High-temperature valve testing has been successfully completed at temperatures reaching 536°F (280°C), validating reliable performance under extreme thermal conditions.
To simulate real-world industrial environments, thermal oil was heated in a controlled system and circulated through the valve assembly. This thermal performance validation process replicates demanding operating conditions commonly found in chemical processing, energy systems, and industrial manufacturing applications.
The results demonstrated consistent actuation, stable sealing performance, and structural integrity throughout sustained exposure to elevated temperatures.
In the final customer application, the valve will regulate a water-air mixture — a combination that introduces both thermal and media-related stress factors. Successful elevated temperature qualification ensures the valve maintains operational reliability even when exposed to fluctuating temperatures and mixed media conditions.
Testing at 536°F confirmed:
Industrial systems operating at high temperatures require more than theoretical ratings — they require validated performance.
At GSR, valves are engineered and tested for real-world industrial environments, including applications involving elevated temperature, pressure, and aggressive media. Controlled qualification testing ensures each solution performs as intended before deployment in the field.
Demanding temperatures require robust solutions. That’s exactly what we test for.
If your application involves extreme temperatures or critical process control requirements, our team is ready to support you.
