Iranian Knowledge-Based Firms to Manufacture Transmitters for Oil Industry
The project was launched after signing a contract for production of 575 transmitters with the Iranian knowledge-based companies.
The National Iranian South Oil Company and Iranian Central Oil Fields Company (ICOFC) are the main applicants for these transmitters, and the design and construction time for the project has been considered as 24 months.
Based on the contract, the manufacturer is required to obtain the required certificates and other safety and quality requirements.
Transmitter is a strategic equipment in the oil industry for measuring pressure, temperature and level, and the continuity of operation and production in different parts of the oil industry depends on the ability of the measuring equipment.
In a relevant development last year, researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company had succeeded in producing 32 gate valves needed in oil industry.
“We are a manufacturer of all kinds of valves needed by the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The latest achievement of our company has been production of as many as 32 units of 20-inch gate valves of class 2,500 which have been used in development plan of Isfahan Oil Refinery. The achievement is considered as one of the largest valve-production projects of the oil companies in Iran,” Massoud Jalali, a representative of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
Noting that valves are produced by using the open mold forging method due to the type of their structure, he said, “Open mold forging is a hot forming process in which metal is formed by hammering and pressing between flat or simple molds.”
“Gate valves are installed at the outlet of the distillery tower and are used to cut off and connect the flow. Also, the operation of these devices takes place at a temperature of 400 degrees (Fahrenheit) and 250 (Bar) of pressure; therefore, we should use heat-resistant materials in its construction,” Jalali said.
He explained that stainless steel materials should be used in metallurgy, saying, “This material is one of the most basic elements of gate valves and makes the valves resistant to heat.”
