SW, NPT, BW 800 TO 2690 CLASS

BONNETLESS GLOBE VALVES

One-piece, forged, bonnetless globe valves have been proven in critical service applications around the world. This includes high pressure drop, steam blow down, steam injection etc.

These fast acting isolation valves are rated up to 2690 Class and can be utilised in gas and super heated steam at up to 1100°F (593°C).

DESIGN FEATURES

One piece forged body

Eliminates pressure retaining threads or bolts. No welds to cut for servicing. Eliminates deposits.

Y Pattern forged body

Excellent flow characteristics. Allows streamlined flow. Eliminates corrosion and deposits. 60° incline pressure drop.

Heavy integral seating

Integral Stellite #6 seat & disc for long life. Tight shutoff.

Long valve life.

Good flow characteristics. Ease of re-facing.

Positive seating function as standard. Seat is guided at bottom and top.

Non-rotating splined stem

Non-rotating solid cone eliminates galling and eliminates scoring or bending of the stem. No torsion applied to gland packing.

Easy on site maintenance and low maintenance cost. Low operational torque.

Can not be detached from the stem. Close roundness and straightness tolerances. Burnished for superior finish.

Combination gland ring packing

Graphoil as standard maximum temperature. 650 degree °C. Long operating life.

Heavy two-piece gland bushings

Will withstand high stresses caused by liveloading. Bolt torques control total spring load. Two sets of GLAND BUSHINGS maintain a minimum permanent stress of 4000 psi on the graphite packing keeping it tight for long periods of time without maintenance.

Double packing and leak-off

A lantern ring and leak-off pipe option allows detection or draining of leakage, if any, from the lower packing set.

Short and narrow packing chamber

Sealing effectiveness improves as overall packing length shortens. Chamber wall is burnished to a superior finish.

Handle wheel

Impact Hand-wheel is not necessary thanks to the two roller bearings.

Unique, fully-enclosed stem nutdrive

Well lubricated stem nut rotates on two thrust bearings. 10,000 test cycles show no visible damage to parts.

Dust cover and sleeve protect stem threads from dirt, dust and sand.

CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNICAL RISK / LIMIT OF LIABILITY FOR APV GATE, GLOBE, CHECK VALVES

Australian Pipeline Valve don’t consider in our design the following factors of risk:

1. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves can be used in a temperature range between -29 to +490°C. (Note, pressure limitations apply above 38°C refer to Pressure/Temperature charts.) For service temperatures below -29°C valves construction materials shall be submitted to an impact test at the minimum service temperature. For temperatures above and below the standard range, special seals need to be specified by the client.

2. The onus is on the customer to specify all materials of construction and service conditions. Australian Pipeline Valve shall assume standard materials and conditions if not otherwise specified.

3. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are not equipped with devices suitable to avoid internal over-pressures caused by incorrect operations of process or by-fluids & liquids subjected to an increase of volume and/or pressure (these devices, such as the over-pressure hole in the gate or safety seats are available upon request).

4. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are not designed with special devices to withstand a sudden thermal jump (thermal shock).

5. In general Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are not mechanically designed to bear overloads due to exceptional atmospheric or natural phenomenon’s (such as earthquakes).

6. In general Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are not designed to bear loads on flanges, on pipe connections or pipe-line.

7. In general Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves can’t withstand ice inside their bodies (in this case the user has to consider the optional stem extension for insulating, avoiding the presence of residual product inside the valve).

8. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are not suitable for low temperature service below -29°C (-20°F) unless supplied (in a suitable body material) with cryogenic stem extension and other modifications, (available on request).

9. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ valves are suitable for ‘industrial’ oxygen (not medical) service when supplied degreased and packed in polyethylene bags only.

10. The compatibility between the valves construction materials and medium is selected by the user. The user is ultimately responsible for verifying the compatibility between medium and materials.

11. Abrasive or dirty service applications need to be considered and stated at time of order.

VALVE START-UP

Before installing the valve onto the pipe-line it is mandatory, for the user, to verify the compatibility of the valve with service conditions (medium, temperature and pressure). With reference to standard valves held in stock, the reseller and end user will have to assure themselves of the compatibility between the valve and the conditions required by the customer. Australian Pipeline Valve gate valves must be only used for on-off (fully open/fully closed) service.

Before using the valve in a potential explosive atmosphere it’s necessary for the customer to: -

• To verify the correct type of valve and operator is specified.

• To verify the compatibility between the valve and the zone in which the valve should be installed

• To foresee the pipe-line ground condition on which the valve should be installed

• To check that the temperature if the valve surface is not higher than the flammable point of the atmosphere in which the valve is installed (in this case specify an insulating cover device for the valve and an extension for the operator)

• To avoid mechanical knocks during the installation that may cause sparks.

Australian Pipeline Valve cannot be held responsible for damage caused by use of the product for any reason, especially if it is improper use or modified.

COMPLETE PRODUCT LINE

“Australian Pipeline Valve produces isolation, control and flow reversal protection products for severe and critical service media in utility, steam, pipelines, oil & gas and process industries. APV valves and pipeline products form the most competitive portfolio in the market.”
