Steering arm flaps
Steering lever dampers are used for gas-tight shut-off of gas pipes. They are technically considered to be tight-closing (DIN 3220). The high tightness is achieved by a soft seal against which the valve disc is pressed by the main lever. When opening, the disc first lifts off the sealing strip in the axial direction and is then swivelled by the steering levers until it is parallel to the pipeline axis. No abrasion can occur on the seal during this process. Steering lever flaps are usually operated hydraulically.
- Maximum pressure: 200mbar
- Operating temperature: up to 200°C
- Size: DN600 to DN3500
- Sealing: soft-sealing, incl. press-fit damper disc
- Actuation: hydraulic

Spectacle slider
Spectacle slides enable a 100% tight closure of gas pipes in accordance with the safety regulations of the UVV. The gas-tight shut-off is maintained even in the event of a power failure and corresponds to a blind flange closure. Depending on the customer's requirements, these slides can be supplied in an open or closed design. These gland valves are mainly used in metallurgical plants, in blast furnace gas and converter gas pipelines and everywhere where gas-carrying pipelines have to be shut off quickly and safely in a gas-tight manner.
