Pipeline and midstream work replaces valves during integrity digs, station upgrades and line replacements. The items are usually large, API 6D or 6A specification, and supported by test and material records.
Because there are relatively few valves on a pipeline compared with a refinery, each one matters. A single twenty-inch trunnion ball valve is a transaction in its own right.

Selling into this sector
What to expect
Equipment from this sector usually arrives with a mix of documentation: some items tagged and recorded, some with nothing at all. Send what exists. A partial record is worth more than a claim that records exist.
Mixed lots are normal. We do not ask you to separate the documented items from the rest before sending a list.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy API 6D valves?
Yes, with documentation being the main value driver.
Can you handle pig trap and launcher valves?
Yes, including closure valves and multi-port selection valves.
What about valves from integrity digs?
Those are a regular category. Send the list with sizes and classes.
