Case Study: a leading oil & gas equipment manufacturer achieves 15K pressure seal qualification and a 25% faster timeline with ITC Infotech

Leading Oil & Gas Equipment Manufacturer compresses metal seal development timeline by 25% with ITC Infotech

ITC Infotech partnered with a leading oil & gas equipment manufacturer to overcome complex challenges in developing a new high-pressure metal seal for sour service. The business challenge involved intricate material selection to meet API and NACE standards, performing highly non-linear FEA with plasticity and convergence issues, and designing a test fixture to validate the seal at 15K pressures per API 6A and TR8 requirements.

The solution implemented by ITC Infotech leveraged advanced finite element analysis (FEA), material optimization, and integrated project management. This approach included consulting with internal SMEs, managing overlapping activities for efficiency, and conducting rigorous test reporting and root cause analysis. As a result, ITC Infotech delivered a qualified metal seal that met all performance standards and compressed the overall project timeline by 25%.
