10. General Notes

  1. Glandless piston valves achieve 100% leak-proof sealing via two graphite rings compressed by the bonnet bolts.
  2. Gland packing leaks are eliminated entirely since there is no packing chamber; rings can be re-compressed in line.
  3. Ideally suited for thermal oil, superheated steam, condensate systems, process gases, and vacuum service.
  4. Graphite rings are highly resilient and provide self-lubricating action, extending operating cycles over 15,000 runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which standards does the Piston Valve comply with?

The Piston Valve is designed, manufactured, and tested in accordance with ASME B16.34 / BS 5352 / Manufacturer Standard. Compliance documentation and Material Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) are provided with every order.

What materials of construction are available for the Piston Valve?

Standard construction is carbon steel, stainless steel (CF8 / CF8M), and special alloy grades. Alternative and upgraded grades -- Duplex, Super Duplex, Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, and NACE MR0175 trims for sour service -- are available on request.

What sizes and pressure ratings does the Piston Valve cover?

It is offered in DN15 (1/2") to DN200 (8") with ASME B16.5 Class 150# / Class 300# / Class 800# / PN16 / PN40. End connections include flanged (RF / RTJ), butt-weld, socket-weld, and screwed ends as per specification.

Can Supreme Valves supply the Piston Valve for export to Saudi Arabia and the Middle East?

Yes. Supreme Valves India is an established exporter of industrial valves to Saudi Arabia (KSA), the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and across the Gulf. We provide sea-worthy export packing, EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification, certificate of origin, and support for SABER / SASO conformity on KSA shipments.

What testing and certification is provided with the Piston Valve?

Every valve undergoes hydrostatic shell and seat testing per API 598 / ISO 5208. Documentation includes EN 10204 3.1 MTC (3.2 on request), NDT reports, and fire-safe (API 607) or NACE MR0175 certification where applicable. Third-party inspection by TÜV, SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Lloyd's Register can be arranged.

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time for the Piston Valve?

Order quantities are flexible -- from single units for stocked items to bulk volumes for project requirements. Lead time depends on size, material, and quantity; please contact our team with your specification for a firm delivery schedule and quotation.
