Discover our top-tier forged valves engineered to withstand high pressures, thermal shocks, and extreme cryogenic conditions in major French municipal and industrial projects.
Over 30 years of manufacturing experience
By bridging advanced Chinese manufacturing precision with the demanding engineering standards of the French market, we ensure that operators, EPC contractors, and municipal authorities in Paris and the wider Île-de-France region receive optimized flow control equipment designed for longevity and zero leakage.
Contact Our Paris Support TeamOur core product range covers forged trunnion-mounted and floating ball valves, top-entry and side-entry ball valves, fully welded ball valves, metal seated ball valves, cryogenic ball valves, high-pressure ball valves up to Class 2500 (PN420) and customized higher pressure ratings, as well as high-temperature service valves. Compared with conventional cast valves, SLVCN forged valves feature higher material density, superior mechanical strength, improved resistance to pressure fluctuations and thermal shock, and significantly longer service life under severe service conditions.
Forging aligns the grain structure of the steel, eliminating internal porosity and micro-cracks common in cast alternatives, ensuring absolute pressure containment.
Engineered to withstand rapid temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for high-temperature steam distribution and ultra-low cryogenic applications.
High mechanical strength limits wear and tear, reducing maintenance cycles and ensuring long-term operational safety in critical urban pipelines.
Designed for High Pressure, High Temperature, and Cryogenic Applications, SLVCN valves are widely used in long-distance oil & gas transmission pipelines, LNG storage and regasification terminals, offshore platforms and deepwater projects, power plants, refineries, compressor stations, and high-pressure chemical processing units. Whether handling flammable media, corrosive fluids, sour service media (H₂S), ultra-low temperatures, or extreme differential pressures, our valves ensure stable operation, bubble-tight shut-off, and maximum system safety in accordance with international sealing and performance standards.
1. Paris District Heating Grid (CPCU): The Compagnie Parisienne de Chauffage Urbain operates one of the largest steam-based district heating systems in Europe. Transporting high-temperature, high-pressure steam beneath the streets of Paris demands valves that prevent thermal fatigue. SLVCN's forged steel metal-seated ball valves are specifically suited to handle these extreme thermal cycles without losing sealing integrity.
2. Green Hydrogen & Cryogenic Logistics: With France's national strategy focusing heavily on decarbonizing the industrial basin of the Seine Valley, Paris is rapidly adopting hydrogen and LNG solutions. Our Class 900 cryogenic trunnion-mounted DBB ball valves are designed to operate safely down to −196°C, supporting local storage terminals and clean energy distribution networks.
3. Seine River Protection and Water Treatment: Managing municipal water networks and protecting the local river ecology requires reliable, corrosion-resistant valves. SLVCN's forged double-block-and-bleed valves provide dual isolation, preventing any chemical cross-contamination during water treatment and purification processes.
Safety and reliability are embedded in every design. Our forged ball valves are equipped with Double Block and Bleed (DBB) structures, anti-blowout stems, fire-safe designs in accordance with API 607 / API 6FA, anti-static devices, emergency sealing systems, and pressure-balanced seating structures suitable for high differential pressure operation. Valves can be designed with SPE or DPE seat configurations based on application requirements. For sour service environments, materials and sealing systems comply with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 requirements.
In densely populated urban environments like Paris, pipeline safety is paramount. The Double Block and Bleed (DBB) design allows operators to safely isolate the valve cavity and bleed off trapped pressure, facilitating maintenance without shutting down entire municipal networks. The fire-safe construction ensures that even in the event of external fire exposure, the metal-to-metal secondary seal maintains shut-off capability, preventing catastrophic fuel propagation.
To ensure consistent quality, each valve undergoes a complete series of inspections and performance tests in accordance with API 6D, API 598, and ISO 5208, including shell test, seat leakage test (Rate A / zero visible leakage), fire-safe test, cryogenic test, operational torque test, dimensional inspection, and PMI material verification. SLVCN operates dedicated cryogenic testing facilities to validate valve performance at ultra-low temperatures down to −196°C.
SLVCN is certified to ISO 9001, CE, and API standards, and our products comply with API 6D, ASME B16.34, DIN, ANSI, and JIS specifications. We provide extensive customization capabilities covering sizes from 1/2” to 36”, full bore or reduced bore, special materials including A105, LF2, F11, F22, F51, Inconel, various soft and metal seat designs, and intelligent actuation with pneumatic, electric, and gear operators.
Rate A bubble-tight sealing ensures zero visible leakage, protecting high-risk urban zones from hazardous fluid or gas exposure.
Fully compliant with European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) regulations, allowing seamless integration into French industrial installations.
Custom materials including F51 Duplex, Inconel cladding, and Low Temp Carbon Steel (LF2) to handle aggressive and corrosive media.
Today, SLVCN serves customers in more than 100 countries and regions, supplying valves to EPC contractors, engineering companies, and end users across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Americas.
