HYDRAULICS Aerospace, energy, and process industries increasingly rely on systems operating at very high pressures, where material limits and design tolerances are continually tested. Under these conditions, overall system performance often depends on the reliability of individual components. baromax - a WEH company - develops and manufactures valves specifically engineered for such environments. Focusing on ultra-high-pressure applications, baromax designs and produces valves for demanding gas and fluid systems. Each unit reflects a detailed understanding of mechanical loading, material behaviour, and sealing integrity under extreme conditions. Rated for working pressures of up to 10,000 bar, baromax valves are designed for use in pressure testing rigs, hydroforming systems, isostatic presses, research facilities, and industrial gas installations. They maintain leak-tight operation even when exposed to significant variations in temperature and pressure. The design emphasis is on durability and operational reliability, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting long service life. Valve components are precisionmachined from high-grade stainless steels and selected alloys to provide corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. The overall design approach prioritises functional simplicity, ensuring consistent actuation, smooth operation, and secure sealing during continuous operation. The baromax range includes manual and pneumatically actuated models, as well as check, metering, and shut-off valves. Configurations are modular, allowing adaptation to specific operating parameters or system architectures — from hydrogen testing facilities and compressor units to laboratory-scale research systems. Each valve undergoes comprehensive in-house testing to confirm pressure 22 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS October 2025 www.hpmag.co.uk Precision components for extreme pressure control integrity, leak performance, and endurance under cyclic loads. The integration of WEH’s long-standing experience in precision engineering ensures consistent manufacturing quality and traceability across the product range. baromax technology is increasingly applied in hydrogen-related systems, where safe and reliable high-pressure control is essential for production, transport, and refuelling processes. This work aligns with broader industry efforts to establish secure and efficient hydrogen infrastructures. In all applications, baromax valves are designed to deliver stable, predictable performance under extreme conditions. The combination of mechanical precision, materials engineering, and controlled manufacturing defines the company’s approach to high-pressure technology.
