Frequently Asked Questions
What are the available sizes for the API 6A FC Gate Valve?
The valve comes in several nominal diameters including 2-1/16, 2-9/16, 3-1/16, 4-1/16, 5-1/8, and 7-1/16.
What pressure ratings does this valve support?
It is designed to handle a wide range of working pressures: 2000PSI, 3000PSI, 5000PSI, 10000PSI, and up to 15000PSI.
Is the valve suitable for H2S and CO2 environments?
Yes, the working medium includes oil, natural gas, mud, and gases containing H2S and CO2, making it highly versatile for harsh environments.
What is the advantage of the full bore design?
The full bore design effectively eliminates pressure drops and vortexes, which helps in slowing down the erosion/flushing caused by solid particles in the fluid.
Can the stem packing be replaced while under pressure?
Yes, the valve features a back seal design for the stem, which allows for the safe and easy replacement of packing even when the valve is under pressure.
What automation options are available for these valves?
Depending on your specific operational requirements, we can equip the valves with either pneumatic or hydraulic actuators.
