Lapping is a grinding process. It is done to remove high spots and to create a good seal between two surfaces. A typical example would be lapping valves in an auto engine
Difference between Resilient seated valves and Metal seated valve?
The difference is "soft seated" or "metal seated". Soft seated valves are used in gas applications were any leakage is absolutely not tolerated. The materials used are Teflon or ceramic. Metal seated valves can have very tight shut-off, it all depends on the coating, pressure in the line, and the lapping of the surfaces.
