In which kind of application fire testing of valves is required
In which kind of application fire testing of valves is required
(OP)
Hi,
I just have a quick question for you. I'm wondering in which applications fire testing of valve is required.
So I'm wondering why someone should choose a valve that is API 607 tested over an other one?

On offshore oil or gas installations and petrochemical plants most fire hazards are either hydrocarbon or jet fire.
These fires are much hotter (over 2000°F) and more erosive than the fires used to test to these API standards and the valves may require to have additional fire protection covers to work in a real fire situation.
