ASME Section III, Class 3 Valve W/ "N" Stamp

ASME Section III, Class 3 Valve W/ "N" Stamp

ASME Section III, Class 3 Valve W/ "N" Stamp

(OP)
Hi,

I am working on a modification that requires the replacement of ASME Section III, Class 3 valve which requires the "N" stamp. The valve is needed for the upcoming outage that is 2 months from now. Unfortunately, the lead time for new valve is no less than 48 weeks. I am reaching out to other utilities to locate a valve that I can use. What I need to know is what process to I need to follow to qualify the new valve for my application and how long the process takes.

Thanks

RE: ASME Section III, Class 3 Valve W/ "N" Stamp

Your best bet is to find another plant with a surplus valve. We no longer carry our "N" stamp but even at our height when we had a "N" stamp a crazy quick delivery for a class 3 valve would have been 6 months. (typical deliveries were 12-18 months)

You can try Wier valve. They do have a "N" stamp program and I know they can turn parts for safety related valves very quickly. However I'm not sure if they can do it with full valves.
