Anti friction treatment(AFT) in Plug Valve
- Thread starter quiinces
- Start date
Out of curiosity I checked the internet and found at one of the more known suppliers following:
'Super-LoMu Treatment Super LoMu is our proprietary PTFE based anti-friction treatment . All TIPV plugs and stems are Super Lomu treated to ensure our valves have the lowest possible torques over the longest possible lifetime . Super LoMu is a treatment of the metal surface that reduces coefficient of friction while maintaining a true metal-to-metal contact, and we can apply it to every material combination .'
Competing suppliers might have other brand names for AFT- but the reason is as simple as one might think.
