Frequent Interrogation

These valves are ideal for marine, seawater, desalination, offshore, and chemical applications thanks to aluminium bronze’s excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments.

Aluminium bronze offers exceptional resistance to saltwater, brine, chlorides, and aggressive media, making it far superior to standard stainless steel in marine and coastal conditions.

Yes. They are specifically designed for continuous seawater exposure, preventing pitting, corrosion, and material degradation.

Common seat materials include EPDM, NBR, and PTFE, each chosen based on temperature, chemical compatibility, and sealing requirements.

Aluminium bronze provides strong mechanical integrity, and TTV valves are engineered to maintain tight shut-off and stable performance across a range of industrial pressure ratings.

They are widely used in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, fire protection, desalination plants, HVAC seawater cooling, and chemical processing.

Maintenance needs are low. Aluminium bronze resists corrosion and scaling, while the resilient seat provides long-lasting sealing with minimal wear even in abrasive media.

Yes. These valves can be fitted with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators, turning them into fully automated flow-control solutions.

They combine excellent corrosion resistance, robust construction, and reliable sealing in a compact design. TTV’s engineering ensures dependable performance in harsh, salt-rich, or chemically demanding environments.

Actuated Valve Testing & Calibration
