Through the heritage of Camco* subsurface safety valves, Schlumberger has long represented innovation and quality to the oil and gas industry. We have a proud legacy of pioneering advanced technology for safety control systems in demanding operating environments. Our wide range of safety and injection valves—based on industry-leading technologies—are built from many years of experience and expertise and play a major role in minimizing safety risks to people and petroleum reserves. Today Schlumberger continues to demon- strate innovation in safety valve technology and valve performance in ultradeepwater, high-pressure, and high-temperature environments.

  • Hydraulic Valve Remote Control System
    HYDRAULIC VALVE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW Nordic Flow Control’s compact design for our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems does not compromise on power. Our systems operate at a higher torque level even with our smaller actuators. Submerged applications are available, and maintenance is possible even during operation. By having a hand pump in a deck box with solenoid valves, manual operations are now possible. Our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems are tried and tested in the harshest conditions. The system consists of the hydraulic actuator, a power unit, solenoid valve cabinet, and the control station with operating system. Our actuators and control systems are able to match and operate valves with no limitations. BENEFITS • Able to operate bigger size valves with smaller actuators • Able to use for submerged applications • Cost efficient • Reliable • Able to operate at hazardous areas • Simplicity of design and control Nordic Flow Control Valve Remote Control Systems 1 COMPONENTS ACTUATORS Nordic Flow Control’s actuators are manufactured using sophisticated machinery in our own production plant. They convert hydraulic energy directly into a mechanical rotating movement by using the rack and pinion principle, elimi- nating cost from intensive servicing, maintenance and the sensitivity of transmission elements. Our actuators are created for durability, performance and cost effectiveness. Our new NRA series actuators are now more compact and provide higher torque at even smaller sizes. They have a longer life span, with higher efficiency. Polymer bearings for smaller actuators and ball bearings for bigger actuators are used to reduce friction between the parts. Mounting is according to ISO5211 standards, but can be customised to meet other requirements.

  • NBIC Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Inspection Guide
    NBIC Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Inspection Guide This guide provides a basis for NBIC Inspectors use in reviewing Pressure Relief Devices (PRD’s) for compliance with the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC). It is only intended to provide general guidance, and must be used in conjunction with NBIC, Part 2 for specific details of inspection. 1. Description and Overview Pressure relief devices are used to provide a means of venting excess pressure which could rupture a boiler or pressure vessel. A pressure relief device is the last line of defense for safety. If all other safety devices or operating controls fail, the pressure relief device must be capable of venting excess pressure. 2. Types of Devices There are many types of pressure relief devices available for use in the boiler and pressure vessel industry. This inspector guide will address the most common devices found on boilers and pressure vessels. Virtually all jurisdictions require a pressure relief device to be manufactured and certified in accordance with the ASME Code in addition to being capacity certified by the National Board. The most common types of pressure relief devices are: Pressure Relief Valve – A pressure relief device designed for emergency or abnormal over pressure conditions and designed to reclose after the pressure has been reduced. Safety Valve – This device is typically used for steam or vapor service. It operates automatically with a full-opening pop action and recloses when the pressure drops to a value consistent with the blowdown requirements prescribed by the applicable governing code or standard. Relief Valve – This device is typically used for liquid service.

  • BASIS SAFETY CONTROLS for HOT WATER and LOW-PRESSURE STEAM BOILERS By: Tom Vana, Factory Representative, Mcdonnell & Miller, Inc
    Service Application Manual SAM Chapter 630-36 Section 20 BASIS SAFETY CONTROLS FOR HOT WATER AND LOW-PRESSURE STEAM BOILERS By: Tom Vana, Factory Representative, McDonnell & Miller, Inc. HOT WATER SPACE HEATING BOILERS SAFTETY RELIEF VALVES Good engineering tells us that every hot water boiler must have a safety relief valve that will keep the pressure at or below the maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler. But until recently the methods of accomplishing this objective were not clearly understood. Figure 70F51A shows one method of attempting to provide protection against over-pressure which is unsafe for these reasons: 1. The relief valve does not comply with the ASME Boiler code requirements. 2. Its capacity is unknown. 3. It is installed in the wrong location. 4. It can inadvertently be isolated from the boiler due to lime or scale build-up in boiler feed line. 5. The function of a relief valve has nothing in common with a pressure reducing type fill valve. A combination of the two units is based on price consideration—not performance. The first basic step in providing correct safety control for a hot water boiler is to make sure that an ASME relief valve is installed. The ASME Code states: “Every hot water heating boiler shall have at least one officially rated pressure relief valve set to relieve at or below the maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler… Relief valve shall be connected to the Copyright © 1966, 2009, By Refrigeration Service Engineers Society. -1- top of boilers with the spindle vertical if possible…. No shutoff of any description shall be placed between the relief valve and the boiler, nor on the discharge pipe between such valve and the atmosphere.” Figure 70F51B shows the correct and safe installation of the relief valve.

He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history.
