By: Saint-Gobain Seals Saint-Gobain Seals has been designing and manufacturing polymer lip seals as part of their OmniSeal® spring-energized seal and rotary lip seal product line for over 30 years. They are quite knowledgeable with oil and gas regulations and recently received API 6A specification (ISO 10423, Appendix F.1.13.5.2) relating to sour fluid (FF/HH) resistance for nine of their most used materials. Using these decades of knowledge and experience, their engineering team created the technical manual with a focus on trunnion-mounted ball valves and covering the following conditions: • Pressure: class #150 up to #2500 • Temperature: • Size: up to 20" The main criteria adopted for selecting the correct combination of design and materials are: 1) Seal position in the valve (seat, stem or static parts); 2) Media, pressure rating and temperature range; and 3) Special requirements such as material qualification and fugitive emission. This technical document was widely distributed among the oil and gas customer's main operations and is currently a viable solution to their ongoing challenges relating to logistics, safety and costs, contributing in their global effort to improve operational excellence.
