Instruction in devices, solutions and services for industrial applications enabling production, improved ROI, and environmental health & safety key measures.

The seminar covers the use of 13Cr (Chrome), 316 Stainless Steel, and Hard-facing (HF) overlays to ensure the valve maintains a minimum tight seal. 

The seminar will also cover the Inspection and Testing per API-598 ensures structural integrity and sealing performance through: Shell Test, Backseat Test and the Closure “Seat Test” (high-pressure and sometimes low-pressure gas) testing to confirm the wedge provides a reliable shut-off without exceeding maximum allowable leakage rates. 

A brief Introduction for API-600 Scope, Comparative Context and Trim definition is also included: Covers wedge gate valves designed for heavy-duty service. The scope includes valves with flanged or butt-welding ends in sizes ranging from NPS 1 to NPS 42. It provides specific wall thickness and stuffing box dimensions for pressure ratings across Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. 

The session focuses on five high-risk areas: Multi‑Employer Worksite Liability, Subcontractor Safety Responsibility, “Willful” Violations from Prior Knowledge, Criminal Liability After Fatalities, and Personal Liability for Supervisors.
