proper valve call out

proper valve call out

proper valve call out

(OP)
I'm currently looking at field sketches that instead of showing the standard call out for valves (i.e. 150# etc) what I'm getting; for example, 275WP or 275WOP and 275WOG. What is up with WOP and WOG?

RE: proper valve call out

WOG is Water Oil or Gas

RE: proper valve call out

(OP)
So what does that tell me ..... it is good for water oil or gas.... is this good for valve rating

RE: proper valve call out

275WOG would indicate that the valve is rated to 275 psi cold working pressure.  As hydrae said: Water-Oil-Gas,

275SWP would be the rated Steam Working Pressure (Saturated) on a device so stamped.

ASME 150, 300, 600.....4500 are very specific and meaningful standards.  Individual alloys are identified and rated for different pressures at different temperatures. You have to look in the tables, tho'.  This is now an ASME standard (B16.34, B16.5) Was known as ANSI B16.5, and 34 previously and still predominantly referred to as ANSI specs..  Long ago, was known as ASA.  


Never encountered 275WOP before, but I'm pretty sure it is not an Italian standard.
