Parker Hannifin has a complete range of valves that conform to the API 6A specification for Christmas tree and wellhead applications.
For a number of years, Parker has offered a range of double block and bleed, process to instrument valves in 5,000 PSI and 10,000 PSI maximum rated working pressures. The needle valve version is already available in all three pressure ratings (5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 PSI), but the ball valve version has only been available in 5,000 and 10,000 PSI until now. Due to customer demand for higher pressure straight-through bore, Parker has introduced a 15,000 PSI fire-safe version to complete the range in both configurations.
All Parker’s double block and bleed valves have been tested for conformance to API 6A specifications by an independent test house, as well as by the internal test laboratory that Parker operates at its European design and manufacturing facility in Barnstaple, UK. The valves are Saudi ARAMCO-approved and comply with the 9-com material classification system.
The new 15k ball valve and existing range will be exhibited at Offshore Europe, 5-8th September. Parker will also be exhibiting the original needle-needle-needle valve with Hub ends and Parker Autoclave Engineers’ outlet combination.
