Subsea Valves Handbook (Paperback)

Subsea Valves Handbook helps engineers and managers understand the types of valves that are specific to various subsea applications, including their critical functions and a focus on cavitation and flushing effects that is essential for today's deepwater and high temperature wells. Operating offshore valves has its own set of challenges, including harsher environments, more remote locations, and higher maintenance costs. This book delivers knowledge on lifetime estimations and design extension considerations, validation/verification testing during installation, integration obstacles, and safety and reliability monitoring points. Industry standards and the data behind their specifications are listed for easy reference, as well as basic definitions and abbreviations. Users will find a reference that successfully bridges the knowledge gap for any engineer and manager working specifically in subsea oil and gas.
