VALVE STEEL

voestalpine Precision Strip offers valve steel meeting challenging demands on material properties such as high ultimate tensile strength, flatness, surface finish and steel cleanness - we use our knowledge since decades to produce the world-wide best available quality and this not only once - in every delivery. This is Made in Sweden.

Now, we also supply the finished prototype valves ready to be tested in the compressors right away.
VALVE STEEL

FLAP-X

Flap-X has been developed in close cooperation with leading flapper valve manufacturers and compressor OEM’s, and has shown the highest fatigue strength among all flapper valves steels, both in reverse bending and impact mode. It has proven superior performance compared to any other flapper valve material available, in internal and external testing.

Size range, thickness:
0.076 – 0.60 mm
Size range, width: 6 – 310 mm
Ultimate Tensile Strength, Rm: 2100 MPa
Elongation at break, A50: ≥6 %
