2.6.1 Coating
The painting and coating of valve body is recommended as per SP-1246. Type of coating
system shall be selected based on the design temperature of the valve. The Alloy 625 /825
/ Alloy28 body does not require any coating/painting but coating requirement of SS/DSS
material shall be based on project specific material selection report.
Vendor can also use their manufacturer standard coating/painting system with the prior
approval from PDO.
The stud and nuts on the body/ bonnet/end closure joints (B7 / B7M/ L7 / L7M & 2H / 2HM)
shall be with PTFE top coated for the design temperature less than 150 °C.
2.6.2 Marking
Marking shall be in accordance with API 6D, section 13. In addition, each valve shall be
clearly marked with the purchase order number with item no. on both the nameplate and at
a suitable low stress location (e.g. flange rim) by round nose low stress die stamping.
An alternative method to die stamping may be used after approval from the Company if
painting is considered to render die stamped markings illegible.
The type of seat DP (double piston) and SP (single piston) shall be marked permanently
on the respective side of the valve and the flow direction shall be clearly and permanently
indicated on the valve body.
2.6.3 Shipping
Shipping preparation shall be in accordance with API Specification 6D.
It should be noted that transport to the work-site in Oman takes place on graded desert
roads. Valves shall be shipped with the ball in the fully open position.
