3 1/8'' 5k FC Type Hydraulic Gate Valve

Wellhead FC Type Hydraulic Gate valve – API 6A 3 1/8'' 5K FC Hydraulic Gate Valve for Oilfield Applications

The 3 1/8'' 5k FC Type Hydraulic Gate Valve is a high-performance, pressure-rated solution engineered for demanding oil and gas environments. Designed to meet the rigorous standards of API 6A, this 3 1/8'' 5K FC Hydraulic Gate Valve offers reliable sealing, durability, and operational safety in subsea and surface wellhead systems. With its robust construction and compliance with international oilfield specifications, it ensures consistent performance under extreme conditions such as high temperature, corrosive fluids, and fluctuating pressures.

Key features include a compact hydraulic actuation system that enables precise control of gate movement, minimizing manual intervention while maximizing efficiency. The valve’s FC (Flanged Connection) design supports easy installation and maintenance in both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Its 5K rating indicates suitability for pressures up to 5,000 psi, making it ideal for medium-pressure production and injection services in oilfield applications. The use of premium-grade materials like carbon steel or alloy steel enhances corrosion resistance and extends service life, even in harsh environments.

This type of Wellhead Valves integrate advanced sealing technology using metal-to-metal or elastomeric seals, depending on the configuration, ensuring zero leakage during operation. The fully automated actuation mechanism allows remote operation via hydraulic lines or control panels, reducing downtime and improving safety for field personnel. Additionally, the modular design supports customization—such as different flange types, stem configurations, or optional actuators—to match specific wellhead setups and regulatory requirements across global markets.

Commonly used in upstream oil and gas operations, including well testing, workover, and completion activities, this 3 1/8'' 5k FC Type Hydraulic Gate Valve is essential for controlling flow in Choke Manifold, Xmas Tree, and production tubing systems. It’s particularly favored in regions where compliance with API 6A and ISO 10423 standards is mandatory, such as North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Whether deployed in shallow-water platforms or land-based Oil drilling rig, this wellhead valve delivers consistent performance, minimal maintenance needs, and long-term cost savings.

Users report exceptional reliability in high-cycle operations, with many citing reduced downtime and improved safety metrics after integrating this valve into their wellhead management systems. Field engineers appreciate the intuitive design, which simplifies troubleshooting and routine inspections without requiring specialized tools. Operators often highlight how the valve’s compatibility with existing hydraulic control units streamlines integration into legacy infrastructure.
