Extreme dimensions
Fittings in "XXL" size
Extreme media temperatures, extreme pressure levels, extreme tightness and - extreme dimensions. Precise control valves for scientific applications, media resistant globe valves for the chemical industry, miniaturised blow-off valves for space probes, fine-meshed gas strainers, gigantic valves for gas exploration: fittings from STÖHR in standard or special execution are in operation at thousands of sites worldwide and reliably working at 24/7.
From "XXS" to "XXL" size, our valves meet the highest quality expectations and requirements for acceptance with our customers. Especially for large nominal diameters up to DN300, STÖHR ARMATUREN has developed a family of valves with bellows sealing and strainers adapted from the successful series UNIVERS 1200 , UNIVERS 1600 or FREES 1200: control valves, globe valves, check valves and gas filters both for cryogenic or ambient temperatures. Sealing with bellows protects against leakage to the environment and offers additional safety for man and plant combined with highest energy efficiency possible.

Important to know
- Below sealing for high tightness to the environment, especially when operating with flammable or combustible gases (H2, O2)
- Drawing approval by customer before production release, in particular with regards to the pipe routing in the plant and related position of end connections
- Designed and tested in accordance with PED 2014/68 / EU and AD 2000 leaflets
- Fittings up to Cat. III of the PED may be developed and tested by STÖHR under constant monitoring by TÜV SÜD. For valves of category IV of the PED, STÖHR undertake all necessary coordination work with the notified body (TÜV SÜD) from drawing approval to final acceptance test
- Issuing all necessary certificates acc. PED and AD 2000 leaflets
- Issuing the EU Declaration of Conformity including affixing the CE mark
- ATEX conformity
- Declaration of conformity SIL acc.IEC 61508
- STÖHR Standard Quality Control Plan:
- Vision test with control of weld DIN EN ISO 5817
- Functional test DIN EN 12266-2
- Hydraulic pressure test (at factor 1.5 time x PN) acc. to DIN EN 12266-1
- Leak tests for control of leackage to the environment (water bubble test, helium leak test DINB 1779) - Optional QA services:
- PMI (Material Testing)
- Non-destructive tests:
-- X-ray test for welds at pressure-bearing parts acc. to DIN EN ISO 17636
-- Ultrasonic testing scc. to DIN ESO 22825
-- Colour-penetration test acc. to DIN EN ISO 3452
– LIN cold test
– Final Acceptance Test (FAT) in presence of customer representative and/or external auditor (TPI) - Optional QA services may be performed acc. to other rules & standards on request
- Transportation: due to heavy weight requirements, the valves are equipped with locating pads. Gearbox (manual drive) or pneumatic / hydraulic actuator must be dismantled after factory acceptance test and delivered separately packed. Delivery takes place in sturdy wooden boxes.
Best for Helium - and nothing gets lost.
We offer solutions for liquid helium applications.Valves from STÖHR optimize effort and cost for an efficient transport of the medium to and within your gas plant.
Best for Helium
When used in 24 / 7 / 52 continuous operation, STÖHR valves are not immune to errors, despite their tried and tested design, the use of the best materials and careful processing during assembly and testing. If this happens, we offer support:
Valve Service
Pneumatic or electric actuators from different manufacturers, attachments for control valves, different valve cones, flushing valves or surface fineness - STÖHR ARMATUREN offers various options for the configuration of your valves:
