Oil & Gas / Valves & Pumps

Critical Metal Components for Upstream, Midstream & Downstream

Sourcing and production support for valve bodies, pump components, manifolds, and subsea hardware in NACE-compliant alloys with full documentation.

Industry Context

What oil & gas buyers deal with

Sour service (H₂S) and high-pressure requirements demand specific alloys and certifications
NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliance is non-negotiable for sour service equipment
Long lead times for specialty alloys like Inconel 625 and super duplex create schedule risk
Quality documentation requirements are extensive — MTRs, PMI, NDE, pressure test records
Supply chain disruptions in specialty casting and forging delay critical programs
Water treatment and power plant flow-control programs carry similar corrosion and traceability demands

Typical Parts

  • Valve bodies (gate, globe, check, ball)
  • Valve internals (trim, seats, discs, stems)
  • Pump casings, impellers, and wear rings
  • Manifold bodies and fittings
  • Subsea connectors and clamps
  • Flanges and piping fittings
  • Actuator housings and components
  • Water treatment and power plant valve/pump components

Common Materials

  • Super duplex stainless (2507, Zeron 100)
  • Duplex stainless (2205)
  • Nickel alloys (Inconel 625, Hastelloy C-276)
  • Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V for subsea)
  • Carbon steel (A216 WCB, A105)
  • Stainless (316L, CF8M)

Quality Expectations

  • Material Test Reports (MTRs) with heat traceability
  • PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing
  • NDT per API and ASTM standards (RT, UT, MT, PT)
  • Pressure testing and shell/seat test certification
  • NACE MR0175 compliance documentation
  • First article inspection and dimensional reports
  • Traceability from raw material to shipment

How Oakmet Helps

Oakmet's role in oil & gas sourcing
