Valve Selection Guide

Practical valve selection support for process piping applications

Step 1 of 5Line Data

Project & Line Data

Identify the project, line, and valve tag. These travel into the recommendation report and datasheet header.

Try with realistic sample data

Loads one of 12 oil & gas valve cases into all inputs.

Free-text identifier shown on the datasheet cover.

End client / operator on the title block.

Process area or unit reference.

P&ID

Per piping line list / P&ID.

P&ID

Unique tag per P&ID — appears as DS-{tag} on export.

Piping line class spec.

Nominal pipe size of the line.

ASME pressure class.

Drives material & coating recommendations.

What the valve must do in service.

Why we ask
Project and tag traceability is required on every engineering deliverable. The tag number drives the datasheet number on export.

API 615

Recommended practice for valve selection in process plants.

ASME B31.3

Process piping — design pressure, temperature & material basis.

Engineering Decision Support Tool - Screening / Internal Review Use unless independently validated.

Outputs are generated for engineering screening and decision support only. Final responsibility for standards compliance, engineering judgment, specification verification, and approved project use remains with the user organization and qualified reviewing engineer.
