MT Group Co. Ltd. is pleased to announce the delivery for a major Shell project in the North Sea, delivering a Super Duplex F53 1” 1500# metal seated ball valve. The urgent delivery of this valve was of critical importance for the project’s completion.
From order to ex works delivery we took 8 weeks and this included ordering of dedicated special forgings (Super Duplex material is always a challenge for lead-times and normally cannot be sourced at such short deliveries), conduct complicated chemical analyses of those forgings, 100% in-house machining, assembly, testing, (special) painting and packing.
In 2024 MT Group successfully conducted its first full Design Validation Testing (DVT) witnessed by Shell, in full compliance with Shell’s rigorous MESC SPE 77/300 requirements. End 2024 MT Group, with its subsidiaries MT Okay and MT Sunko, were listed in Shell’s TAMAP.
The valve is made from F53 Super Duplex which is known for its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, built to withstand the extreme North Sea conditions.
The successful completion of this project further solidifies MT Group’s position as the go-to source for critical and urgent delivery valves in exotic materials at high design and manufacturing standards, while also being able to supply major projects against normal manufacturing lead times.
