Sizes and pressure ratings depend on construction, materials and configuration. Confirm the selected pressure-temperature rating with the quotation.
Technical data
The specification, in detail.
| Parameter | Technical specification |
|---|---|
| Size range | NPS 1/2-36 cast / NPS 1/2-48 forged |
| Pressure ratings | ASME Class 150-2500 |
| End connections | Socket weld (SW) · Butt weld (BW) · Flanged |
| Temperature range | Down to −196°C |
| Referenced design standards | API / BS / ASME / ASTM (specific standards to be confirmed) |
| Referenced pressure / seat tests | To be confirmed |
Nominal pressure and ASME class are different rating systems. Confirm the pressure–temperature rating for the selected material and design.
End connections
Define the interface.
Shown configuration: Heavy bolted end closures on the 8″ / Class 2500 reference; pipe-end preparation is not fully visible.
| Connection detail | Connection / selection requirement |
|---|---|
| Published connection | Socket weld, butt weld or flanged |
| Connection standard | Not specified on this product page. Confirm the mating standard with the offer. |
| Weld selection | Specify pipe OD, wall thickness/schedule, material and weld preparation. SW and BW are different connections. |
| Flange selection | Specify nominal size, flange rating, facing, drilling and gasket. Do not infer these from the image alone. |
The illustration shows one configuration. Published connection alternatives are options for enquiry; their availability depends on size, rating, material and design. Installation dimensions come from the drawing, not the illustration.
Materials
From body to seal.
A component material schedule is not published for this reference. Share your medium and service requirements so we can request the appropriate material specification.
Published material alternatives are configuration-dependent. H.F. denotes hard facing; the exact grade and material certificates are confirmed with the offer.
Selection notes
Defined around your application.
- Extended bonnet
- Manual, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic operation
- Cavity pressure-relief design
- Cryogenic treatment of parts specified below −100°C
- Fire-safe construction described in the technical record
Sizes and pressure ratings depend on construction, materials and configuration. Confirm the selected pressure-temperature rating with the quotation.
Sizes and pressure ratings depend on construction, materials and configuration. Confirm the selected pressure-temperature rating with the quotation.
Construction, materials, testing and fire-safe documentation are confirmed for the selected assembly.
Published ratings do not establish suitability for every listed medium. Oxygen cleaning, material compatibility, trapped-liquid relief and project approvals are specified for the selected assembly. Liquid-hydrogen and helium service require a separate temperature and material review.
