Ball Valve RFQ Checklist
Use this ball valve RFQ checklist to prepare valve type, size, class, materials, seats, ends, operation, service, testing and documentation before requesting a quotation.
Ball Valve RFQ Checklist: information to prepare before quotation.
Use this ball valve RFQ checklist to prepare valve type, size, class, materials, seats, ends, operation, service, testing and documentation before requesting a quotation.
Recommended workflow
Start with service conditions, then confirm valve construction and project compliance. This order avoids choosing a valve from only one product name or pressure class while missing the engineering constraints that control the final design.
- Valve type and quantity
- Nominal size and ASME pressure class
- Design standard and project valve specification
- Body, ball, stem and seat materials
- End connection and bore requirement
- Manual or actuated operation
- Design pressure, temperature and media
- Fire-safe, fugitive-emission or sour-service requirements
- Inspection, testing, coating and documentation
Use the checklist with project documents
Attach the piping class, valve datasheet and applicable project specifications when available. State any mandatory deviation format, document list, inspection witness points and painting requirements in the RFQ.
Ball Valve RFQ Checklist FAQ
Why use a ball valve RFQ checklist?
It helps provide complete technical data and reduces clarification cycles before quotation.
Should project specifications be sent with the datasheet?
Yes. The valve datasheet should be reviewed together with the governing valve, material, testing and coating specifications.
Can the manufacturer select missing data automatically?
Missing data should be clarified rather than assumed when it affects design, materials, safety, compliance, price or delivery.
