8,500kg Steam Control Valve

Double butterfly valves for the Main Steam Pipes on the 1356MW ABWR (Advanced Boiling Water Reactor) Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station located in Niigata prefecture, Japan.

The material is a micro-alloyed steel with 0.5% Cu. The 8,500kg valves were supplied in the fully machined condition.

 

300MW MSV manifold with two stop valve castings

CrMoV steels are used for creep resistant in many power generation applications. The material is often processed through the AOD refining vessel to give improved properties. 

This unit weighs 17,600kg and is supplied in the finish machined condition. The manifold has four forgings fabricated on and the stop valves each have one forging fabricated on; the stop valves are then welded to the manifold.

A fabricated CRV is supplied with each main stop valve the combined weight is 25,000kg.
 

Cast swept bends

Low alloy NiCrMo steels are supplied in the hardened and tempered condition to give them a higher hardness and tensile strength.

These 775kg cast swept bends were produced to API 6,000 pressure rating. Manufactured in ASTM A487 material with processing and inspection API 8C PSL 3
