Hello Gentlemen,
I need to get some information about gate valve testing. I'm working on PSL 2 and PSL 3 10000 PSI WP valves and I need to modify the test procedures to comply with API 6A Specification. Up to now we performed the hydro test at the Working Pressure. I need to upgrade the system...
Gents,
can it consider reliable an Hydraulic test of High Pressure Equipment designed for gas wells.
Have someone experience on discrepancies showed by comparison between gas and hydraulic test.
Are there web addresses on which could I find more details.
Thanks in advance!
I'm speaking about conical gasket with the external diameter oversized. I want to do this to well energize the gasket but I'm not sure that this will solve my problem. Have you any experience on this?
Hi Gents,
I'd like to know what can happen if I install a oversized gasket (AISI 316) between body and bonnet of a gate valve (F6NM). Any consideration will be appreciated

Hi,
my Valves should be designed on API6/API2 standard. They was designed to work in high H2S concentration and at 10k psi. I can not add more details cause I inherited them whitout the right documentation.
Hello,
I gonna to do some modification on gate valves and I'd like to have information about a suitable handbook for the calculation of the minimum wall thickness required and other specification necessary for the final design approval.
Thanks
each other suggestion will be appreciate!
