API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve

API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve

API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve

(OP)
Can someone provide me valve manufacturers that currently have an expanding gate valve product with API 6A PR2 certification (API 5000 rating, size 7-1/16")?

RE: API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve


I assume this is (as it seems) a difficult one. One (costly) solution is always the companies specializing in 'one off' fabircation and testing of valves on short notice, often from massive metal-block machining. Have you searched Europe and suppliers for offshore North Sea and Arctic?

RE: API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve

(OP)
Unfortunately, our procurement team only tried getting bids from the Asia Pacific region. The vendor who won the package (which includes this type of valve) claims that there is no valve manufacturer who can do this. How difficult is it to produce an expanding gate valve to PR2 specs? I'm just curious. Thanks.

RE: API 6A PR2 certified expanding gate valve

There are several european companies (e.g Petrolvalves, Pacson etc) that produce valves according to API 6A PR2 with 5000psi presure rating, depending on the size if it will be a special design.
Just out of curiosity, any reason for choosing an expanding gate?
