Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| L-TORQ actuation torque reduction | Up to 50% lower actuation torque than standard sleeved plug valves (patent-pending controlled-compression sealing) | Crane ChemPharma & Energy — XOMOX Tufline/Tuflin Sleeved Plug Valves |
| L-TORQ size & pressure | 1/2"-6", Class 150/300 | Crane ChemPharma & Energy — XOMOX Tufline/Tuflin Sleeved Plug Valves |
| L-TORQ materials | WCB/CF8M/M35-1/CW6/CN7M | Crane ChemPharma & Energy — XOMOX Tufline/Tuflin Sleeved Plug Valves |
| Cavity-free design (family-wide) | "Cavity free" flow path stated across the sleeved-plug family — no dead pockets where process media can collect or crystallize | Crane ChemPharma & Energy — XOMOX Tufline/Tuflin Sleeved Plug Valves |
L-TORQ's replaceable modular PFA cartridge allows in-line repair without special tools, reducing downtime — a real maintenance-path advantage over a plug valve that has to come out of the line for reseating.
L-TORQ is one of the few products in this catalog that names mining explicitly in its own chemistry list, alongside hydrogen cyanide and sulfuric acid — the two chemistries a gold or copper leach circuit runs simultaneously — and its cavity-free plug design is the mechanism, not the marketing, behind why it doesn't crystallize shut the way a cavity-prone valve would.
