Stark Solutions - Model S-500 -Threaded Closure for Oil and Gas Industry
The Stark S-500 Threaded Closure is a widely used closure in the oil and gas industry, designed for robust performance and cost-effectiveness. Stark has enhanced the standard design to improve operation, incorporating features that eliminate hammering and enhance operator control. Manufactured in diameters ranging from 2 inches to 52 inches (DN50 to DN1300) and pressure series 150 through 2500, it meets various standards including ASME B31.3/B31.4/B31.8 and CSA Z662 Cat. II. The S-500 features a flat sealing surface for optimal sealing across all sizes, and a bidirectional hinge design for versatile operation. Standards for specific sizes include wrench openings and PAV compliance as per ASME BPVC VIII DIV. 1. It operates from -50°F to +400°F (-45°C to 204°C) and offers several optional customizations such as flanged closures, stainless steel weld overlays, and specialized materials and O-rings.
The Stark S-500 Threaded Closure represents historically the most widely used closure style in the oil and gas sector. Based on the industry’s desire for robust and cost-effective solutions, Stark improved upon the standard design to bring operation to a new level. Features to avoid hammering and strengthen operator control were incorporated into the otherwise proven design. The S-500 is manufactured in diameters ranging from 2” to 52” (DN50 to DN1300) and pressure series 150 through 2500.
