Select Consolidated safety relief valves from the project specification and required configuration. Identify replacement components from installed markings and parts drawings.
Valve families and components
Distinguish spring-loaded, steam and pilot-operated constructions. For a new installation, attach the project data sheet; for replacement, identify the installed valve and required scope.
1900 spring-loaded safety relief valves
The 1900 family covers safety relief valves for gas, liquid and steam service. Identify the conventional or balanced-bellows construction and retain the complete model designation. For a replacement internal component, provide the valve serial number and the relevant item in the parts drawing.
Identify a 1900 DM requirement explicitly.
19000 safety relief valves
Specify the complete 19000 designation, including suffixes, connections and installed markings. State whether the requirement is for a complete valve, an internal component or seals listed in the maintenance document.
Attach the equipment data sheet and an identifiable drawing item for each replacement component. Keep quantities separate for different configurations.
1700 Maxiflow steam safety valves
Consolidated lists 1700 Maxiflow within its steam safety valve portfolio for power applications. For a new valve, submit the project data sheet and protected-equipment identification. For spares, retain the complete installed valve number and the part reference.
Distinguish planned maintenance components from a complete replacement assembly.
2700, 1811 and 1511 steam valves
Identify each steam-valve family separately in the enquiry. Provide the equipment tag, valve nameplate and applicable drawing. Keep the full configuration associated with its serial number when several similar valves are installed.
State the required quantity for each complete valve or component rather than using one total for the entire installation.
2900 pilot-operated valves
A pilot-operated enquiry should identify both the main valve and the pilot. The portfolio includes 2900 and 2900 TM, while 2900-40 is presented for economizer applications. Retain these distinctions in the project specification.
Attach the connection diagram and identify which assemblies and accessories must be included in the requested scope.
3900 and 3900 TM pilot-operated valves
Specify the installed 3900 configuration and pilot designation. The manufacturer describes 3900 TM for multiple media, including liquid, air or gas, and steam. This designation must come from the relevant documentation.
For replacement parts, identify the main-valve or pilot drawing separately and preserve the full part references.
Pilots and pilot-system components
State whether the requirement covers a complete pilot or an item from its parts list. Supply the pilot marking, main-valve identification and connection drawing. For connecting lines and fittings, provide the relevant drawing and end connections.
Define the requested assembly boundary so each quotation covers the same components.
Replacement internals and maintenance lists
Request seats, discs, springs, bellows and seals against the parts drawing for the exact installed valve. Record the item number, documented material and quantity. If requesting a kit, provide its full manufacturer reference and the document defining its contents.
A generic repair-kit description should be expanded into an identifiable scope.
Selection inputs
Identify the protected equipment, medium, documented operating conditions, connections, installation and required documents. State whether the existing piping must be retained or a new arrangement is planned.
Parts for an installed valve
Provide the full type and serial number, drawing item, documented material and quantity. For pilot-operated equipment, identify the main valve and pilot separately.
Consolidated and the equipment requirement
Consolidated is the Baker Hughes business focused on overpressure protection. Its portfolio includes spring-loaded safety relief valves, steam safety valves and pilot-operated systems.
Begin selection with the protected equipment and project requirement, then identify the appropriate family and complete configuration. A family name is an entry point for an enquiry, rather than a complete procurement specification.
Keep overpressure protection separate from process regulation when preparing the equipment list. Consolidated, Masoneilan, Becker and Mooney have distinct product portfolios. Retain the manufacturer shown on each nameplate and group mixed Baker Hughes enquiries by business.
This helps keep drawings, required functions and replacement components associated with the correct equipment.
Inputs for a new valve
Submit the project data sheet, protected-equipment identification, service medium and documented operating conditions. Include the required connections, installation drawing and project requirements for the valve.
If the enquiry concerns an existing position, add the installed nameplate and state whether the request is a repeat purchase or a revised specification.
Identify the documents that define the required protective function and selection criteria. Attach the applicable engineering requirement rather than selecting a valve only from connection size or external appearance.
Where the project is still being developed, distinguish confirmed inputs from fields that remain to be completed by the responsible engineering team.
Provide an installation drawing showing the inlet, outlet and surrounding equipment. State whether the existing piping must be retained and identify any space restrictions.
These details help define the physical scope of the enquiry while the project documentation remains the basis for technical selection.
Identifying an installed valve
Take one overall photograph and separate readable photographs of every nameplate. Preserve the type, serial number and all suffixes. Attach the relevant equipment data sheet or manual page.
If a marking is partly unreadable, transcribe the visible characters and indicate the missing portion rather than substituting a similar catalogue designation.
For pilot-operated equipment, identify both the main valve and the pilot. Include the connection diagram and any documented configuration references. If the site uses an internal asset number, retain it alongside the manufacturer identification.
Use the same asset number in the equipment list and photograph names.
Defining replacement-part scope
For each part, provide the valve identification, drawing item number, description and quantity. A photograph of a removed component can support the enquiry, but the drawing reference should remain the primary link to the installed configuration.
Preserve documented materials and coatings where they form part of the component specification.
When requesting a maintenance kit, provide the complete kit reference and its contents list. If no kit reference is available, list the required items individually. Distinguish mandatory replacement components from additional stores stock so the scope can be compared consistently across quotations.
Planning a steam-valve purchase
Group steam valves by protected unit and equipment tag. For a planned outage, attach the relevant maintenance list and identify which requests cover spares and which cover complete valves.
Keep each installed configuration associated with its own serial number, even when several valves have the same family designation.
Include the project requirements for settings, inspection and acceptance as a separate attachment. The responsible operating organization determines the applicable procedures for testing and return to service.
Procurement information should preserve those requirements and clearly identify the supplied equipment and documents.
Pilot systems and connecting components
Define whether the enquiry includes the complete pilot-operated assembly, the main valve, the pilot or individual parts. Record the main-valve and pilot markings in separate fields.
Retain TM and other configuration suffixes, and use the documentation for the exact family rather than transferring details from a different series.
For connecting tubes and fittings, attach the connection drawing, end details and any applicable dimensions. State which accessories are already installed and which must be included.
An annotated diagram is useful for identifying the assembly boundary and avoiding different interpretations of what constitutes a complete system.
Materials and service information
Copy the service medium and relevant operating information from the equipment documentation or project specification. For seals, retain the material designation and association with the exact assembly.
Dimensions or a photograph can supplement this information, but should be accompanied by a part reference whenever one is available.
If the operating conditions have changed, attach the revised requirement separately from the original valve data sheet. This distinguishes a repeat replacement from a request to reconsider the configuration.
Keep material codes in their documented form rather than replacing them with broad descriptions such as stainless steel or rubber.
Documents, comparison and receiving
Prepare one controlled list for quotation comparison. Include equipment tags, full model references, drawing items, quantities and required documents. Use clear attachment names and identify the applicable revision.
When the scope changes, issue an updated list and mark the revised positions so all discussions refer to the same requirement.
Specify the accompanying documents needed by the receiving and operating teams. On receipt, compare markings, quantities and contents with the agreed list. Store the documents against the equipment tag and retain the final references for subsequent purchases.
For a mixed order, keep the individual valve configurations distinguishable throughout this process.
Preparing a mixed enquiry
For equipment covering several units, keep one line per complete configuration and identify the corresponding drawing revision. Group attachments by equipment tag and provide a clear contact for technical clarification.
Confirmation of scope
Availability, price, lead time, distributor status, certificates and compatibility are not stated in advance. Configuration, scope and documents are confirmed for the specific enquiry. Settings and return to service follow the operating organization’s applicable procedures.
Send the technical requirement
Attach the data sheet, valve documents or parts list. Include a reply contact and delivery destination. Keep different configurations in separate rows with identifiable attachments.
