A valve includes a seat surrounding an orifice having a concave seating surface and a plug having an annular sealing surface for sealingly contacting the seat. The sealing surface is convex and creates a convex discontinuity in an axially-extending, cross-sectional profile of the plug. The sealing surface retains approximately the same amount of contact area with the seating surface when the plug is misaligned or tilted with respect to the seat as when aligned.
