Benefits at a glance
Double block & bleed valves redefined
Made in Germany
The Taurus Series is designed, developed and tested in Germany and certified by TÜV Süd. The assembly is done exclusively in Germany.
High-quality raw materials
- Raw materials for pressure containing parts are sourced from Europe or North America only
High-quality materials for maximum performance
- Where necessary, PEEK as seat material and duplex as ball material are provided
- Stems are generally made in XM-19, an austenitic stainless steel grade, which has a greater corrosion resistance and higher yield strength than 316 stainless steel
- All other trim materials and all non-wetted parts are provided in 316 stainless steel. Therefore the use in corrosive or salty environment is feasible
- For valves in special alloys all wetted parts are made in the special alloy material
STATE-OF-THE-ART VALVES
Taurus are state-of the-art valves and developed and reengineered using the latest design and simulating methods paired with decades of experience.
All Taurus types meet the following requirements by default:
- Fire safe tested and certified acc. to API 607 and ISO 10497
- Tested and certified for fugitive emissions acc. to ISO 15848-1
- Nace MR0175 and ISO 15156
- Pressure equipment directive (PED)
- API 6D / ISO 14313
- ASME B16.34
Full bore
- We offer a ‘real’ full bore valve according to API 6D / ISO 14313
- Some manufacturers fall below these minimum dimensions and offer it anyway as “full bore”, although the bore size diameter do not meet the minimum requirements
Short face-to-face length
- These valves meet the face-to-face requirements of ASME B16.10 (where feasible) and can therefore replace an existing ball valve or double block & bleed valve. This short and compact design results in less space requirements and less weight
