FAQ
Questions about Neles
Common questions about Neles equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.
01How do I identify a Neles valve from its identification plate?
The plate shows the type code, which strings together series, pressure class, construction, size, body, trim and seat materials, plus the serial or manufacturing number and often the pressure rating and maximum temperature. Actuator and positioner have their own plates. Send photos of all three, since spare parts for seats, seals and bearings are selected from the type code.
02My valve is marked Metso instead of Neles. Is it the same product?
Yes, in most cases. Neles valves have been sold with different company names on the plate over the years, and the series designations and type codes were kept. A Metso-marked RE or T5 valve is identified in the same way as one marked Neles or Valmet. Send the type code and serial number and we will check them in the manufacturer's documentation.
03What is a segment valve such as the Neles RE used for?
A segment valve has a V-shaped rotating segment that gives a wide control range with a straight flow path, so it handles clean liquids, gases, steam and fibrous or slurry-type media that would block a cage-guided globe valve. Sizing is done with the manufacturer's Nelprof software. Send flow, pressures, temperature and fluid data for the minimum, normal and maximum cases.
04Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Neles?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier, not an authorized distributor or agent of Neles or Valmet. We source Neles valves, actuators, positioners and spare parts through commercial channels, verify the type code against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order, on request.
05Which certificates does the manufacturer issue for Neles valves?
Material certificates for pressure-retaining parts and pressure test reports are the usual documents, and they are specified with the order. According to the manufacturer, the T5 is fire-safe certified to API 607 and meets ISO 15848 for low emissions, and the Series 6D is certified to API 6D. List the certificates your project requires in the inquiry so they are requested from the start.
