Valves are needed for almost industrial purposes. As the name suggests, soft seated valves have non-metallic sealing surfaces. Thermoplastic materials like nylon, PTFE, or Delrin are used in soft seated valves so that they are suitable to sustain in a medium to the low-pressure environment. If your industry has a working temperature of below 500 degrees Fahrenheit, it is imperative to work with soft seated valves for better results. These valves are way cheaper in than metal seated valves and are preferred by many industrial giants.


Availing products and services from GPI is a one-time investment as the valves are certain to function for a long time. Soft seated valves will achieve operational excellence when put to the right use. However, steer clear of these valves if dirty processing of fluids or corrosive media is involved.
