    Newbie question - About design of subsea valves

    @ gerhardl: That is exactly what I began with ;-) But even with this, I was hurting myself to the same thing again and again. And thanks for the luck :-)

    Newbie question - About design of subsea valves

    Many thanks, this is an approach I didn't think of!!!

    Newbie question - About design of subsea valves

    Thanks BigInch. But then what concerning the seals, trunnions bearing (these are ball valves),... Which class should they follow?

    Newbie question - About design of subsea valves

    Hi all. My question will certainly look like evident for some people. I'm currently beginning design of subsea valves. I read several standards, but there is something I can't fix about the class pressure. What I retained is that the design has to follow a pressure class as any other valve...

    Subsea valves - Informations needed

    Thanks for those answers! SJones: isn't API 6DSS equivalent to ISO 14723?

    Subsea valves - Informations needed

    Hello all. I hope I post this message at the right place... I am currently benchmarking to get a foot on the subsea valves market. My boss would like to promote this new project. I found some general informations I needed (constructors, standards like the new API 6DSS,...), but I'd like to...

    Cryogenic Globe Valve Flow Direction

    It is probably due to the design of the valve, which prescribe no leakage in a particular direction. The pressure of the fluid may be used to push down the disc against the seat, to have a zero leakage capability in that direction, which would not be true if the fluid tends to take the disc...

    LNG Valves

    As far as I know, the standards are effectively not that clear. In fact, in my industry, we use rules of thumb to calculate this length in cryogenic applications. Some basic calculations were done in R&D some years ago, and then in function of fluid used, size of the valve and materials, we...

    CV by FEA simulation

    Thanks a lot! I'll try this right now, and be back to let you know how it works!

    CV by FEA simulation

    Maybe I should add some details, in order to have some directions where to go: The general test is the following: I add pipes at the inlet and outlet of my CAD model (2 times the ND at the inlet and 6 times the ND at the outlet, following ISA S75-02), then I apply some pressure at the inlet...

    CV by FEA simulation

    Hello all, I'm new on this forum, and quite new also in the valve world. Since last july, I (try to) handle a Fluid Finite Elements Analysis software to do flow calculations through the valves I design. In particular I'd like to use it to determine CV. But the more I try to understand, the...
