Forged components for nuclear reactors, boiler systems, piping Valves are pivotal in various industrial contexts. Forged parts designed for nuclear reactors, boiler assemblies, pipeline construction, and safety valves are crucial elements in various industrial applications. Safety valves, typically pressure relief valves, stand out as paramount safety features within most systems. Their primary function is to safeguard pressurized vessels like steam boilers, reactor vessels, and pipelines from potentially hazardous pressure surges. In the event, that pressure exceeds safe limits, these valves release trapped gases, vapors, or liquids either into the atmosphere or into designated manifold systems. The West German drop forge KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH in Hagen (NRW) boasts decades of proficiency in crafting drop-forged components tailored for pressure applications compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and for nuclear facilities adhering to KTA, AVSD, and RCCM standards.

KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH in Western Germany has decade long experiences in the production of forgings for the energy market. Examples: •Forgings for nuclear power plants and hydrogen technology •Forged valve parts for nuclear and hydrogen applications •Forges components for nuclear fission and fusion reactors •Non-standard flanges and fittings of stainless steel like 316L or duplex •Special materials resistant against neutron or hydrogen embrittlement •Acid-resistant forgings for molten salt applications like fluid reactors or solar thermal power plants. In addition to this KB hold 5 certifications for the international maritime industry: •American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) •Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) •Det Norske Veritas (DNV) •Lloyds Register (LR) •Nippon Kaiji Kyōkai (ClassNK) Examples are forged parts for industrial valves, boiler and pipeline construction. This includes various valve components, pipe connecting elements and special flanges.
