The integrity of well head pressure control valve equipment is a very important aspect of upstream field operations, ensuring the equipment works correctly, at all times.  The selection & application of the correct gate valve cavity lubricant is proven to influence significantly the sustained integrity of gate valves, or regaining integrity which has been lost.

Valve Lubricant 601 is a fully synthetic grease compound, delivering both lubricating and sealing performance within a temperature range of -20⁰F to 350⁰F.  601 is specially formulated to provide optimum resistance to  aggressive produced fluids and gasses and process chemicals.  It is also proven to reduce valve failure in sand services.

Through field trials, RS Clare valve lubricants have been proven to seal leaking gate valves for sustained periods, where other valve lubricants have been unsuccessful. 

Over many field trials, where 601 has been used in leaking valves, a sucess rate (valve now holding full pressure) of 70% has often been observed.

One example is a Major Oil & Gas company confirmed that by injecting 601 alone reduced their number of leaking valves by >70%, all in high pressure gas service which is the most arduous conditions for gaining a seal on a problem gate valve.

Also available in Winter and Arctic grades.
