Forged valves serve several different applications in many indu-
stries and are produced in many different sizes with different
configurations to meet the intent of their operational purposes. A
valve body manufactured by forging constitutes a major part of a
valve and must be manufactured with high quality to insure its
reliability and safety in operation.

• Valves are used in each segment of oil & gas
industry – upstream, midstream, and down-
stream.
• Valves for each segment of oil & gas industry
depends upon the level of exposure to extre-
me temperature and pressure; and harsh envi-
ronment of the end-use application.
• Valves in chemical industry demands high
quality features as the involves continuous
handling of different forms of hazardous
gases, vapors, and liquids.
• Valves are also used to ensure controlled
process flow for various processes.

• Power industry require valves to control the cooling
circuits, prevention from overheating, and protection
from cavitation.
• Valves in power industry are mainly used in conden-
sate system, feed water system, and main steam
system among others.
• Mining industry require specialized valves due to the
highly abrasive nature of metal concentrates.
• Mining industry uses valves for end-use applications
such as mineral laden process, lime addition, dilution
waters, and pneumatic conveying of dry concentrates
among others.
