Applications

IMF products are essential across a wide range of applications.

Across more than thirty sectors, our work is the same: opening, shutting off and metering the flow of pressurised fluids where errors are unacceptable.

Key sectors

Six sectors that shape
how we design.

Extreme pressures, reactive fluids and regulated markets. Each sector has its own constraints, standards and typical designs. Choose yours.

Choose by fluid

A design for
each fluid.

Typical starting configurations. Temperature, concentration and cleanliness class may change the design. Send us your operating conditions and we will confirm the component.

Air, nitrogen, argon
Brass or stainless steel body · PCTFE or PEEK seat · FKM or NBR seals. This is the standard design.
Oxygen
Brass or aluminium bronze · PCTFE seat · FKM seals. A degreased design and oxygen-compatible materials are mandatory.
Hydrogen
Stainless steel · PCTFE or Torlon seat · FKM seals. Check leak-tightness class and material embrittlement. 10 µm filtration recommended.
Helium
Stainless steel · PCTFE seat · FKM seals. Specify the target leak rate to account for permeation. 10 µm filtration recommended.
Cryogenics
Stainless steel · PCTFE seat · PTFE seals. Down to −270 °C with a qualified cryogenic design.
Corrosive gases
Stainless steel, Monel or Hastelloy · PCTFE or PEEK seat · Kalrez seals. Concentration and dew point determine the alloy.
Breathing gases
Brass or stainless steel · PCTFE seat · FKM seals. Specify the cleanliness class and traceability requirements.
Steam, hot water
Stainless steel or cast iron · stainless steel seat · EPDM or PTFE seals. Temperatures often exceed the operating limits of elastomers.

Custom solutions

    Custom sizing

    Tell us your pressure, temperature and fluid. We will recommend materials and a configuration, from a standard component to a dedicated assembly.

  • Testing

    Every assembly is tested

    Actuated and manifold assemblies are function-tested in our workshop. The test report accompanies the order.
