Koennte es das sein, was Sie suchen?

neutral  Sandy A Pirie: I initially tried to see if I could get some confirmation for you - the 'contoured' variety of valve is so common I felt there must be an equivalent; didn't find anything with 'fassoniert' however. I've had to enter a suggestion of my own.

Parabolkegel


Explanation:
Except if 'contoured' in your context is a type of ball valve (highly unlikely), it most probably refers to the shape of the valve plug.
After considerable searching, I found the two refs (D + E) from the same company (Flowserve).
"Contoured plug" in the exploded view on page 2
"Parabolkegel" in the German version
