Sealing for API 6D ball valve and LNG at cryogenic temperatures has its own unique set of challenges. JST has a wide range of solutions for cryogenic sealing applications. The range includes valve stem seals and valve seat seals. Compounds and designs could vary as per specific applications. The material mainly includes polymer jacket (virgin PTFE, filled PTFE, TFM, PCTFE, UHMW-PE, PEEK, etc.) and...

In a 6A gate valve, the seat seal application is crucial for ensuring tight shutoff, particularly in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, such as in the oil and gas industry. API 6A valves are manufactured following standards for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment, where the gate valve provides on/off control with a straight-through flow. Here’s an overview of key consideratio...

In LNG terminals, liquid nitrogen systems, and cryogenic pipelines (-196°C), standard elastomer seals fail catastrophically—brittle fractures, shrinkage-induced leaks, and cold flow compromise safety. As a leading cryogenic seal manufacturer, we engineer PTFE and PEEK ball valve seat seals specifically for sub-zero environments. Our materials resist thermal shock, maintain elasticity at -196°C, an...

When it comes to unidirection Radial seal for the Ball valve seat, our customer would always prefer to choose JST style “BVR”, but why is that?   The answer lies in its optimized sealing geometry and pressure-activated design. The BVR series is made of a canted level spring and a polymer jacket, which is mainly used as a stem seal. Under pressure, the seal lip is energized and tig...
