Subsea Check Valve
Subsea valve is a general term for all valves applied to underwater pipelines. At present, the submarine valves are mainly concentrated in the underwater pipelines and pipelines of offshore oil and gas projects. At the same time, underwater valves also have certain applications on deep sea submersibles.
At present, the subsea valve is mainly a ball valve, a slab gate valve and a check valve. The operation mode mainly adopts hydraulic motion, ROV operation and manual operation (shallow water).
The design criteria for subsea valves are currently:
API 6DSS Subsea pipeline valves
API 17D Subsea Wellhead and Tree Equipment
The difference between the development of subsea valves and conventional valves is mainly the influence of external pressure resistance on wall thickness, the influence of submarine working conditions (such as ocean current, sea creatures, fishing nets) on the external structure of the valve, seabed anticorrosive coating, electrode corrosion, etc. . These companies are not only investing in a large number of personnel in the software design and development, but also investing in external pressure test chamber equipment, seawater corrosion test chambers and other special inspection and testing equipment.
