Frequently Asked Questions
Think of forging like strength training for metal. The process compresses and shapes the steel under high pressure, creating a continuous and refined grain flow. This eliminates internal voids or weaknesses, resulting in a valve body that is inherently stronger, denser, and more reliable for high-pressure, high-temperature, or high-shock applications than a standard cast valve.
At IPC, forging is a core expertise. We go beyond just machining forged blocks. Our dedicated team, including experienced Project Managers & Engineers, manages the entire process from selecting premium raw material billets to precision forging, heat treatment, and final machining. This ensures the superior material properties of forging are fully realized in every valve we deliver.
The primary benefits are exceptional mechanical strength and superior integrity. This translates to:
Higher Pressure Tolerance: Handles severe pressure ratings (commonly Class 1500 to 4500) with confidence.
Better Impact Resistance: Less prone to cracking under thermal or physical shock.
Enhanced Safety Margin: The dense, homogeneous structure provides a crucial safety advantage in critical service.
They are essential in services where failure is not an option. Common applications include:
- High-Pressure Steam Lines in power plants.
- Hydrocarbon Processing in oil, gas, and petrochemical plants.
- High-Purity or Toxic Service where leak-tightness is paramount.
- Any critical application involving high cycle fatigue or thermal cycling.
They are a powerful combination for the most demanding services. A Pressure Seal Bonnet is a specific design where the sealing force increases with internal pressure, making it ideal for very high-pressure systems (often above Class 800 and above). At IPC, we often manufacture these superior bonnet assemblies using forged steel to withstand the tremendous forces involved, creating an ultra-reliable valve for critical power generation and similar industries. You can explore our specific Pressure Seal Gate Valve designs for more details.
Absolutely. A major advantage of our manufacturing capability is the flexibility to tailor valves. We can work with you on special material certifications, end connections (butt-weld, socket weld, threaded), extended stems, or unique trim packages to meet exact project specifications.
