Valves are chosen for industrial equipment to isolate, regulate, divert or block reverse flow in process and piping systems. The valve name and nominal size is not the only factor that needs to be considered when making a correct selection. There are a number of factors that must be taken into account prior to ordering: Service medium, operating pressure, temperature, materials, connection type, pressure class, trim, seat construction, testing and actuation requirements.
Best International Contracting Company is a reliable industrial valves supplier Saudi Arabia projects could turn to when they need to obtain a product based on specific requirements and coordinate the delivery. We provide appropriate valve product for plant modification, construction, maintenance, infrastructure, industrial project, utility and technical and commercial scope approved.
Prior to sourcing we review the enquiry, drawings, valve schedule, datasheets and bill of quantities along with documentation. This minimizes the potential for developing product offerings that seem the same but vary in Body Material, Bore, End Connection, Seat, Trim, Pressure Rating or Operating Arrangement.
The choice of the valve should be made based on the operating conditions. An approximation of carbon steel valve or six inch valve isn’t specific enough to make an accurate sourcing. All of the following parameters should be defined by the customer: the valve type, applicable standard, size, class, body material, trim material, end connection, service, temperature, operating method and requirements for documentation.
Saudi Arabia contractors can reach out to BIC for their project needs and BIC can arrange technical information prior to the quotation. If information is lacking, we recognise this instead of making assumptions about a specification.
Final product acceptance is still subject to the Customers Engineering Review, Approved Material Submittal and project requirements. Whenever an alternative is suggested it must be clearly specified and not accepted until approved in writing.
Gate Valves
Gate valves are generally used for full opening or shut off applications. The enquiry should clarify the body shape, wedge or gate layout, stem type, bonnet structure, seat and trim, end connection and pressure class and how it is to be operated.
The purpose of the intended service should also be indicated. Valves intended for clean water service might not be appropriate for hydrocarbon, steam, corrosive or abrasive service unless the materials and design are appropriate.
Globe Valves
Isolation and controlled flow may be required and globe valves can be employed. Flow direction, disc and seat arrangement, pressure drop, body pattern, trim and operating conditions are all possible factors to consider when selecting correctly.
If the performance in terms of throttling or the severity of the service is significant, customers should supply the appropriate valve datasheet or complete specification.
Ball Valves
The body construction, bore arrangement, seat material, end connections and operating systems on ball valves come in various varieties. The enquiry should include the following aspects: reduced bore or full bore, floating or trunnion mounted (if applicable).
Seat and seal selection should be based on fluid properties, temperature, pressure and performance needs for sealing. If appropriate, the fire-safe, antistatic, extended-stem requirement, or other project requirements, should be specified.
Butterfly Valves
Depending on the application, butterfly valves can be used in water, utility, HVAC and in specific industrial applications. The customer should detail the body style, seat material, disc material, pressure requirement, face-to-face and actuation method.
Do not consider wafer, lugged and flanged arrangements interchangeable without verifying with the piping connected to the project design.
Check Valves
To minimize the reverse flow, check valves are available in a number of types such as swing, lift, dual-plate, piston. The selection depends on the orientation of the installation, characteristics of the fluid, pressure drop, line velocity and system response.
The valve pattern and/or the damping, external-lever and counterweight or any special closure behaviour should be stipulated in the customer’s specification.
Plug, Needle and Other Valve Types
A variety of other products used for flow control, such as needle valves, diaphragm valves, plug valves or strainers may be required for the project. Datasheets and/or material descriptions should be provided for each item.
For some specialised valves such as control valves, pressure-relief devices and instrument valves, further engineering data and/or manufacturer documentation may be required. These items are checked off against the detailed enquiry as opposed to a general valve description.
Saudi Arabia pipeline valves supplier service provides appropriate solutions for various pipeline requirements, such as new pipelines, tie-ins, utilities, plant upgrading and replacement. Valves should be selected to fit the pipeline design, operating condition and the fluid properties and inspection requirements.
When the customer ships pipeline packages, the line list, valve schedule, piping material class, drawings or datasheets of the complete requirement should be included. This verifies the pressure class, end preparation, bore, face-to-face dimension, body material, trim and actuation.
Pipeline valves should not be ordered based on the nominal size and type only. Two valves of the same size and class may have different materials, size, bore, seat construction and adaptability to the media.
The valve body and bonnet, valve stem, disc, ball and valve seat or sealing materials should be appropriate to the service and project specification. Typical requests could include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, cast iron, ductile iron, bronze or any other suitable material.
The selection of materials should be based on corrosion, temperature, pressure, compatibility of fluids and/or the specification of related piping. The body material gives away only a part of the entire valve. The internal trim and soft components can be as critical to performance and service as the external trim and hard components.
If the customer needs a specific material grade, trim number or corrosion allowance then it is necessary to specify it in the enquiry. Substitutions must be technically reviewed and be submitted with written acceptance prior to supply.
The size and pressure ratings of valves should be compatible with the approved piping design. These can come in a variety of different flanged, butt-weld, socket-weld, threaded, wafer, lugged and other arrangements.
In the case of the flanged valve, it is necessary to ensure that the standard, facing and drilling are confirmed. End preparation and the compatibility of material should be considered for butt-weld valves. For smaller valves, the type of threads and the size of the valve’s socket should be specified.
Face-to-face dimensions, bore requirements and mating arrangements may have an impact on installation. These information should be verified by the customer prior to purchase.
A handwheel, lever, gearbox, pneumatically or electrically actuated or by other approved means may be used to operate valves. It should be specified with the valve enquiry what the necessary operating method is.
The torque data, power supply, control signal, fail position, enclosure, accessories, limit switches and solenoids and interfaces may be required for actuated-valve packages. This information should be provided on a package specification or datasheet.
BIC is able to coordinate appropriate enquiries for valves and actuation, but engineering selection, the design of the control philosophy and final acceptance of the product is retained with the customer and/or responsible designer.
This page provides valve sourcing and supplying in relation to the service boundary including industrial valves. Applications to the dedicated metals, pipes and fittings service cover pipe, fittings, flanges and metal products.

We are an industrial valve supplier, KSA service can provide you with the packages required for your projects, maintenance requirements, materials for shutdowns, and the appropriate replacement enquiries. Technical complexity; quantity; approved brands; documentation and required delivery date are the key factors that will determine the sourcing approach.
Urgent replacement requests should include the following information: Photos of the nameplate if available, existing valve information, line service, size, class, connections and shutdown date required. A photograph may not capture all of the information that is required to perform a safe replacement.
For large packages, early submission allows time for technical clarification, manufacturer review, document approval, production, inspection and logistics. Please ensure that there is confirmation of delivery time with the approved specification and order scope.
Valves for construction, plant maintenance, utility systems, plant shutdowns and piping changes are likely to be needed for Jubail industrial plants and project sites. Jubail service is your industrial valve supplier that caters to appropriate enquiries for projects and operational needs.
The following information should be given to the customer: Plant or project name, delivery location, required documentation, approved manufacturer conditions and material-approval process. Products may need to be submitted to some facilities with specific submittal requirements, inspection plan requirements, certificates or vendor registration requirements before products are accepted.
Requirements for other locations within Eastern Province such as Dammam and Khobar can be checked. The availability of the products, technical approval, inspection, transport conditions are relevant to the delivery and mobilisation planning.
BIC is a valves trading company to which KSA customers can turn to, with valve schedules, material requisitions, datasheet and replacement needs. Our job is to source based on the approved description, explain business and technical requirements, facilitate documentation and support delivery.
Buying because of lowest price, or something similar is not encouraged. Industrial valves have impact on isolation, flow and system integrity and offered product will be considered in the context of the overall requirement.
If multiple brands sources are offered, the quotation must specify the specific brand and or source, technical description, model series, exclusions and documentation included.
Project valve orders may include documentation such as manufacturer datasheets and material certificates, test certificates, compliance statements, inspection records, drawings, manuals, packing lists, and other documents. At the enquiry stage, the customer should specify what documents he/she requires.
Documentation requirements may have impact on cost and delivery. Not all of the same document packages may be provided in a standard commercial valve that would be supplied in a project-manufactured valve. The requirements should consequently be confirmed prior to accepting the quotation.
Nameplates, tags and traceability markings should match with the records provided, if necessary. When relevant, a document review should be completed prior to dispatch that is part of the project approval process.
The inspection and testing of the valves should be performed according to the approved specification, applicable standard and purchase order. Inspection, dimensional, shell, seat and or functional operation or document review may be required.
Third party customer witness inspection should be requested at an early stage as this may impact on manufacturing and delivery timelines. Before placing an order, there should be a discussion of the scope of the inspection, notification period and documents of location and acceptance.
BIC can facilitate the agreed upon process for supply-side. Unless expressly stated in writing, Site installation, commissioning and system testing is under the responsible contractor or client.
Valves need to be packed to guard the cleanliness of the internal works, coatings, actuators and accessories from damage and protect the faces and end connections during storage and moving. Depending on the product and trip, flange protectors, caps, moisture protection, crates or other measures might be necessary.
Valves that are heavy or actuated may require planned lifting/loading arrangements. Limitation in access to the site, offloading responsibilities and delivery times should be confirmed with the customer before dispatch.
Orders may be coordinated by area, system or line or ordered on-site, depending upon the ordered-on-site dates as part of the agreed supply plan, for phased projects.
