Safety Valve and PRV (ASME/API 526)

Safety Valve and PRV (ASME/API 526) Safety Valve A safety valve is protection equipment that is invented to control the pressure in operation. This valve protects people and the environment from overpressure that may produce explosions or different damages. When a set pressure exceeds, a safety valve opens automatically. A safety valve is the

13Cr Steel In Oil And Gas

13Cr Steel In Oil And Gas In most conditions when the partial pressure of CO2 is above 30psi, carbon steels present high corrosion rates. Steel grades alloyed with high contents of Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo) and Nickel (Ni) are able to effectively resist corrosion. 13Cr Steel OCTG Pipe made with 13% Chromium (13Cr) are
