As a leading Industrial Valve Supplier Dubai with over 20 years of expertise, Al Hatimi understands that high-pressure environments—especially in the Offshore Oil & Gas Valve sector—demand zero-compromise components. The selection process for critical flow control equipment is often complex, requiring more than just price comparison.

This checklist is designed to help procurement managers and engineers make informed decisions to ensure safety and system integrity.

1. Material of Construction (MOC): The First Line of Defense

For extreme pressure and temperature cycles, standard valves will fail. Your primary focus must be the MOC. For subsea and wellhead control applications, material choices are often restricted to specialized alloys. Look for suppliers who offer a verified range of Forged Steel Valves and can certify materials like Duplex, Super Duplex, or Nickel-Alloys compatible with sour service (NACE MR0175).

2. Compliance and Certification: Non-Negotiable Standards

Always confirm compliance with the industry’s most rigorous specifications. When sourcing in the Middle East, essential certifications include:

• API 6A/6D:Essential for most gate, globe, and check valves used in petroleum and natural gas industries.
• ASME B16.34:Governing pressure-temperature ratings.
• Fire-Safe Testing:Compliance with API 607 or 6FA is mandatory for safety.

3. Actuation and Operability 

The control mechanism must match the application. Are you choosing a manual hand-wheel or an automated Actuator and Control Valve system? Consider the torque requirements needed to operate valves under full-rated pressure. Partner with a local Industrial Valve Stockist UAE that can integrate the valve and actuator package before delivery.
