BY SERVICE MEDIUM
Oil & Gas Valves
Liquid, gas, steam or slurry names used by buyers. The node is a route, not a corrosion allowance.
Choosing Oil & Gas Valves
Oil and gas describes a broad service group that can include liquids, dry or wet gases and contaminated streams. Material, sealing and actuator requirements depend on the actual fluid and project specification. Sour-service, fire-test or emissions claims must be supported for the offered assembly.
What to include in the RFQ
- State phase, composition, temperature, pressure and contaminants.
- Identify isolation or control duty and the required failure state.
- Request the specific material, fire/emissions or project qualification documents when required.
Selection scenario
For a remote isolation point, compare the valve sealing construction and actuator failure behavior together. Record the project-required evidence rather than assuming it from an oil-and-gas catalogue label.
Common selection mismatch
Industry application lists do not prove suitability for every hydrocarbon, sour fluid or safety duty.
