Cracking valves for process isolation
Start with the complete production and decoking sequence.

Concept illustration; not a certified technical drawing or a confirmed supplied configuration.
Start with the duty.
Start with the complete production and decoking sequence.
- Valve location and production/decoking media
- Temperature transitions and particle exposure
- Purge interfaces, interlocks and stroke times
Build a complete enquiry.
Process conditions
Provide the medium, temperature and pressure envelope, solids content and operating sequence.
Mechanical interfaces
State nominal size, connection standard, installation orientation and available space.
Acceptance & actuation
Define shut-off criteria, actuator requirements, fail position and project documentation.
Pressure class, size range, materials, performance and certifications are confirmed only for the agreed configuration. No general application guide establishes product suitability.
Understand the application.
Use the application centre to prepare service-specific questions for your enquiry.
Cracking valves: procurement questions
What information is needed for cracking and decoking duties?
Include the valve location, production and cleaning sequences, media composition, particles, temperature transitions and pressure conditions for each stage.
Should purge and interlock requirements be included?
Yes. Identify the required purge connections, utility conditions, stroke times and process interlocks in the enquiry so they can be reviewed with the valve arrangement.
Does an application guide confirm a valve rating?
No. Application background supports the technical discussion; ratings, materials and verification requirements belong in the agreed product specification.
Prepare a service-specific RFQ.
Use the valve selection guide to define the process, mechanical interfaces and acceptance criteria.
Industrial valve selection & RFQ guide →For process background, review the Ethylene cracking & decoking valve application guide →. Suitability must be confirmed for the proposed valve configuration.
