Looking at 10K Instrument Connections and cannot find an answer to this, hopefully someone here can assist.
Why are BSPP and NPT offered as 10K Fitting Connections but BSPT is not. I'm looking at 1/2" in particular where NPT and BSPT as almost identical in Taper Angle, Pitch, just the Thread...
Is anyone aware of any IBR (Indian Boiler Regulation) approved Forgemaster or Foundry in Europe? We need to purchase a small number of Forged Billets or Castings.
Looking for an idea on design spec for 10K fittings, currently using BS3799 for 6K. Vendor is suggesting making Tees/Elbows from Solid bar for 10K, this is not allowed for 6K in the BS but we notice that the likes of Parker mention making 10K fittings from Bar which seems to also cover...
We have recently carried out a Fire Test on Behalf of a Client on a 'Stock' 2" ANSI 150RF Wedge Gate Valve. Around half way through the burn period there was a 'Pop', the Stem Thermocouple dropped slightly and there was a slight 'Roar' from the fire. The Pressure remained constant and...
I'm looking for some thoughts on Material Qualification of Fire-tested Valves according to ISO 10497:2010 and API 607 7th Edition.
We have tested 2" & 6" ANSI 150/600/1500 in Carbon Steel to Qualify 1/2" - 12" ANSI 150-1500. We are now looking at Testing Stainless and Duplex to complete the...

We have recently offered ANSI 2500 Valves to a client in A182 F316L material (As F316L is more readily available than F316). Our client has reject the offer as according to ANSI B16.5 1996 and B16.34 2004 the max working pressure for these materials are 5000psi.
The Valves are manufactured...
I have several trainee engineers that we need to start giving some general Valve Training to; Types, Selection, Materials, History etc etc.
Does anyone know of any good Sites that have useful information?
We were recently asked to Validate Charpy Impact Values of an A352 LCC Finished Machined Valve Body Casting. The Mill Certificate gave an average of 24J @-46Deg C with a minimum single reading of 23J.
After taking 10mm x 10mm Samples across the flange (Between the Bolt Holes) and carrying out...
My company produces its Assembly drawings using X-Ref's however a client wants copies of our assemblies as DWG files but without all of the layer info.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to achieve this.
A couple of years ago I saw some components (Valve Ball and Seats) which had undergone a solution treatment which Increased the Surface Hardness of the components and turned the parts almost black in colour.
Whatever the treatment was it did not involve too high a temperature as it was carried...
