Are your personnel, operations, and the environment protected by a validated, proven ESD design?

Critical isolation calls for more than a general-service valve. It requires a proven design engineered and validated for the application.

CORTEC ESD valves undergo comprehensive performance testing and quality assurance checks to verify they meet or exceed applicable industry standards. From design through final testing, safety, reliability, and repeatable performance are built into every valve we manufacture.

Is your ESD system engineered for dependable isolation when it matters most?

Can we toot our own horn for a minute?📯

We’re fortunate to have leaders who believe in their people, create opportunities, and take care of the team along the way.

That kind of leadership has helped CORTEC grow into more than a company. It has helped build a place where people can grow with it.

So yes, we may be biased.

Best bosses ever? We’ll stand by it.

Happy Boss’s Day!

CORTEC’s monoflange valve has successfully passed API 607 and API 6FA fire testing, validating the sealing technology engineered into the design.

At the stem, a multi-gland sealing system incorporates a lip seal backed by a packing set, providing multiple sealing barriers for demanding service conditions. The addition of the lip seal is a key part of what sets the CORTEC design apart, adding another level of sealing integrity where performance matters most.

Extreme heat puts every component and sealing surface to the test. Our monoflange was built for that challenge and proved it.

Engineered for isolation. Tested under fire. Crafted for Confidence.
