Benchmark Collaboration Cases
Cryogenic Valve Balls for LNG - Joint Development with ITT Corporation
Collaboration Pain Point
ITT needed valve balls capable of maintaining absolute seal integrity at -196°C cryogenic temperatures for LNG applications. The key challenges were ensuring the valve ball's dimensional stability and spherical surface perfection under extreme thermal changes - a critical requirement for zero-leakage LNG valve systems
Ball Solution
Our engineering teams collaborated with ITT on a 12_month co-development program, focusing on optimizing the valve ball's material selection and precision manufacturing process. We created a proprietary valve ball manufacturing process that strictly controls the sphericity tolerance, ensuring nc deformation under extreme temperature fluctuations
Core Achievements & Ball Metrics
- Maintained ≤0.005mm sphericity tolerance for valve balls across the full -196°C to room temperature range
- Successful validation of 1.5 million cycle durability testing at -196°C
- Established a new industry benchmark for cryogenic valve ball reliability
- Enabled zero-leakage performance in ITT's most demanding LNG cryogenic valve systems
HVOF Coated Valve Balls for Sour Gas -Technical Partnership with Emerson
Collaboration Pain Point
Emerson's valves in sour gas and acidic crude applications faced severe erosion-corrosion challenges for their valve balls. Standard surface coatings failed within months, leading to frequent downtime and high replacement costs - a critical pain point for H2S and CO2 rich environments.
Ball Solution
We launched a joint engineering initiative with Emerson to develop a custom multi-layer HvoF coating system exclusively for Emerson's valve balls. Material scientists from both companies optimized the coating formula, adhesion process and porosity control, tailoring the solution for the aggressive sour gas environment.
Core Achievements & Ball Metrics
•Developed a proprietary HVOF coating for valve balls with adhesion >85 MPa and porosity <1.5%
•Extended the service life of Emerson's valve balls by 400% in acidic crude and sour gas applications
•Achieved Emerson's most stringent Category IV sour service certification for valve components
•Eliminated unplanned downtime caused by valve ball corrosion/erosion for Emerson's clients
