Pressure Testing: Mudline Gate Valves
All of FET’s mud gate valves go through hydrostatic testing at the following pressure ratings:
| Working Pressure (Bi-directional seat test) | Shell Test Pressure |
|---|---|
| 2,000 psi | 3,000 psi |
| 3,000 psi | 4,500 psi |
| 5,000 psi | 7,500 psi |
| 7,500 psi | 11,250 psi |

Mudline Gate Valves: Other Defining Features
One of the defining features of FET Mud Bi-Directional Gate Valves is that end-users can utilize them for erosive and abrasive applications. These valves use a molded, one-piece vulcanized elastomeric over metal boot style seat design, and have a long history of being a dependable workhorse used in many service applications. Repeatable high or low-pressure validation testing using liquids or gases makes these valves very durable and dependable. FET valves are easily serviced and rebuilt using replacement components, furnished along with documented certification packages.
