References for SOMAS cargo valves

The shipping- shipbuilding industry use our cargo valves on product tankers. These ships are used for distribution of refined petroleum products and other cargo. The cargo valves used are either manually or remotely operated. In the latter case hydraulic actuators are most often used.

A valve type especially suited as a cargo valve is the SOMAS butterfly valve , with its simple and robust construction. The advanced triple eccentric design in combination with the massive metal seat provides maintenance-free operation as well as excellent tightness.
