gate, globe and check valves, and the Xomox®FK soft-seated ball valve.

New Product—Pacific®CSV

Designed in accordance with the industry’s latest standards, the new Pacific®CSV line of cast steel gate, globe and check valves from Crane ChemPharma & Energy provide the highest level of quality and performance in demanding applications.

Subject to Crane’s rigorous development and testing process, each Pacific®CSV valve is uniquely built and tested per API 598 standards to offer exceptional performance in the global oil & gas, petrochemical, power and refining industries. The globe valves also comply with the API 623 standard released specifically for globe valves. With higher Cv rates and lower operating torques than alternative valve types, Pacific®CSV valves deliver superior value to users in demanding applications.

New Product—Xomox®FK

Engineered to address the inherent dangers of volatile chemical applications, the Xomox®FK adheres to the industry’s most stringent standards and combats the harmful effects of temperature and pressure fluctuation. Three independent stem seals offer superior fugitive emissions control, and are certified to EPA Method-21, ISO-15848 and TA-Luft according to VDI 2440. Self-relieving seats relieve excess pressure to protect the integrity of the valve while maintaining bi-directional operation. The patented SX ball stem design provides high maximum stem torque capability and built-in side load resistance, which extends valve life under severe conditions including thermal cycling.

Other products that will be highlighted during the show include the Xomox® SPV, Xomox® XLB, XLC, XLD, LPV, Pacific® pressure seal valves, Saunders® diaphragm valves, Flowseal® high-performance butterfly valves and Aloyco® stainless steel gate, globe & check valves.
