KOC-Spec Safety Relief Valve (Kuwait Oil Company KOC Spec)
Supreme Valves' KOC-Spec Process Safety Relief Valve is specifically engineered for critical oil and gas overpressure protection in compliance with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) specifications. Built as a high-authority replacement or new installation for gathering centers (such as GC 03, 04, 06, and 21), this flanged angle-type safety relief valve features a robust SS316 nozzle and disc, SS316 spring, and premium flanged RF connections, providing bubble-tight shutoff and reliable pop-action performance.
Key Applications
Industrial Applications & Engineering Problem Solving
The Engineering Challenge
Gas Gathering Centers (such as KOC's GC 03, 04, 06, and 21) handle high-pressure process gas that carries heavy moisture and sulfur, leading to severe nozzle erosion, spring stress-corrosion cracking, and seat leakage. Standard safety valves quickly fail under these conditions. Long lead times for proprietary gathering-center spares can delay maintenance shutdowns and increase operating cost.
The Supreme Valves India Engineering Solution
Supreme Valves' KOC-spec safety relief valves use a solid SS316 nozzle and disc, SS316 or Inconel spring, and heavy-duty ASTM A216 WCB body for corrosion resistance in harsh service. Listed spare part numbers (ball P-104779, disc holder P-105208, adjusting screw P-105212) support maintenance planning with shorter delivery periods.
Operational Use Cases & Scenarios
Compressor Discharge Station Overpressure Protection
Operational Challenge: Providing rapid-response relief protection on the high-pressure discharge piping of process gas compressors in Kuwait's harsh desert environment.
Engineering Benefit: Solid SS316 internals resist high-velocity gas erosion, while the flanged Class 300 x Class 150 RF dimensions allow drop-in piping replacement.
Low-Volume Process Separator Safety Valve
Operational Challenge: Protecting low-volume process separators and flash drums against sudden upstream regulator failures and thermal expansion spikes.
Engineering Benefit: Bubble-tight sealing to API 527 prevents costly process gas leakage and fugitive emissions during standby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q Are these valves interchangeable with 26313-CN-000 series valves?
Yes. Our KOC-spec safety relief valves are designed to match the identical dimensions, flange center-to-face dimensions, and pressure-temperature ratings. All critical spare parts—including the ball (P-104779), disc holder (P-105208), and adjusting screw (P-105212)—are fully compatible and interchangeable.
Q What testing certifications do you provide with safety relief valves?
We provide full material test reports (MTRs) to EN 10204 3.1, hydrostatic shell test certificates, seat tightness test certificates per API 527, and calibrated set-pressure pop test certificates witnessed by third-party inspectors.
Q Can this valve handle sour gas service?
Yes. When specified, we can supply this safety relief valve with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant materials (like SS316 trim with Duplex or Inconel springs) to handle sour H2S environments.
