OREANDA-NEWS. Blagoveshchensk Valves Plant (BVP Open Joint Stock Company, based in the Republic of Bashkortostan, part of United Metallurgical Company, OMK CJSC, Moscow) has successfully held acceptance tests for its ball valve, thereby complying with Gazprom's STO internal standard. This has made it possible to list the item in the Register of Equipment with Technical Conditions Complying with Gazprom Standards.

The half-frames of the ball valves will be produced by the Trubodetal factory (Trubodetal Open Joint Stock Company, based in Chelyabinsk, part of OMK). The cooperation between the factories within OMK's Pipeline Fittings and Valves Division will considerably reduce the production and delivery period. The full production cycle will make it possible to control the quality at all production stages.

“The successful trials mean that Blagoveshchensk Valves Plant is entering a new mid-size stop valve market for items with a diameter ranging from 300mm to 700mm. This is another step forward for the company in delivering comprehensive solutions for the oil and gas industry,” said Alexander Kozhevnikov, BVP's Managing Director.
