Custom Valve and Flange Testing Skid & Pressure Regulating Valve Test Skid | OKAY Energy
Project Overview
OKAY Energy Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. was selected to supply equipment and related services for a hydrogen pipeline pilot test platform developed for a key laboratory focused on the safe transportation of multi-medium pipelines in Xinjiang, China.
The project included two customized skid packages: a Valve and Flange Testing Skid (SK0203) and a Pressure Regulating Valve Testing Skid (SK0204). The scope covered specified valves, flanges, piping components, instrumentation, manufacturing, assembly, testing, documentation, transportation, and related technical services in accordance with the project requirements.
Designed for integration into a specialized pipeline testing platform, these packages demonstrate OKAY Energy’s capabilities in industrial skid engineering, high-pressure valve and flange assemblies, and project-specific equipment manufacturing.
Project Challenges
The project required equipment packages to meet detailed technical specifications and interface requirements. Key considerations included:
- High-pressure connection requirements: The specified main connections included DN200, Class 900 flanges with ring-type joint (RTJ) facing.
- Valve and component selection: Valve body materials, trim materials, sealing arrangements, flange specifications, and bolting requirements had to comply with the project documentation.
- Integrated skid configuration: Valves, flanges, gaskets, bolting, piping accessories, and instrumentation needed to be coordinated within the defined equipment scope.
- Testing and quality documentation: Manufacturing, welding, painting, pressure testing, non-destructive examination (NDE), leak testing, inspection, and documentation were included in the specified project scope.
- Control-system interfaces: Instrumentation and communication interfaces required coordination with the relevant control-system supplier.
Meeting these requirements called for careful technical review and coordination throughout equipment manufacturing and delivery.
Engineering Solution: Two Customized Testing Skids
1. Valve and Flange Testing Skid (SK0203)
The SK0203 package was configured according to the project’s valve and flange testing skid requirements.
Key specified components included:
- DN200, Class 900 electric ball valves
- Full-bore valve design
- A105N valve bodies
- 316L stainless steel valve stems and balls
- PTFE soft seals
- DN200 Class 900 flanges with RTJ facing
- Metallic ring gaskets and associated bolting
- Supporting valves, piping accessories, and instrumentation as specified
The component selection and connection configuration were based on the technical agreement and the required equipment interfaces.
2. Pressure Regulating Valve Testing Skid (SK0204)
The SK0204 package was designed around the project’s pressure regulating valve testing skid requirements.
The specified configuration included:
- DN200, Class 900 electric ball valves
- Supporting smaller-diameter valves
- Flanges, gaskets, and bolting
- Purge check valves, bypass valves, and blowdown valves
- Telescopic joints and associated piping components
- Pressure and temperature instrumentation
- Instrumentation and interface requirements defined in the project documentation
The package scope also included coordination of manufacturing, inspection, documentation, and interfaces with the wider pilot test platform.
Manufacturing, Inspection and Quality Control
The project scope specified a series of manufacturing and quality-control activities to support equipment delivery, including:
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Welding and painting
- Pressure testing and leak testing
- Non-destructive examination (NDE), where specified
- Inspection and technical documentation
- Packing and transportation
- Related site services, training, and technical coordination
The technical agreement referenced applicable project requirements and standards, including ASME B16.5, API 6D, ISO 5208, and ANSI/FCI 70-2 where applicable.
Final compliance and acceptance are governed by the project specifications and applicable inspection records.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a valve testing skid?
A valve testing skid is an integrated equipment package configured for specified valve testing applications. Depending on the project, it may include valves, piping components, flanges, instrumentation, and supporting accessories.
What is included in a valve and flange testing skid?
The scope depends on the technical specification. It may include valves, flanges, gaskets, bolting, piping accessories, instrumentation, manufacturing, inspection, testing, and documentation.
Can OKAY Energy supply high-pressure valve skid packages?
OKAY Energy can review project-specific pressure ratings, connection standards, valve materials, instrumentation, and supply boundaries to determine an appropriate equipment configuration.
Can a testing skid be customized for a hydrogen pipeline project?
Equipment for a hydrogen pipeline project must be evaluated against the actual design conditions, materials, sealing requirements, applicable codes, and project-specific qualification requirements. Hydrogen service suitability should be confirmed through technical review and supporting documentation rather than assumed from the application alone.
How can I request a quotation for a customized testing skid?
Please provide the process conditions, design pressure and temperature, flow requirements, P&ID or equipment datasheet, applicable standards, required instrumentation, delivery location, and expected delivery schedule. OKAY Energy can then review the requirements and determine the appropriate quotation scope.
