INDUSTRIAL VALVES Improve the design and safety of your industrial valves with this comprehensive guide Industrial valves are used to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, or slurries. They are fundamental to multiple industries, including marine shipping, in which valves regulate power supply, wastewater, water for fire-fighting, and other shipboard essentials. They are also critical to the oil and gas industry, where valves are used to control the flow of oil or gas out of deposits, direct the crude oil refining process, protect key areas and equipment from spillage and overflow, and more. Without the safety and regulating power provided by industrial valves these industries could not proceed. This book provides a thorough introduction to the modeling and calculation of key challenges related to valve design, manufacturing, and operation. It focuses particularly on solving problems of material failure due to corrosion and cavitation, allowing readers to construct valve designs that will maximize safety and reliability. It is a critical resource in helping protect workplaces, industrial sites, and valuable equipment from the externalities of these fundamental industrial resources. Readers will also find: Applied calculations based on real-life cases from industry Information based on international standards including NORSOK (Norwegian standard) and IECs (European standards) Based on decades of experience in the relevant industries Industrial Valves is a useful reference for engineers and practitioners in the oil and gas and marine industries, piping engineers, valve manufacturers, and more.

Prevention of Valve Fugitive Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry delivers a critical reference for oil and gas engineers and managers to get up-to-speed on all factors surrounding valve fugitive emissions. New technology is included on monitoring, with special attention given to valve seals which are typically the biggest emitting factor on the valve. Proper testing requirements to mitigate future leaks are also covered. Rounding out with international standards, laws and specifications to apply to projects around the world, this book gives today's engineers updated knowledge on how to lower emissions on today's equipment. - Helps readers understand the sources and key factors that contribute to fugitive emissions and leakage from oil and gas valves - Teaches ways to select proper seals and perform valve testing to mitigate future emissions - Includes international standards, laws and specifications to help readers stay compliant and environmentally responsible

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. It is a joint work between the Untied States, Canada, and Mexico that allows a high level of comparability between the countries. The NAICS officially replaced the SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) system in 1997. The publisher has included the SBA Size Standards Table as an appendix at the back of this book to assist users of the data.

Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) continue to grow as a part of the sustainable energy mix. While oil and gas companies look to lower emissions, one key refinery component that contributes up to 60% of emissions are valves, mainly due to poor design, sealing, and testing. Cryogenic Valves for Liquefied Natural Gas Plants delivers a much-needed reference that focuses on the design, testing, maintenance, material selection, and standards needed to stay environmentally compliant at natural gas refineries. Covering technical definitions, case studies, and Q&A, the reference includes all ranges of natural gas compounds, including LPG, CNG, NGL, and PNG. Key design considerations are included that are specific for cryogenic services, including a case study on cryogenic butterfly valves. The material selection process can be more complex for cryogenic services, so the author goes into more detail about materials that adhere to cryogenic temperature resistance. Most importantly, testing of valves is covered in depth, including shell test, closure or seat test, and thermal shock tests, along with tactics on how to prevent dangerous cryogenic leaks, which are very harmful to the environment. The book is a vital resource for today's natural gas engineers. - Teaches LNG valve design, including sealing selection, wall thickness calculation of the valve body and bonnet, and proper material selection - Provides tactics on how to prevent cryogenic leaks with compliant valve testing - Applies natural gas calculations that will better support the LNG supply chain - Enables readers to understand cryogenic valve standards, including EN, ISO, and MSS SP
