Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about valve design, performance, and automation for this application.

What is a HIPPS valve and how does it work?

A HIPPS valve is a shutdown valve used as part of a High Integrity Pressure Protection System. When the system detects a pressure condition that exceeds the configured limits, the safety system initiates the required shutdown action to help prevent downstream overpressure.

Which valves are used in a High Integrity Pressure Protection System?

HIPPS commonly uses suitably specified shutdown valves, often ball valves, selected according to process conditions and project requirements. The valve must meet the required pressure, leakage, operating-time and safety-system specifications.

What is the difference between a HIPPS valve and a normal industrial valve?

A HIPPS shutdown valve is selected as part of a defined safety instrumented function, with specific performance, reliability and testing requirements. A standard industrial valve should not be assumed suitable for HIPPS duty unless the complete arrangement meets the applicable project and functional-safety requirements.

Where are HIPPS valves used in the oil and gas industry?

HIPPS may be used in upstream production facilities, gas processing plants, pipelines and other process installations where a dedicated overpressure protection system is required. The need for HIPPS depends on the process hazard assessment and the facility's protection design.

How do I select the right valve for a HIPPS application?

Consider the design pressure, process fluid, temperature, valve size, pressure class, required leakage performance, shut-off time, actuator requirements and applicable project specifications. The valve must also be evaluated as part of the complete safety instrumented function.

Which actuators are suitable for HIPPS shutdown valves?

Actuator selection depends on the valve's required operating torque, closure time, available utilities, environmental conditions and specified safe state. Pneumatic, hydraulic or other approved actuation arrangements may be considered according to the system design.

What is the role of a shutdown valve in a HIPPS?

The shutdown valve provides the final isolation action when the HIPPS logic determines that a protective response is required. Its performance must be suitable for the specified safety function, including required closure time, isolation performance and testing arrangements.

What is SIL in a HIPPS application?

SIL stands for Safety Integrity Level. It represents a defined level of risk reduction associated with a safety instrumented function. The required SIL is determined through a risk assessment; it should not be assigned to a valve alone without evaluating the relevant system architecture, components and supporting evidence.

What technical information is required for a HIPPS valve quotation?

Provide the process fluid, design and operating pressure, temperature, valve size, pressure class, required shut-off time, leakage requirements, actuator type, safe-state requirements and applicable standards. Project specifications, safety requirements and instrument interface details are also useful for technical evaluation.

How are HIPPS shutdown valves tested and maintained?

Testing and maintenance should follow the approved safety requirements, manufacturer instructions and site procedures. Activities may include functional testing, partial-stroke testing where applicable, full-stroke testing, inspection and verification of the required response. The test strategy must account for the system design and operational risks.
