A new line of Krombach Metal Seated Ball Valves features machining of the ball and seat to such high tolerences that ball-and-seat lapping does not have to be performed individually for each valve. The tight tolerances make the ball and seat freely interchangable. Designed for specialty chemicals and mining applications, the valves feature a two-piece construction with a flange connection, as well as a self-cleaning system to remove excess particles, minimize leakage and extend product life. — Crane ChemPharma Flow Solutions, Cincinnati, Ohio
