Valve, Valve Seats and Plugs

Valve, Valve Seats and Plugs

Ceramic valves are precision-engineered components used to regulate, restrict, or isolate fluid flow. In particular ceramic Valve Bodies handle full pressure and fluid load, ceramic Valve Seats provide a precise sealing interface, ceramic Plugs are used in plug valves to control flow direction or shut-off. These components are used in both linear (e.g., piston, diaphragm valves) and rotary (e.g., plug, ball valves) mechanisms, particularly where metal components corrode or wear out too quickly.

Material Diversity

Zirconia (Y-TZP / MgO-PSZ) | Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) | Alumina (Al₂O₃)

Each component is isostatically pressed, sintered, and precision ground to ensure tight tolerances and smooth sealing surfaces.
