Iran Gains Self-Sufficiency in Production of High-Pressure Valves for Oil Industry
“Industrial valves were produced in a bid to develop and indigenize the product portfolio with application in the oil, gas, petrochemical, refining, food, steel and power plants industries,” Seyed Reza Hosseini Norouzi, the managing-director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The standard considered for the production of this product includes API300 and its complement API598,” he added, noting that the highest pressure in these two standards is equal to 2,500 pounds.
Hosseini Norouzi described the lowest pressure of the valves as class 150 and the highest pressure as class 2,500, saying, “The target market of our company is mainly oil, gas, petrochemical, mining and steel industries as well as the power plants, the National Iranian Oil Company and its subsidiaries.”
Iranian companies have been actively manufacturing products with application in oil and gas industries to neutralize the US sanctions.
Earlier this year, an Iranian knowledge-based company succeeded in indigenizing the technology for producing industrial valves used in oil, gas, and petrochemical plants.
Soheil Samani, an official with Sard Foolad Godakhteh Company, told ANA that the Holding is known as a knowledge-based company in the country.
The company has provided the ground for employing university graduates in the fields of oil, gas, and petrochemical sector.
