How Advanced Valve Design Improves ESG Performance
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance has become a defining metric for industrial operators. Investors, regulators, and communities expect companies to demonstrate responsibility not only in financial results but also in how they manage environmental impact, workplace safety, and governance practices. Valves, though often overlooked, play a pivotal role in ESG outcomes. Advanced valve designs, […]
The Role of Mate-Lapped Seating Surfaces
When it comes to industrial valves, performance and reliability depend on one critical interface: the seating surfaces. This is where the valve makes or breaks its ability to achieve a tight shutoff. Even the smallest imperfections, scratches, uneven wear, or poor tolerances can lead to leaks, energy losses, and costly downtime. That’s why Vestra Valve […]
The Evolution of Metal-Seated Ball Valves
Metal-seated ball valve technology was not created overnight—it was born from necessity. As industries pushed into higher temperatures, higher pressures, and more aggressive chemical environments, traditional soft-seated valves began to fail. These early valves, while effective in less extreme settings, could not withstand the erosion, thermal shock, and corrosion present in steam generation and power […]
