Hydrogen-Certified Ball Valves for Safe and Reliable Performance

In Canada, Armour Valve proudly supplies Boehmer Ball Valves, a global leader in ball valve technology and API 6D-certified, hydrogen-ready (up to 100%) ball valves. With more than 20 years of expertise in hydrogen applications, Boehmer has played a key role in hydrogen blending projects, delivering safe, durable, and high-performance flow control solutions.

Designed to meet the unique demands of hydrogen service, Boehmer Ball Valves use high-purity materials to prevent embrittlement. Their precision-engineered wall thickness ensures reliability in both high-pressure environments and the lower pressures typical of hydrogen applications. A fully welded design eliminates potential leak paths—critical for maintaining system integrity—while the stem assembly meets ISO fugitive emissions standards and is helium-tested to guarantee performance even after 50,000 cycles.

Boehmer has been a leader in ball valve solutions for more than 60 years.

For hydrogen infrastructure that demands certified safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability, Boehmer Ball Valves are a proven choice in the evolving energy landscape.

Boehmer valves are also well-suited for carbon capture applications. Engineered to withstand the high pressures and demanding conditions of CO2 handling, their double-piston-effect technology and self-relieving seats ensure reliable performance by automatically adjusting to pressure change.

High-Performance Hydrogen Control with Zero Emissions

The VRG Red Ox Regulator is fully tested and proven for use in hydrogen applications up to 100%. This compact stainless-steel valve delivers reliable, high-performance gas control. Its single-piston design replaces the traditional diaphragm, enhancing durability while reducing maintenance costs.

Built with VRG’s zero steady-state emissions technology and carbon capture features, it eliminates atmospheric emissions, ensuring environmental compliance. The valve’s protected seat insert ensures secure shutoff, while its bubble-tight sealing and true axial flow design provide exceptional efficiency in demanding applications. Designed for long service life, a fully hydrogen-ready version with 316SS metallurgy is also available, making it a durable and future-proof solution for hydrogen infrastructure.

Compact, High-Performance Safety Valves for Hydrogen Applications

Goetze safety valves are trusted in hydrogen refueling stations worldwide, operating at pressures up to 21,756 psi. Goetze’s unwavering commitment to quality and safety has solidified its position as a leading manufacturer of safety valves.

For more than 70 years, Goetze has specialized in high-performance valves and fittings for liquids, gases, and vapors under pressure. The series 492 safety valve stands out for its compact, lightweight design—half the size and weight of comparable models—making it attractive for installations with limited space. Additionally, the rotatable outlet housing offers maximum flexibility, allowing for easy adjustments even after installation and ensuring seamless integration into existing pipeline systems.

Globe Valves Designed for Durability and Easy Maintenance

Conval Globe Valves have been a trusted choice for hydrogen service, offering proven reliability, safety, and environmental performance in the most demanding applications. Designed for longevity, Conval Globe Valves feature a 360-degree packing compression system that ensures a secure seal, minimizing fugitive emissions.

The innovative body-to-bonnet seal provides superior leakage prevention compared to conventional seals, while built-in safety features further enhance performance under extreme conditions. The modular design allows for in-line repairs, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. With nearly 50 years of field-proven durability, Conval Globe Valves offer extended service life, as well as reduced replacements and environmental impact.

National Sales Manager

I am a mechanical engineer with 30 years of plant, sales and service experience. I have been on both sides of the desk and can relate with you when issues arise in the plant. You can trust that I won’t recommend a product unless I know that it will do the job for you.

Marc Soucy, P.Eng

Directeur National des Ventes

J’ai un diplôme en génie mécanique avec 30 ans d’expérience dans les usines, les ventes, et le service. J’ai été de chaque côté du bureau et je comprends lorsque des problèmes font surface dans l’usine, l’importance que l’on doit y apporter. Vous pouvez être sûr que je ne recommanderai pas un produit à moins que je sache qu’il convient à votre application.
