Design, manufacture, testing and documentation for Ball, Check, Gate and Plug
valves for the Petroleum and Natural Gas industries, for ratings to ASME Class
2500 (ASME B16.34) or PN 420 (EN1092-1).
End connections may be: Flanged, RTJ, BW and SW.
Face-to-Face Dimensions per API 6D, Table 4 (Ball valves), or ASME B16.10 (per
agreement).
Position Indication: Handle in-line with pipeline when valve is in open position,
and off 90 degrees when closed.
Lifting Points required for 8+ valves.
NDE per API 6D Annex A
Testing
Stem Backseat Test
Hydrostatic Shell at 1.5 x valve rating for 2-30 minutes depending on
valve size (Table 10) with no visible leakage.
Hydrostatic Seat Leakage at 1.1 x valve rating for 2-5 minutes depending
on valve size (Table 11) with leakage not more than ISO 5208, Rate D.
Special Testing per agreement with Purchaser
Hydrostatic Shell at higher pressure and/or longer test duration
Low-pressure Gas Seat Test
High-pressure Gas Seat Test
Anti-static Test
Torque/Thrust Functional Test
Cavity Relief Test (B.8.2 and B.8.3)
Class 600 are tested per Table 1. All valves which exceed size/rating are tested
to Table 2.
Ball Valves are required to be tested; Shell, Low-pressure Closure. High-pressure
Closure test is optional.
Shell pressure test is per Table 3 and generally for EVS to be the same as ASME
B16.34.
Test durations per Tables 5 and 6.
