Home >> Application >> Oil Industry
The oil industry involves demanding applications across crude oil production, transportation, refining, storage and petroleum product handling. Valves are essential for reliable isolation, flow control and safe operation when handling high-pressure, high-temperature and viscous hydrocarbon media.
High Pressure & Temperature
Oil production and refining processes can involve elevated pressure and temperature, requiring robust valve construction and reliable sealing performance.
Viscous & Heavy Media
Heavy oil, crude oil and other viscous fluids can affect flow performance and may increase the risk of valve sticking or operational difficulties.
Hydrocarbon Leakage
Oil and petroleum products are flammable and potentially hazardous, making reliable shut-off and sealing critical for safe operation.
Continuous & Demanding Service
Oil processing and transportation systems often operate continuously, requiring valves to withstand repeated operation and demanding process conditions.
Material selection depends on the properties of the oil or petroleum product, pressure, temperature, corrosion conditions and applicable project standards.
