ISO 15761 is a standard for small-bore steel valves used in the oil and gas industry, covering sizes from DN 15 to DN 100 and pressure classes from Class 150 to Class 2500. It applies to gate valves, globe valves, and check valves. These valves are not produced in a single step, but through a sequential manufacturing chain. The quality of each stage directly affects the next. Understanding this chain helps identify critical issues more efficiently during valve selection, compliance review, and supplier evaluation. Complete Manufacturing Process Step 1: Material Selection Material determines the applicable service conditions and is the starting point of the entire process. Common materials under ISO 15761 include: ● Carbon steel for general oil and gas service ● Low-temperature carbon steel for cryogenic or low-temperature conditions (e.g., LNG applications) ● Stainless steel for corrosive media If the service contains hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), materials must also comply with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 to prevent sulfide stress cracking. This requirement is applied independently of ISO 15761. Incorrect material selection cannot be compensated by subsequent process control. Step 2: Forging This step determines the internal quality of the valve body. Forging involves forming heated metal under pressure, resulting in a dense internal structure with a lower probability of defects. It is typically preferred for high-pressure or high-reliability applications. For Class 800 and above, forged bodies are commonly selected in engineering practice to reduce internal defect risks and improve structural reliability, although final selection depends on project specifications. Step 3: Machining After forming, precision machining is performed to meet dimensional and sealing requirements. Sealing surface machining is a critical control point. The contact surfaces between the seat and disc must undergo multiple machining and lapping processes to achieve specified flatness and surface roughness, directly affecting shut-off performance. The stem surface must also meet low roughness requirements to ensure long-term packing sealing stability. Excessive roughness accelerates packing wear and may lead to external leakage during operation. Step 4: Welding (Hardfacing of Sealing Surfaces) This process is used to enhance sealing surface performance. For wear or corrosion-resistant applications, sealing surfaces are typically overlaid with hard alloys such as Stellite to improve resistance. During welding, heat input and dilution rate must be controlled to prevent excessive mixing of the base material, which would reduce surface hardness. The hardfacing layer is usually required to meet a specified hardness range (e.g., Stellite typically ≥ HRC 35–45). This process must be performed by qualified welders, with welding procedure specifications (WPS), procedure qualification records (PQR...
In applications requiring remote operation or frequent switching, an automatic line blind valve is typically equipped with either electric or hydraulic actuation. The fundamental difference between the two does not lie in whether they can be used, but in their load capacity, response characteristics, environmental adaptability, and system complexity. 1. Electric Actuation (Electric Actuated Line Blind Valve) Electric actuation uses a motor combined with a reduction gearbox to generate torque, driving the blind plate to complete the switching operation. Selection logic: ● If power supply on site is stable → electric actuation should be prioritized ● If remote control or automation integration (DCS/PLC) is required → electric actuation is more straightforward ● If switching frequency is relatively high → electric actuation allows better control of operation speed Key features: ● Simple control: can be directly integrated into control systems, enabling remote operation and position feedback ● Compact structure: no additional hydraulic power unit required ● Lower maintenance requirements: routine checks mainly involve the motor and gearbox Limitations: ● If valve size is large or high thrust is required → electric actuation may have insufficient torque ● If the environment is high-temperature, hazardous (explosive), or dusty → higher electrical protection standards are required (e.g., ATEX) ● If power supply is unstable or frequently interrupted → reliability may decrease Conclusion:If the application involves standard automation requirements and moderate load conditions, electric actuation is generally the preferred solution. 2. Hydraulic Actuation (Hydraulic Actuated Line Blind Valve) Hydraulic actuation generates thrust through hydraulic fluid pressure, making it suitable for high-load applications. Selection logic: ● If valve size is large (e.g., DN300 and above) → hydraulic actuation should be prioritized ● If high thrust is required or resistance/sticking needs to be overcome → hydraulic actuation is more stable ● If a hydraulic system is already available on site → integration cost is lower Key features: ● High thrust output: suitable for heavy-duty blind plates or high-pressure pipelines ● Stable operation: provides continuous output with strong resistance to shock loads ● Good controllability: enables precise control through pressure regulation Limitations: ● If no hydraulic power unit is available on site → system complexity increases ● If ambient temperature variation is significant → hydraulic fluid performance may fluctuate ● If maintenance is insufficient → leakage issues are more likely to occur Conclusion:If the application involves high load and high reliabili...
Recently, DERVOS Valve successfully passed the audit by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The company’s API Spec 6D certification for pipeline valves has been renewed, and the API 600 certification has also been issued. Both certificates are valid through 2029. What is an API6D certificate? API 6D is an internationally recognized standard for valves used in oil and gas pipeline transportation systems. It covers the full process requirements for design, manufacturing, and inspection of products such as ball valves, gate valves, and check valves. The certification typically requires renewal audits every three years. What is an API600 certificate? API 600 is an internationally recognized standard for steel gate valves used in oil and gas refinery applications. It defines requirements for design, materials, manufacturing, inspection, and testing. This certification is generally subject to renewal every three years to maintain validity. According to available information, the audit covered multiple aspects, including quality management system operation, production process control, inspection equipment calibration, and personnel qualifications. During the audit, the API inspection team conducted an on-site review of the entire process at DERVOS Valve, from raw material procurement to final product delivery. A representative from the company’s quality department stated that DERVOS Valve has been continuously improving its standardized system management and has established a quality control system covering the full product lifecycle. Key production processes are supported by standardized work instructions, and inspection records are fully traceable to individual orders. The successful renewal of these certifications demonstrates that DERVOS Valve continues to meet API requirements in product manufacturing and quality assurance within the industrial valve sector. It also supports the company’s qualification to supply products for international projects such as oil and gas pipelines and LNG receiving terminals. The company stated that it will continue to focus on standardized production and process management to ensure the effective operation of its quality management system.
