RAYS has supplied CNOOC with customised high-performance |
pneumatic plug valves for the Daishan Petrochemical Distillate Oil Phase V Project tank area renovation . The valves feature a pressure-balanced inverted cone design for efficient shut-off and simple 90-degree operation . A grease injection mechanism applies a dense oil film across the sealing surface , |
ensuring bidirectional sealing and minimising friction . This design adheres to the ISO 15848-1 Class B low leakage standard for enhanced safety and environmental protection . The plug surface undergoes nitriding and nickel-phosphorus alloy plating , significantly enhancing hardness and wear resistance in high-pressure , |
high-frequency environments . The valve stem , made from 17-4PH martensitic precipitation-hardened stainless steel , is robust and suitable for high-load conditions . Its blowout-proof design and triple-seal structure further enhance the valve ’ s durability and sealing performance . |
