Forged components for nuclear reactors, boiler systems, piping, as well as safety valves

Valves are pivotal in various industrial contexts. Forged parts designed for nuclear reactors, boiler assemblies, pipeline construction, and safety valves are crucial elements in various industrial applications. Safety valves, typically pressure relief valves, stand out as paramount safety features within most systems. Their primary function is to safeguard pressurized vessels like steam boilers, reactor vessels, and pipelines from potentially hazardous pressure surges. In the event, that pressure exceeds safe limits, these valves release trapped gases, vapours, or liquids either into the atmosphere or into designated manifold systems. The West German drop forge KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH in Hagen (NRW) boasts decades of proficiency in crafting drop-forged components tailored for pressure applications compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and for nuclear facilities adhering to KTA, AVSD, and RCCM standards. The company's offerings include roughly forged blanks or mechanically CNC-machined forgings, tailored for industrial valves, boiler components, and fittings such as pipe connections and transition pieces like flanges or tees. KB Schmiedetechnik has decades worth of experience in energy technology. Examples of drop forgings in most actual environments: • Forgings for nuclear power plants and hydrogen technology • Forged valve parts for nuclear and hydrogen applications • Forged components for nuclear fission and fusion reactors • Non-standard flanges and fittings of stainless steel like 316L or duplex • Special materials resistant against neutron or hydrogen embrittlement Moreover acid-resistant forgings for molten salt applications such as fluid reactors or solar thermal power plants and drop forged parts of stainless steels and superalloys for seawater environment, certified by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Lloyds Register (LR) Nippon Kaiji Kyōkai (ClassNK)
