TÜV Süd certified series
The Taurus Series is designed, developed and tested in Germany and certified by TÜV Süd. The assembly is done exclusively in Germany. Raw materials for pressure containing parts are mainly sourced from European countries. Where necessary, PEEK as seat material and Duplex as ball material are provided. This offers customers a real added value. Stems are generally made in XM-19, an austenitic stainless steel grade, which has a greater corrosion resistance and higher yield strength than 316 stainless steel. All other trim materials and all non-wetted parts are provided in 316 stainless steel. Therefore the use in corrosive environment is feasible. For valves in special alloys all wetted parts are made in the special alloy material.
