Engineering Capabilities

One of Cla-Val’s most unique characteristics is the strong focus we place on continuous improvement in our products and manufacturing processes. This focus is personified by our in-house Engineering Department. They work hand-in-hand with our customers to develop real-world solutions, such as the recently developed KO Anti-Cavitation valve trim pictured below, to help them meet their operational challenges. Cla-Val Engineers continue to create products that ultimately become the industry standard.

Utilizing a wide array of the most advanced technical software, including custom programs developed inhouse, our Engineers analyze product applications, and study our customers’ fluid handling systems to characterize conditions such as Cv, surge, flow, and the potential for valve cavitation noise and damage. This expertise enables our Engineers to take the data they gather and determine which flow or pressure control products will best meet our customers’ system requirements in the most operationally efficient and cost effective manner.

Beyond analyzing and understanding our customers’ existing requirements, Cla-Val Engineering uses the latest in solid modeling design software to develop new products to meet the ever-changing requirements of the industries we serve. To further enhance the value we provide, our Manufacturing Engineers continually work to develop and implement the latest technologies in our production and foundry facilities to ensure that all of our products are crafted with the highest possible quality, precision and accuracy.

Cla-Val product innovations - destined to become tomorrow’s standards.
