Actuators and Actuated Valve Packages

met for the complete package – ranging from an

actuated valve to a complete, engineered HIPPS
package to a specific Safety Integrity Level (SIL).

From the outset, Frames assesses your safety

requirements (process control, emergency or
protection), function (fail open, fail close or stay
put) as well as the valve designation and combines
these with your installation requirements into an
engineered package. Control panels or cabinets
can be included to meet the various requirements
for the actuated valve. SIL requirements, closed
loop, fire-fuse and backup bottles could be part
of those requirements. In addition, we can include
requirements for partial stroking facilities for
identifying the status of an actuated valve and

Actuators and Actuated Valve Packages

Frames provides full support for its clients, ranging from local valve
suppliers to globally operating oil companies. Our extensive workshop
is fully equipped with all necessary facilities to test and handle
packages in accordance with international standards, including full
certification and NDT testing. This applies to both newly manufactured
units, as well as overhauled or enhanced equipment.

Process Description

Actuators and actuated valve packages for upstream and midstream

Pneumatic Actuated Valve Package
applications in oil and gas operations are available in a wide variety of
materials, sizes, ratings and types. Primary valve materials range from
carbon steel to super alloys, which are applied from simple media such
as potable water to dangerous chemicals such as acids.

Frames offers valve sizes from ½” up to 48” to DIN, ANSI or API

standards with pressure classes up to 15.000 psi and process
conditions ranging from cryogenic service from below -150°C up
to 500°C.

Actuator materials used in our valve packages range from aluminum
