Valves Applications in Oil & Gas

The Oil and Gas Industry insists of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting and the marketing of products. Almost every procedure need lots of pipeline products.

Pipeline products can be found widely in the oil & gas industry. Here are some examples:

• All kinds of valves 

• Welded pipes, seamless pipes

• Butt weld fittings, threaded pipe fittings 

• Forged flanges 

• Gaskets

• Rubber joint

Some of the most common types of valves for oil and gas include:

• For oil refining equipment. Most of the valves used in oil refining equipment are pipeline valves, such as gate valves, globe valves, check valves, safety valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and traps. Among them, gate valves are the most widely used and account for about 80% of the total valves.

• For chemical fiber device. Chemical fiber products mainly include polyester, acrylic and vinylon. For such device, the most widely used valves are ball valves and jacketed valves (jacketed ball valves, jacketed gate valves, jacketed stop valves).

• For acrylonitrile device. This device generally requires standard valves, such as gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, traps, needle globe valves, and plug valves. Among them, gate valves account for about 75% of the total valves;

• For synthetic ammonia plant. As the ammonia source and purification method are different, the process flow is different, the technical function of the required valve is also different. At present, for domestic ammonia plants, they mainly need gate valves, globe valves, check valves, traps, butterfly valves, ball valves, diaphragm valves, regulating valves, needle valves, safety valves, high temperature and low temperature valves.

Which flanges are used in the oil and gas industry?

Slip on , slip on, weld neck, threaded, socket, slip on, RTJ. All these can be used as per actual requirement.
