Material Selection

Valves are manufactured in a range of exotic materials to suit specific service conditions.

Carbon Steel Low Temp Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Duplex Monel Inconel

Construction Details

BODY / CAP

Sealing is by O-rings and Graphite ring continues to provide a seal in the event of a fire. O-rings can be supplied suitable for AED applications in a variety of materials.

SEAT

Independent seats with preloaded springs are always in contact with the Ball to protect the seal even at low pressure. Replaceable Seat rings and soft inserts can be supplied in materials to suit most service conditions. For very high temperatures, sealing is ensured by metal to metal seats (Tungsten carbide coated). Most sizes and classes have a sealant injection system fitted as standard.

STEM & BALL

Stems are manufactured separately from the ball and feature an anti-blow-out design. They are supported by RPTFE lined bushes to reduce torque. Sealing is by O-rings and graphite rings. Balls are supplied in Forged or cast Stainless Steel, Duplex or Carbon Steel with ENP. The Trunnion Mounted design reduces operating torque and seat wear.

PACKING GLAND

The packing gland design is a two-piece self-aligning type. The gland proper has a spherical head that rides within the spherical joint of the gland flange. The gland proper has a shoulder, which restricts the complete entry into the stuffing box bore. This particular design assures a straight compression of the packing as the gland eyebolts are being equally adjusted, without injuring the stem.

Key Features & Testing

Anti-Static Device

Positive electrical contact between Stem, Ball, and Bonnet.

Double Block & Bleed

Equipped with vent plug to relieve cavity pressure.

Fire Safe

Certified by independent authority per API 607 & 6FA.

Testing

BS EN 12266 Pt 1&2, API 6D, API 598, ASME B 16.34.

External Coating & Accessories

Carbon Steel Valves are normally supplied with FAC standard paint finish. Valves can also be unpainted or finished to customer's paint specification.

Accessories Include: Locking devices, pipe pups, extended bonnets and actuators. Suitable materials, components, seats and O rings can be supplied for valves with Explosive Decompression Or Cryogenic applications.
