Leslie Controls, a CIRCOR International brand, and a worldwide manufacturer of valves for the power generation, industrial, marine and oil and gas markets for over a century, features its K-Max Eccentric Plug Rotary Control Valve.
The K-Max is one of the most versatile and robust valves of its type and an improvement on the performance and durability of traditional rotary control valves. It incorporates the cam-action, low-friction plug operation that provides tight shutoff over a long service life in a variety of flow control applications, including high and low-pressure steam systems; clean, dirty, and corrosive liquids and gasses; and erosive and abrasive slurries.
Featuring bi-directional flow capability, the K-Max is versatile and can handle mediums that are normally flowed to open and flowed to close. The inherent versatility of this design offers the advantage of using one valve style for many applications, allowing for plant standardisation and minimal stocking requirements. In addition, the efficient straight-through flow design allows for a much lower volume cost than conventional globe-style control valves.
