Severe Service Valve

What Severe Service Valve does

Severe Service Valve Inc (SSV) is a privately held US manufacturer of industrial valves engineered for severe service applications, where operating conditions involve high temperature, high pressure, erosive media, corrosive chemicals, cavitation, or lethal service. The company's portfolio spans severe service metal-seated ball valves with Chrome Carbide and Specialty Fusion coatings, a full line of Fisher-compatible control valves (MF300, SG200, CG200, DFS900, GF1000 series and the SV1500 V-Ball), resilient and metal-seated isolation ball valves including API 6D pipeline valves, high pressure forged gate/globe/needle valves, and an API 6A wellhead equipment line operated through its SSV Oil and Gas subsidiary. Differentiating technical features include Dual Belleville Springs for resilient ball-to-seat loading, pressure-energized inner stem seals, DFS multi-stage anti-cavitation trims, and SSV Dunlap noise abatement cages rated at up to -35 dBA attenuation.

SSV sells on a quote-based, project-driven basis directly to enterprise customers in power generation, refining, chemical and petrochemical, coal gasification / IGCC, polysilicon, oil and gas, and metals and minerals, with additional specialty work in food processing, aerospace, and pulp and paper. The business model combines new-equipment hardware sales with a recurring aftermarket stream of replacement parts, trim upgrades, and remanufactured valves. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website (ssvvalve.com) and a separate Chinese-language site (ssvvalve.com.cn), with demand generation and capture handled by direct enterprise field sales rather than channel partners or e-commerce. The company emphasizes "Made in USA" manufacturing and frames its value proposition around total cost of ownership, zero-leakage isolation, and reliability for applications where life and property are at stake.
