Loss Contingency [Abstract]

Schedule of Loss Contingencies by Contingency

The following table reflects approximate information about the claims for the Asbestos Liability against Air & Liquid and the Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The majority of the settlement and defense costs were reported and paid by insurer carriers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
