Goetze Safety Valves
- Wide Range of Materials
Goetze manufactures valves for almost all operating conditions. The material selection depends on the medium and environmental requirements:
Brass and gunmetal: The most common choices for water, air, and neutral gases.
Stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L): Used for aggressive chemicals, as well as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Ductile iron (GGG40): Suitable for larger sizes and industrial steam systems.
- Applications and Media
Goetze safety valves are designed to protect pressure equipment, pipelines, and tanks from overpressure. They are suitable for the following media:
Liquids: Water, oils, and chemicals.
Steam and gases: Industrial steam, compressed air, and technical gases.
Cryogenic media: Special models for extremely low temperatures, such as liquid nitrogen (down to -200°C).
- Key Product Types
Full-lift safety valves: Designed for situations requiring high discharge capacity quickly (e.g., steam boilers).
Standard-lift and proportional valves: Open in proportion to the pressure increase, reducing pressure shocks.
Compact valves: Small-sized valves for machinery and OEM applications.
- Standards and Certifications
Goetze strongly focuses on international approvals, making them an easy choice for global projects:
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) – European pressure equipment directive
ASME – U.S. and international standard
DNV, Lloyd’s Register – Marine industry certifications
EAC – Customs Union approvals
Why Choose Goetze?
Goetze’s strength lies in their ability to customize valves. You can often select sealing materials (e.g., NBR, EPDM, FKM, or PTFE) to suit your specific process, ensuring maximum durability and tightness.
Important Note
A safety valve is a safety device. When selecting one, the set pressure, temperature, and required discharge capacity must always be considered.
Goetze (Goetze KG Armaturen) is a German, globally respected manufacturer of safety valves with over 70 years of experience in pressure reduction and safety devices. Their products are especially known for quality, durability, and versatility.
