Ordering
KITZ cryogenic valves are tailored to meet our clients' specifications. KITZ selects the most appropriate valve types and analyzes the clients' needs, before deciding on valve manufacturing specifications. These manufacturing specifications serve as the base for unified control of every step of valve manufacture from sales and design to production and shipping.
Design
KITZ's valve designs reflect know-how built on a long record of achievement and proven, performance-tested technology.
Casting
KITZ's high quality stainless steels are manufactured from castings produced at KITZ's in-house foundry. These distinctive materials can be used to meet a wide range of needs.
Processes
KITZ has established production technologies and performance tests based on its many years of experience in manufacturing valves for industrial use.
Assembly and inspection
KITZ carries out strict inspections of cryogenic valves on a dedicated assembly and inspection line. Starting with a variety of non-destructive inspections, KITZ can accommodate in-house any type of special method inspections requested by our customers.

• Extension bonnet
  The extension bonnet provides efficient cold insulation, minimizing heat conduction and transfer from cryogenic flow, while preventing the exposure of valve gaskets to cryogenic media and providing a secure seal.
• Surface-hardening treatment with Stellite® alloy
  Stellite® alloy is used to apply a surface-hardening treatment to the sliding portions of the body and disk seat assemblies, preventing wear and improving durability.
• Preventing abnormal pressure increases in interior
  cavity pressure
  When a gate valveÕs disc closes, a hole in the disc on the high-pressure side of the valve allows a liquid seal to form, preventing abnormal pressure increases in the valve cavity.
• Seat surface finishing
  KITZ uses a performance tested, practical seat wrapping process to produce high precision surface finishes with no variations in quality. This process guarantees stable seat seals for low to normal temperatures.
