CCI Supplying 24 Severe Service Control Valves for Lanchengyu Pipeline Expansion
24 October 2001
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – CCI received a million order from China Petroleum Technology and Development Corp. for 24 flow control and pressure reducing valves to be installed at the Lanchengyu Pipeline in China.
These 24 valves range in size from 4- to 12-inches (100-mm to 300-mm) with flow ranges up to 4623 GPM (1050 m3/h), design pressures up to 2175 psi (15 Mpa) at temperatures from -68 to 122 F (-20 C to 50 C).
These valves, which incorporate CCI’s advanced DRAG® technology design, will eliminate the problems of cavitation, noise, erosion and vibration by controlling fluid kinetic energy. This is done through the advanced design of the DRAG® disk stack that controls fluid velocities by forcing the fluid through a series of right angle turns. These turns are scientifically calculated to achieve low fluid velocities consistent with the pipeline’s application needs.
CCI is the world’s leading manufacturer of severe-service control valves and hydraulic and pneumatic actuators for coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power plants; the oil and gas producing and hydrocarbon industries; and pulp and paper plants worldwide. With headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and offices worldwide, CCI also operates major design and manufacturing facilities in Winterthur, Switzerland; Osaka, Japan; and Kyunggi-Do, South Korea, Saffle, Sweden; and Vienna, Austria.
