Cladding Valve
Cladding Valve
(OP)
Dear All,
I am facing an upstream oil&gas processing facilites project which the client tries to reduce a lot of cost. One of the is "cladding valve".
They specify cladding valves such as:
- Body Carbon steel with Incoloy/inconel cladded, for gate/globe/check/ball type valves
- The ball of ball valves also are cladded, CS ball with SS316 cladding, CS ball with incoloy/inconel cladded.
Kindly give me some advice for which valve manufacturer has a reliable experience list for the above type valve.
Is there any special concern I must aware of for cladded valve constuction?

OGMetEngr is right. Generally I would add that you should focus on the exact demands, procedures and tests that the end user require. The producer, if not experienced or with uneven quality, could cost you and the end-user far more than the saved material cost. For some types, sizes and pressure classes the price for cladded valves might be higher or equal a solid metal version in the correct material.
