    Valves and fittings are tested according to various industry standards like API, ANSI, and ASTM. Key tests for valves include shell tests, seat tests, and backseat tests. Seat tests check for leakage between the seat and closure device while sealants are prohibited. Backseat tests check for packing leakage with the closure device fully open. Valve trim refers to the internal elements like the disk, seat, and stem that control flow. Fittings are tested for dimensional checks, hydrotests, and nondestructive exams like radiography. Material requirements and inspections aim to prevent issues like corrosion in sour service.

    Valves and Fittings Questions

    1. List the required leak tests for gate valves per API-598 requirements?

    3. What is normally meant by the term "valve trim"?The internal elements of a valve
    are collectively referred to as a valve's trim. The trim typically includes a disk, seat, stem,
    and sleeves needed to guide the stem. A valve's performance is determined by the
    disk and seat interface and the relation of the disk position to the seat. Because of the trim,
    basic motions and flow control are possible. In rotational motion trim designs, the
    disk slides closely past the seat to produce a change in flow opening. In linear
    motion trim designs, the disk lifts perpendicularly away from the seat so that an annular
    orifice appear
