Common industrial standards and certifications — additional approvals available upon request and application requirements.
Industrial valves
Each valve type is recommended based on your specific application — EURAD selects from leading international manufacturers to guarantee performance.
EURAD’s control valves are quarter-turn butterfly valves — centric designs for pure throttling duties, and eccentric (offset) designs where tight shut-off must be combined with flow modulation. Where standard geometries fall short the valve design is modified for the specific application — as in our LNG truck-loading installation, where leakrate-A sealing had to coexist with continuous throttling at cryogenic conditions. Available across temperature ranges from −253°C to +1100°C and pressure ranges from vacuum to 100 Barg.
EURAD’s standard offering for metal-to-metal sealing is the 5-offset butterfly valve — delivering tight shut-off and long service life under demanding mechanical and thermal load. Suited to high-temperature steam, condensate and process-gas duties where soft-seated isolation is not an option. EURAD holds the Benelux distribution exclusivity for the 5-offset design, the result of decades of manufacturer-side geometric refinement.

Why triple-offsets leak at minus 196°C
Valve World Magazine · May 2017 · 2.2 MB PDF
EURAD's Managing Director profiled on the geometric principles behind metal-to-metal leakage under cryogenic conditions, specifically LNG as the medium in the accompanying article. The principle has since been further refined manufacturer-side into the 5-offset geometry.
Check valves prevent backflow and protect against water hammer in pipeline systems. Multiple design types are available — selected based on application requirements such as media, closing dynamics and system layout. Hydraulic or pneumatic damping can be specified where controlled closure and short closing times are critical.
Pressure relief valves safeguard pipeline systems against overpressure and vacuum conditions, enhancing safety and extending system service life. Fast response to pressure changes with proven reliability in the most demanding process conditions.
Air valves ensure optimal airflow management in pipelines, reducing pressure loss and maintaining efficient operations across all pressure ranges. Prevents airlocks and system inefficiencies in water and process pipelines. Float-ball mechanism vents trapped air during normal operation and admits air during vacuum events to protect against pipe collapse.
For applications where standard product ranges fall short — LNG and cryogenic duties, extreme high or low temperatures, tight shut-off classifications where the application demands it, demanding flow regulation and other specialised conditions — EURAD specifies, sources and supplies the valve matched to the system. Recent custom work includes the LNG bypass integration for circular flow during main-line shut-off, and bespoke butterfly modifications for chemical-plant duties. The catalogue is a starting point; the right valve is the one that fits.
Where process reliability matters
EURAD supports industrial applications where operational reliability, certification and performance under demanding process conditions are essential. Across water infrastructure, energy, metals, petrochemical processing and other industrial sectors, valves are selected and engineered according to duty conditions, certification requirements and long-term operational performance.
Wastewater, sewage & potable water
Flow, surge, pressure, vacuum and air control in influent, effluent and potable water systems — for operational reliability and energy-efficient system performance, sustaining required capacities. EURAD supports system designers with valve selection, sizing and integration engineering — through to pipelines and pumping stations.
Power generation
High-pressure steam, condensate and process-gas systems for power and energy plants. Specific solutions include 5-offset metal-seated butterfly valves for high-temperature isolation under thermal cycling, and anti-slam check valves combined with air release valves — in full duplex or Inconel where corrosion resistance, pressure integrity and shock containment must perform together.
Steel & metals
Flow control and regulation of process gases in steel manufacturing and aluminium smelting — valve designs supporting continuous high-temperature operations at leak rates varying from throttle control to tight shut-off. Specialised butterfly valves engineered for sustained service under thermal cycling, where conventional valve designs are not suitable for long-term operation due to seat or shaft-bearing clamping or accelerated wear.
Petrochemical & chemical

Where low weight and
high mechanical demands meet.
EURAD has developed and supplied certified cast aluminium products for over 35 years — for applications where low weight, fatigue resistance and certified material properties must perform together under demanding operating conditions. From certified aluminium reducers and adapters for marine loading arms and tanker manifold connections, to engineered wheel cores used in rollercoasters at major theme parks — both applications demand long-term mechanical reliability and maximum safety.
Engineered aluminium
for critical applications
EURAD’s cast aluminium division was established from a clear industrial need: applications where existing aluminium alloys could not meet the combined requirements of elongation, pressure resistance and cyclic fatigue performance. Within that context, EURAD developed the E39 alloy, applied notably in wheel cores for attractions certified under EN 13814 (TÜV-certified).
Since 1991, EURAD's cast aluminium spool pieces have held design approval from the Dienst voor het Stoomwezen — the former Dutch sovereign authority for pressure equipment — with stamps on all technical dimension tables. A design and quality continuity spanning multiple decades.
Every EURAD aluminium product is supplied with certified material properties and full test documentation — ensuring traceability and compliance with the applicable directives and standards.
Up to 50% lighter than steel equivalents — reducing handling effort where steel meets every requirement except weight
Elongation above 12% before cracks — uniform material properties throughout the casting, with no weld seams to compromise them. Fatigue performance below endurance limit; mechanical properties retained up to 180°C.
Corrosion resistance proven across marine, petrochemical and outdoor environments — over decades of service
Custom alloy development for specialised industrial requirements — engineered when common aluminium alloys fall short
Available certifications and standards — others available on request, depending on application
From tanker terminals to theme parks
One metallurgical foundation, two industries — how EURAD’s cast aluminium expertise grew from pressure-containing spool pieces into the proprietary E39 wheel-core alloy.
Marine origin
EURAD’s cast aluminium expertise began with a problem the marine terminal industry had not been able to solve. Operators handling heavy steel reducers and adapters on tank terminals, marine loading arm jetties and tankers wanted a lighter alternative — but aluminium had been rejected for this pressure-containing, safety-critical service as insufficiently reliable. A dedicated metallurgical study changed that. Where most foundries default to AlSi compositions, EURAD established sand-cast AlMg: harder to cast, but inherently superior in elongation, fatigue resistance and corrosion performance — exactly what pressure-containing service in marine environments demands. The alloy is supplied per AD 2000-Regelwerk with a VdTÜV-approved framework, certified under PED 2014/68/EU.
Cross-industry application
The same metallurgical foundation found a second application after a theme park inspection group raised a safety question: rollercoaster wheel cores in service were exhibiting fragment failures under cyclic load. EURAD’s casting alloy met the threshold — elongation reliably above 12% before cracks and fatigue performance below the endurance limit (Wöhler-curve verified) — and was put to work in rollercoaster wheel cores.
Designated the proprietary E39 alloy for amusement-industry documentation, the material is referenced in attractions certified under EN 13814 (TÜV-certified), supported by EURAD’s certified mechanical-properties assurance under normal use and maintenance with heat exposure kept below 180°C.
Engineered cast aluminium products
Three engineered aluminium product groups for demanding industrial applications.
EURAD’s reducers and adapters — reducing and adapter spool pieces — are certified cast aluminium components for marine loading-arm operations. Up to 50% lighter than steel equivalents — reducing handling effort and operator strain at tank terminals, jetties and tankers. Cast as a single monolithic body, with no weld seams to fatigue under boat movement and loading-arm cyclic loads. Supplied with TÜV certification for the alloy and PED 2014/68/EU Cat III Module H for pressure-containing applications, with corrosion resistance proven in marine environments.
Supplied as reducers (reducing spool pieces — e.g. 10″ ANSI 150# to DN200 DIN PN10 diameter transition) or adapters (adapter spool pieces — e.g. 8″ ANSI 150# to DN200 DIN PN10) with differing flange specifications at each end. Engineered for marine loading arm systems in accordance with EN 1474-1 / ISO 16904.
Aluminium gains strength at LNG cryogenic temperatures (−162°C) where steel becomes brittle — qualifying these cast spool pieces for cryogenic loading-arm service. Custom configuration adaptations can be engineered where standard designs require refinement. Company name and project markings can be cast directly into the body for permanent traceability — inherent to monolithic casting. Also referenced as aluminum reducers or aluminum spool pieces in US-specification installations.

Lighter couplings = safer terminal
Tank Storage Magazine · March/April 2014 · 1.3 MB PDF
Designed using EURAD’s proprietary E39 alloy, our wheel cores deliver durability and safety for rollercoasters in service with major theme park operators. The E39 alloy was developed to overcome the limitations of standard AlMg alloys as well as commonly used AlSi alloys — achieving elongation before cracks exceeding 12% (typically higher in production), fatigue performance below the endurance limit verified through Wöhler-curve analysis, and mechanical properties retained up to 180°C. This property retention covers both passenger-service operating conditions and the elevated curing temperatures of polyurethane re-treading, where conventional cast alloys risk over-aging and permanent loss of strength. EURAD provides certified mechanical-properties assurance on E39 in rollercoaster wheel core applications, conditional on normal use and maintenance with heat exposure kept below 180°C.
When standard aluminium alloys cannot meet your combined requirements, EURAD evaluates feasibility together with foundry engineering. Each case is considered on its own — mechanical, thermal and certification requirements, what is realistically achievable, and whether the development is worth pursuing. Each development path starts with technical feasibility assessment.
Where low weight meets certified performance
EURAD cast aluminium products are used in applications where low weight, certified material properties and long-term mechanical performance are essential.
Marine loading arms & tank terminals
Marine loading arm jetties, tank terminals and tankers rely on EURAD’s lightweight cast aluminium reducers and adapters — reducing and adapter spool pieces for ship-to-shore loading-arm to tanker manifold connections, cast as monolithic bodies without weld seams for safer and more efficient handling operations.
Configure for your application →Rollercoasters in amusement parks
EURAD’s E39 alloy is used in rollercoaster wheel cores for predominantly TÜV-certified attractions where passenger safety and cyclic durability are critical. Elongation above 12% before cracks, fatigue performance below the endurance limit and retained mechanical properties up to 180°C qualify E39 for continuous cyclic service. E39 wheel cores have been in continuous service across multiple generations of rollercoasters in amusement parks since the early 2000s.
Specialised industrial applications
For specialised industrial applications where weight, strength, corrosion resistance and certification must coexist, EURAD evaluates each case individually. Each development trajectory begins with technical feasibility evaluation alongside foundry engineering.
