K-Max Eccentric Plug Rotary Control Valve
Economical Design
The inherent versatility of the K-Max offers the advantage of
using one valve style for many applications, allowing for plant
standardization and minimal stocking requirements. In addition,
the efficient straight-through flow design allows for a much lower
cost per c, than conventional globe style control valves.
Rangeability
Rangeability of the K-Max valve is 100:1, allowing precise
throttling over a wide range of flows. Applications
Self-aligning Orbital Seat
This innovative design allows orbital movement of the seat ring The K-MAX Rotary Control Valve is engineered to handle
to provide self-alignment with the plug at assembly. Once seat nearly all industrial process control requirements including:
ring to plug alignment is made, the seat is locked in place by the
High and Low Pressure Steam
seat ring retainer. The seat ring and plug rigidly mate with every
closure of the valve, maintaining excellent shutoff capability. Clean, Dirty and Corrosive Liquids

The inherent flow characteristic of the K-Max valve is linear. When
required, the valve travel can be modified with a positioner cam
adjustment to provide equal percent flow characteristic.
