CORTEC MRO Double Ball Valve Retrofit
Most MRO projects—maintenance, refurbishment, and upgrades—don’t happen in open spaces. Instead, they’re executed within older, existing facilities across operations, where adapting to the current footprint is essential. In these situations, the challenge is to maintain integrity and performance without modifying the surrounding system. That’s where CORTEC engineering makes a difference. We design equipment that fits right into existing spaces, with no need to modify the existing piping. This approach reduces risk, labor, and downtime.
Plug and Play API 6D Trunnion Double Ball Valve in Standard Lay Length
Recently, a customer requested an upgrade from aging single-ball valves to double-ball valves to enhance integrity, without altering any field piping. CORTEC provided a solution that checked all the boxes. These CORTEC API 6D Trunnion Double Ball Valves bring together standard lay length, high-alloy cladding, metal-seated trim, fire-tested design, and operator-friendly actuation in a single build.
Design highlights:
-
- 10″ Reduced Port
- Standard lay length body
- CL900: 33.13″
- CL1500: 39.38″
- RTJ studded ends provide high-integrity bolted connections.
- Metal-seated ball and seats feature tungsten carbide coating for increased integrity in erosive service.
- Gear operators include locking devices and handwheels for secure, controlled operation.
- 4130AS body with Inconel cladding in the seal areas and Xylan coating for maximum protection against corrosion.
- For increased reliability, seat seals and springs are located away from the flow bore and protected by our Grit Shield™ feature. This creates a torturous path for debris before it can affect sealing.
- Built to API 6D QSL-3G standards, fire rated to API 6FA and API 607
