Founded in New York in 1921
Relocated to New Jersey to meet market demands in 1958 Merged with MG Process, formerly MG Fetterolf, in 2004 Relocated from New Jersey to current location in Bethlehem, PA in 2006 Strahman now has a global presence with locations in the USA, France and Germany with sales personnel located around the globe
Strahman Valves, Inc. designs and manufactures a wide range of custom valves for special applications. These applications demand reliable performance where high temperature, large diameters, jacketing, and/or special materials are required. Our solutions include metal-seated single gate slab gate valves, as well as double disc slab gate valves. These valves are primarily used for process isolation in the chemical and petro-chemical industries. Typical applications include transfer line and decoking valves for ethylene cracking units and isolation applications in FCCU (fluid catalytic cracking unit) and DCU (delayed coker unit) plants. The safety and continuous production of process plants often depend on the reliability of these key-equipment valves. our manufacturing capabilities Strahman Valves has been in the manufacturing business for over 90 years, and we have been designing and manufacturing special application gate valves for the last 20 years. Our two full service facilities located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Mery, France are fully capable of performing every part of the manufacturing process in house. This gives us the flexibility to meet our customers' schedules as well as allows us to closely monitor the quality of our products every step of the way. Strahman's Slab Gate Valves are designed by our experienced US and European engineering staffs using rigid flow analysis calculations. Every valve meets the customer's specific needs, with each design being the optimum solution for an application's unique specifications. Then, Strahman achieves the world's highest product quality through our ISO 2001 manufacturing processes.

STRAHMAN DOUBLE DISC DESIGN
design features of the strahman double disc design
Two independent sealing discs for true "Block and Bleed" functionality Steam Purged for 100% positive shut-off and inability for particles to enter the valve body or atmosphere Capable of remote operation for complete personnel safety Low maintenance design for uninterrupted operations between turnarounds Mechanical spreading mechanism that requires no additional force for long-term sealing capability Capable of manual operation for immediate operation
Live loaded stem packing with Belleville
Washer design helps reduce maintenance
Discs "mechanically"supply required
sealing force for tight shut-off
Stellited seats are in constant contact
with boronized sleeve preventing solids from entering the body

STRAHMAN DOUBLE DISC DESIGN
GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR THROUGH CONDUIT VALVE DOUBLE DISC TYPE Designed for on/off service Fabricated body with full bore design Through conduit type in the open position: the body bore forms a straight tube eliminating dead space while creating a barrier keeping solids from entering the body cavity during operation of the valve Parallel metal stellited seats guarantees the tightness at high temperature along with weld resistant overlay on body seats provide the necessary corrosion protection. The discs are also hard surface treated to prolong service life Sealing surfaces on the seats and discs are protected from flow in the open position limiting erosion and deposits on the body seats Positive tight shut off in closed position Yoke type with out side screw and bolted bonnet
Double Disk Spreading Mechanism
THE STRAHMAN COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The double disc gate valve has two separate stellited discs and two removable stellited seats rings; these discs are moving between two guides plates; when the two discs are in closed position, a flexible wedges system which is located and fixed on the side of the cavity body applies the necessary seating forces on the two discs to obtain the necessary tightness against the seats. This design feature offers the solution to other designs that are known to become jammed due to high temperatures and the sticking of the discs. These discs are then dragged along the seats without the proper release damaging the seats and making it very problematic to seat again without using excessive amounts of steam. A superior purging system has also been implemented with additional steam paths around the wedges system to eliminate possible coke build-up. Additional purging ports can be designed as recommended during the design phase for maximum purging efficiency. When the valve is in open position the flexible bellow located on the pipe is reinforced by 3 outside graphite rings which push the 2 parts of the pipe against the body seats creating a tight seal. This design improvement solves the common problem with other designs having the body cavity filled with coke blocking the discs in half position.

THE STRAHMAN COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The Strahman Single or Slab gate design provides the end user with a long term reliable solution for line isolation. The flexibility of the slab gate design including flange connections, materials of construction, and the choice of actuation - whether it is best suited for hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, or hand wheel gear operation will fit the needs of design engineers. The slab gate design also offers a much smaller footprint and can bring a substantial weight savings over the traditional ball valves and wedge style gate valves. These valves also eliminate the concerns of failure caused by a sticky ball or wedge gate and can be repaired at a much lower cost and much less frequently as traditional valves. The combination of the constant cleaning of the gate surface with every stroke along with the constant steam purge system plays a significant role in the low maintenance design and longevity of the valve.
