A Global Company with a ‘Glocal’ approach

Bray may be a global company but they have recognised the importance of modifying their valves to fulfil European market requirements. As one of the world leaders in butterfly valves, Bray continues to implement improvements in the design of existing products and as a result of continual analysis of the market place introduce new products to an already comprehensive portfolio.

Paul Tanner, Bray’s National Sales Manager said ‘Bray’s strength is working closely with our customer’s to ensure their operations run smoothly and safely with minimal disruption.’

Bray UK has adopted a proactive customer focused approach, increasing awareness of their customers’ specific needs and being more intuitive to their Industry demands. It is this consummate level of service that has installed complete confidence in the total reliability of Bray.

Flow-tek, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bray has recently included the S19 segmented Ball valve to their range and a severe service valve for arduous duty in the power and oil and gas industries.

In addition to these new developments the series F15- 30 valves have been upgraded in design - conforming to EN 17292 - and are available in both full and reduced bore in PN 10 through PN 40 in EN approved material. With due consideration for the environment and the promotion of energy efficiencies the valves are compliant with EN 15848.

The Bray HPBV has been a market leader in Europe for many years. The unique design of sealing affords this valve suitability for a full range of service conditions across many industries. The valve is certified fire safe (EN 10497) and is extensively used in the oil and gas industry where low torques and high pressure (up to 100 bar) but above all high integrity are demanded.

The Bray HPBV continues to evolve and is now offered with a metal seat and for ultralow temperatures - the polar seat, but the most exciting development is the addition of a brand new envelope that is 100% DIN compatible in respect of the design (EN 593) and materials (all EN approved) the re- design allows significant weight reductions and some imaginative features,for example – external adjustment re travel – new wedge driven shaft / disc retention that allows flexibility of drive shafts – long neck length to allow for pipe / valve installation . The DIN – HPBV is offered PN 10/ 16/ 25/40 flange compatible and is 100% zero leakage (soft seat).

This product will give Bray a platform for major growth in Europe where full EN / DIN compliance is mandatory whilst the existing valve (compliant with ANSI – ASTM standard) will consolidate together with the triple offset valve Bray’s position in the oil and gas market.

Bray offer these valves both butterfly and ball to market with one of the most extensive ranges of quarter turn ranges of automation covering on / off and control valves. The valves are assembled and fully tested in dedicated ISO certified centres in Europe (Germany and the UK) thus ensuring when packages arrive on site they have simply to be installed and commissioned by site personnel.

The introduction of the new S98 Scotch Yoke Actuator adds another dimension to the Bray catalogue. It is a truly modular design with separate Torque, Pressure and Spring modules which affords optimum actuator selection. The actuatoris SIL 3 capable and comes with PED and ATEX certification. With direct mount capability Bray can offer complete valve actuation packages, set and tested up to and including size DN 1200, along with Bray’s complete line of positioners, status monitors and solenoids.
