[MW:10374] RE: 10362] Which is better material for Seat / Control Valves / Sour Service

 
Hello VPV,
 
Stellite 6 alloy is a common material for valve seats  both for sour and non sour services. S.S 316 is not the exact replacement for Stellite. 316 S.S basically lacks the strength and hardness which is required in a valve seat to avoid galling and erosion. Any one of those can cause "passing of valves".
 
Please look in MR-0175 -part -3 on the acceptance of Co alloys for sour services.
 
Should you be interested I may forward you some more information  which I have.
 
Thanks.

Subject: [MW:10362] Which is better material for Seat / Control Valves / Sour Service

Dear Experts,
 
The Data sheet for Control Valve calls for Seat Material of Trim as Stellite 6 + ENP and Supplier is offering SS 316.
Whis is better - Is it Stellite 6 + ENP or SS 316?
 
Info: Service to be used is Sour Service.
Temperature : 60 Degree Centrigrade
Inlet Presure: Max. 0.5 bar g
Otlet Presure: Max. 0.3 bar g
 
Appreciate to see response ASAP.
 
Regards
VPV
