METAL SEATED BALL VALVE

& FLOATING OVERVIEW

For certain applications such as abrasive media or high temperature, it is unthinkable to use soft seated ball valves and the best solution would be to have a top quality metal seated valve at a reasonable price.

APV is glad to introduce it’s range of METAL SEATED BALL VALVES, a high performance, high quality, standard production ball valve with competitive price and relatively short delivery term.

APV meets the market demand for a valve that will perform critical service but which can be tailored to suit different needs at a cost effective price.

The production of APV METAL SEATED ball valves has been divided in two different categories: LOW PRESSURE / HIGH TEMPERATURE and CORROSIVE / ABRASIVE SERVICE.

• Precision machined external stem bearings eliminate radial movement which causes packing wear.

• Extensive stuffing box with dual anti-extrusion rings keeps packing in place and eliminates leak paths.

• Tested to MSS-SP-61, API 598, ISO 5208 or Class V or VI shutoff.

• The ball and seats are mate-lapped for 100% sealing area contact which ensures absolute shutoff.

• Fire safe to API 607 5th & 6th Edition.

• The ball protects the seats from flow when the valve is open or closed which reduces wear on sealing surfaces.

• The seat spring combined with line pressure provides a constant mechanical force while allowing for thermal expansion.

• Each valve is individually tested prior to leaving the factory.

• All pressure containing components meet or exceed the ASME B16.34 and ASME Section VIII standards, and API 6D.

DIMENSIONS & MATERIALS

OVERVIEW

MATE LAPPING

Australian Pipeline Valve manufacture severe and critical service ball valves. Valves can be manufactured in class IV, V and VI shut off as well as API 598 and MSS-SP61. Special resilient and metal seated high performance ball valves with ‘cam action seats’ are also available. This seat design lifts off the ball/disc during opening and closing to avoid seat damage. The design also protects the seat from high velocity and abrasion damage during initial opening. Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves designed for abrasive service, feature a metal to metal sealing between the ball and seat rings, while the sealing between the seat and the seat housing shoulders is achieved by means of o-rings, graphite gaskets or lip seal o-rings or bellows seals depending on service conditions.

The ball and the seat rings are hard-faced using different coating mediums such as Electro-less Nickel, Chrome Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Chromium Carbide and Stellite depending on media, temperature & service to be handled. A specially designed seat ring avoids the inclusion of sand or other debris in the spring recess.

Special flushing systems for the seat pocket area are available on request for valves to be used in extremely “dirty” services. Valves can be bi-directional or uni-directional

Proprietary mate-lapping is available which produces the tightest, most reliable seal available. All metal seated ball valves rely on continuous, unbroken contact between the ball and metal seat to create an isolating seal. 360° mate-lapping of the entire ball and seat produces optimal roundness, producing 100% ball to seat contact, regardless of the positioning. Traditional cup-lapping methods mate only the sealing band of the ball to seat surfaces creating ridges that distort the balls roundness and compromise the coating thickness. The sealing “sweet spot” is much smaller and a leak path may develop if even slightly misaligned resulting in reduced valve life, more maintenance and higher actuation costs.

SEATING SYSTEMS FOR ABRASIVE & DIRTY SERVICE TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVES

APV CONVENTIONAL SOFT SEAT INSERT

APV seat inserts can be ordered in a variety of materials whilst still complying to API seat test requirements for “bubble-tight shut off” for oil & gas applications as well as specialised fluid transmission applications in chemical and mining sectors.

APV CONVENTIONAL SOFT SEAT INSERT + SCRAPER

The A-PMSS+S® design is the same as the A-PMSS® above except for the addition of a scraper. On conventional trunnion ball valve seating systems, APV offers the PR-A-PMSS+S® seat design option (8” and above). A protective scraper ring is inserted in front of the soft seat insert to remove solid particles, dirt or debris that could damage or clog the contact area between ball and soft seat insert ring. This feature assures that the working area of the seat will be clean allowing the seats to work effectively. This design prolongs seat life whilst only minimally increasing cost and is particuarly advantageous for valves that cannot be removed from the line for repair such as buttweld valves, welded body valves, buried service valves as well as known non clean service applications.

APV COMPOSITE SEAL SEAT SYSTEM

APV Double or Triple seal seat design is ideal for applications that require redundant sealing when start up conditions are known to have debris in the line and where removing the valve is not possible. This design offers lower torque and superior low pressure shut-off whilst providing zero leakage reliability at an affordable price compared to metal seated. Multiple material types are employed for each seal providing a combination of resilient and superhard properties to deal with a wide range of entrained particulates and debris. Even if one or even two of the seals are damaged an effective seal can usually be maintained. See page 20 for full details.

APV METAL TO METAL SEATS

APV has extensive experience in the supply of valves for applications such as high temperature corrosive and/or erosive/abrasive environments. Various hard face material can be employed on the ball and seat face. Refer to the Metal to Metal seated section in this catalogue.

SEATING SYSTEMS FOR ABRASIVE & DIRTY SERVICE COMPOSITE SEATING

Since leather was combined with timber to improve the bow, composite solutions have provided solutions for demanding applications. Yet when it comes to trunnion ball valve seats, most manufacturers only offer a single seat insert solution which is easily damaged. Service considerations include temperature, media type, pressure etc. In the end materials like Nylon, Devlon & PEEK® are a compromise that must serve many masters. Hard seat inserts have no resilience or memory for indentations and can have trouble sealing at very low pressures. In addition, these materials increase the valves torque and reduce the temperature range.

APV offers double & triple seating solutions utilising metal, teflon, hard Viton, Devlon etc. In addition we can supply special ‘cam action’ axial lift seats that lift off during opening & closing protecting the seat from high velocity & abrasive damage.

Seat types include:-

A-PMSS®-PRIMARY

METAL SECONDARY SEAL

This design provides ‘metal to metal’ class IV or V shut off in addition to API 598 zero leakage provided by a resilient seat insert. This is a conventional seating design but APV optionally reduces the standard metal to metal tolerances for drip tight or bubble tight applications.

A-PMSS+S®-PRIMARY METAL SECONDARY SEAL + SCRAPER

The A-PMSS+S® design is the same as the PMSS® above except for the addition of a scraper. On conventional trunnion ball valve seating systems, APV offers the PR-A-PMSS+S® seat design option (8” and above).

A protective scraper ring is inserted in front of the soft seat insert to remove solid particles, dirt or debris that could damage or clog the contact area between ball and soft seat insert ring. This feature assures that the working area of the seat will be clean allowing the seats to work effectively. This design prolongs seat life whilst only minimally increasing cost and is particuarly advantageous for valves that cannot be removed from the line for repair such as buttweld valves, welded body valves, buried service valves as well as known non clean service applications.

A-DRS®-DOUBLE RESILIENT SEAL

This design marries teflon or an elastomeric seal such as hard viton which has excellent memory providing indentation resilience with Devlon, Nylon or PEEK® which handle higher pressures but are also more scratch resistant. Even with this system there is still primary metal to metal seating but it is not mate lapped like in the PMSS® Seat.

A-TRS®-TRIPLE RESILIENT SEAL

In addition to Double Resilient Seal® a third hardened Viton resilient seal is added which has more resilience to indentation & ensures a bubble tight seal even at very low pressures. This third seal will still also handle high pressures even if the other two seals fail. Many manufacturers use this as their only seal. The above systems are ideal for applications that require redundant sealing and where access to repair the valve is not feasible. Lower torque and lower shut off pressures are additional advantages of this design.

In summary, these seating systems provide a much longer leak free life at a lower cost compared to metal to metal seated ball valves and can supplied in quicker delivery. These seating systems offer the additional advantages of lower torque as well as high and very low pressure sealing assurance.

APV can also hard coat and treat ball and/or seat with low friction sinterised coatings to reduce friction coefficient and solve wedging problems.

CERAMIC BALL & DISC SLIDE VALVES FOR SEVERE SERVICE SB SERIES

INCORPORATING GERMAN DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

PROPERTIES OF ENGINEERED CERAMICS

Ceramics are hard, brittle and chemically largely inert. They can be machined to excellent quality surfaces. They do not gall in like-to-like contact. Ceramics are dimensionally stable, do not creep and have reproducible thermal expansion characteristics.

However, ceramics have poor tensile-strength properties. Moreover the reproducibility of tensile tests is poor, particularly at lesser loads.

A composite of ceramics inside forged steel bodies had to be developed. The result is a patented buildup with loose-fitting ceramics which does not transmit anything but compressive loads to the steel body.

Where corrosion resistance is an issue, conventional corrosion protection methods are used like metal cladding, PTFE lining, or use of corrosion resistant forged metals.

APV valves take on the problems of pressure containment, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, one at a time. Not one material can serve many masters, but different materials do different jobs. The art is in combining the materials to work as a unit.

Different ceramics are used for various applications, much like metal alloys. The table below, describes the most important features of the most commonly used ceramic materials. Among the groups of oxides, carbides, and nitrides, there is generally a trade off between chemical inertness and mechanical properties.

We offer the solution for problems in abrasion & corrosion.

The specific application determines the best compromise between the several mechanical properties & chemical resistance.

Ceramic types available:-

• ALUMINAOXIDE - A1203

• AIRCONIAOXIDE - Zr O2

• SILICON CARBIDE - Si Si C

• SILICON NITRIDE - Si3 N4

• HOT PRESSED SILICON CARBIDE - HPSIC

• HOT PRESSED SILICON NITRIDE - HPSN

The mechanical properties are also a compromise between ductility, abrasion resistance, hardness and temperature limitations on reaction to thermal shock.

Al2 O3 - High resistance against abrasion. Not suitable in thermal-shock applications. Mechanical properties depend on the method of alloying and key variables in the production process. Limited corrosion resistance in alkaline environment.

ZrO2 - Less brittle than Al2O3 but also less corrosion resistant. Some susceptibility to thermal-shock damage but reasonable wear-properties. Thermal expansion behaviour similar to steel. Well suited for sizes larger than four inch.

SiSiC Good abrasion resistance, content of metallic Si limits applications in corrosive environment.

SiC Very good wear resistance. Surface may oxidize to SiO2 in steam environment. High resistance in alkaline environments. Good thermal-shock resistance. Thermal expansion factor differs markedly from that of steel and nickel alloys.

Si3N4 Most ductile of commonly used engineered ceramics Good thermal-shock resistance. High abrasion resistance.

PROPERTIES OF OXIDE - AND NON-OXIDE ENGINEERED CERAMICS

Wear resistance correlates to Vickers Hardness. However, it changes with increasing temperature. Changes differ, but up to 800ºC are sizeably less, than is common experience with metals. Dates are meant to indicate typical figures as at 20ºC.

SB SERIES - CERAMIC BALL & DISC SLIDE VALVES

Series SBC Linear flow characteristics is the object, and the ball is shaped accordingly. There is no contact between the metallic valve body and the flowing material. Ceramic components are fitted to avoid tensile loads.

APV ceramic - lined valves protect the forged steel body in abrasive service through the use of ceramics without soft seals. The result is and engineered product of proven reliability. For open - closed applications the ceramic ball and its floating seats secure the protection of the metallic valve body from abrasive media flow.

OR-B150 SERIES - OVERVIEW

TOP ENTRY STRUCTURE

The OR-150 valve design is top entry and trunnion mounted. The most distinctive difference between this kind of valve and others is that the inline maintenance function can be performed without the need to remove the valve from the pipeline.

STRUCTURE

The body is integral ensuring strength and rigidity. The valve trims have been carefully designed and selected to ensure reliability under various service conditions. The wall thickness and the connection bolts are high strength and are able to endure pipeline stress.

LOWER TORQUE

The stem structure is specially designed and there is no friction between seat ball sealing faces. Therefore the stem can turn easily with low opening and closing torque.

OPENING OF OR-B150 BALL VALVE

When it is in the closed position, the ball is closely pressed onto the seat under mechanical pressure from the stem. When the handwheel is turned counter clockwise, the stem will move upward, and the angular plane at the bottom of the stem will make the ball sealing face leave the seat. The stem will continue rising and interact with the guide pin in the stem spiral groove to make the ball turn 90° without friction until the stem rises to the ultimate position and the ball bore is aligned with the valve channel.

CLOSING OF OR-B150 BALL VALVE

During closing, turn the handwheel clockwise, the stem will move downward and make the ball start rotating. Continue turning the handwheel, and the stem will make the stem and ball turn 90° together under the action of a guide pin in the spiral groove embedded in the stem. When it is nearly closed, the ball has turned 90° without contact with the seat. The stem will continue moving downward, the ball pushes onto press the seat so as to make the sealing face in the seat produce elastic deformation and closely fit the ball sealing face, and therefore, ensuring safe and reliable zero leakage without the normal turning action that damages traditional ball valve seats.

HELIX STEM

The unique helix-shaped stem ensures low maintenance and no wear:

Friction-free linear operation - no pin and cam in the stem construction

Eliminates rubbing - no contact between the seat and ball during 90-degree operation

Easy open - retracts the ball from the seat

Easy close - pushes the ball toward the seat

OPEN

In the full open position, the stem is fully raised with no contact between the seat and ball.

OPEN TO CLOSE

The downwards linear movement of the helix causes the ball to rotate 90 degrees. There is no contact between the seat and ball during movement ensuring friction free/non scraping.

CLOSED

In the closed position, after the ball is turned 90 degrees it is mechanically wedged onto the seat by the helix stem. The movement of the ball towards the seat provides positive metal-to-metal sealing on reaching its fully closed position.

DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED VALVES - OVERVIEW

SINGLE BALL TRUNNION DB&B

Conventional single ball trunnion mounted ball valves have two energised generally bi-directional seats. The body cavity can then be fitted with a drain valve at the body cavity drain point and this type of valve is then sold as a “Double block and bleed valve”. Australian Pipeline Valve individually tests each valve to verify zero leakage at the drain point. Conventional single ball trunnion valves typically feature self relieving ‘single sealing’ seats which automatically relieve body cavity pressure downstream. Uni-directional valves can be specified which only relieve upstream. Conventional single ball design still allows a closed valve to leak up or downstream should the body cavity over pressurise.

However, double piston effect (DPE) seats can also be specified on single ball DB&B trunnion valves. This style of valve is classified under API 6D as a ‘Double Isolation and Bleed Valve’. This design ensures that both seats are always sealing, even if one seat does fail, the other seat will continue to maintain a seal as the two way seats maintain a bi-directional seal. With DPE seats, a body cavity external pressure relief valve is fitted (which can be optionally by-passed back to the upstream flange of the valve or to the flare). This is a cheaper option than twin ball DB&B valves whilst still providing a high level of integrity.

However, due to insurance reasons as well as for absolute assurance of sealing integrity, some customers require a dual ball or plug style to provide a higher level of assurance. Also, conventional single ball trunnion valves typically feature self relieving seats which need to be taken into account. Double piston effect seats are available on trunnion mount ball valves which can be specified on single ball DB&B valves. Unlike self relieving seats, these seats will not relieve pressure back upstream in the event of cavity over pressure. A body cavity external relief valve is instead fitted for this purpose.

DOUBLE BALL/PLUG DB&B VALVES - DUAL TYPE

These valves have a single body with dual Ball or Plug valves with a bleed valve installed between the two main line valves. These valves are available bi-directional in metal seated and soft seated style, both in ANSI Class VI bubble tight shut off. These tandem design valves offer several advantages. Sometimes called twin valves, DB&B valves are available in Plug and Trunnion Ball type up to 600mm NB in ANSI 150 to 2500 class. They replace existing traditional techniques employed by pipeline engineers to generate a double block and bleed configuration in the pipeline. There are several designs and configurations of Double Block & Bleed valves as follows :-

DB&B Round Port Dual Plug Valve

DB&B Floating Dual Ball Valve

DB&B Component Dual Ball Valve

DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED VALVES - OVERVIEW

CARTRIDGE TYPE STANDARD LENGTH

DUAL VALVES TRUNNION DB&B VALVES

Cartridge type standard length DB&B valves consist of two valves and a bleed valve in one compact cartridge type unit with ANSI B16.5 flanged & tapped connections. This design configuration allows the same face to face dimensions as a single block ball as specified in API 6D and ANSI B16.10. (Australian Pipeline Valve and its sub contract manufacturers can produce this type style of DB&B ball valve).

FULLY FLANGED LONG PATTERN DUAL VALVE TRUNNION DB&B VALVES

DB&B valves feature the traditional style of flange-by-flange type and is available with ANSI B16.5 flanges, hub connections and weld ends. Australian Pipeline Valve and its manufacturing partners can manufacture this type of DB&B Ball valve.

DB&B Plug valves in lubricated and non lubricated types are also available in a dual valve configuration in pressure balanced style, rectangular port, inverted plug and full circular port.

Both these single body DB&B designs have operational advantages as there are less potential leak paths within the double block & bleed section of the valve.

DUAL BALL FLOATING DESIGN DB&B VALVES

In smaller sizes typically from 8NB (1/4”) to 150NB (6”) Floating Ball design firesafe certified Twin Ball Double Block & Bleed valves are also available. Australian Pipeline Valves and its manufacturing partners can supply this style of valve in very short delivery in A105N, LF2, 316, F51 in 150 to 2500 class.

Lower cost firesafe certified modular DB&B Dual Floating Ball valves are also manufactured by Australian Pipeline Valve in flanged & screwed ends. This style can also be configured with one ball plus one needle valve in-line with an additional needle valve side bleed in cartridge style configuration with tapped ends to suit flanged connections both ends. For instrumentation use, mono flange wafer style, needle valve DB&B valves are also manufactured in short lead times.

BVF100-F26 DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED

6D SEMI TRUNNION SINGLE BALL

INTRODUCTION

The APV BVF100 with F26 trim design is a floating “semi-trunnion” design bi-directional API 6D full through conduit side entry 3 piece ball valve available up to 200NB (8”) in full port 600 class and up to 150NB (6”) full port in 900 & 1500 class. This model is also available in Double Block and Bleed. This floating Double Block & Bleed capable soft seated valve configuration has metal seat retainers (as used in trunnion ball valves) thereby providing the performance of a main line trunnion ball valve, whilst still providing all the advantages of a floating ball, due to fewer internal components such as springs, bearings and elastomer seals behind the seats that can jam, become damaged by particulates or become affected by temperature or contaminants in the media. The elastomer free design provides a lower and higher temperature range and serves a wider range of service types than trunnion valves. Furthermore, should the seats or ball become damaged, they can quickly and cheaply be replaces in the field, which is particularly advantageous for service applications with particulates in the media. Trunnion valves have an expensive and complex spring loaded and side sealed seat and trunnion / bearing system, which often means it is cheaper to replace the whole valve rather than send it to a valve specialist for repair. Where a trunnion design would normally be required for 600 to 1500 class above 80NB (3”), being able to supply floating design also has the advantage of shorter lead times and lower cost, especially when higher grades of steel are required, as well as for cryogenic applications.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

Gear Operator available on request. 900 to 1500 Class refer to drawing.

DESIGN BENEFITS

The BVF100 valve with F26 trim has stainless steel seat retainers and an encapsulated RPTFE or Devlon seat insert to ensure the valve handles maximum differential pressure without deformation. Normal floating ball seats tend to grip and distort under high pressure and high velocity, but the F26 seat design ensures torque is not much higher than most trunnion valves. Furthermore, a graphite seal behind the seat provides extra sealing assurance and ensures firesafe integrity. Line pressure provides the necessary force to shut off the valve by pressing the ball into the downstream seat. This ‘floating’ movement normally lets the upstream seat leak until the pressure between the upstream line & the cavity around the ball is equalised. However, with the BVF100 incorporating the F26 trim, a Double Block & Bleed (DB&B) system can be specified. As the encapsulated seat incorporates a Graphite/PTFE seat seal, there is no chance of pressure crossing behind the back of the seat. With the DB&B option, the seats are configured to provide an energised piston effect on both seats to ensure a positive bi-directional isolation of the body cavity. The energised seat design also provides a drip tight shut off even at very low pressures. A drain valve can be fitted to the bottom of the valve. An automatic body pressure relief valve can then be specified and can be plumbed back upstream or to flare. Conventional trunnion mounted ball valves have self-relieving “single sealing” seats, meaning a closed valve can still leak pressure down stream should the body cavity over pressurise. This can be dangerous if someone is working on the line down stream. Consequently the BVF100 with F26 DB&B “double sealing” seat option ensures that both seats are always sealing so even if the upstream seat fails the downstream seat will always maintain a positive seal.

LOW TORQUE / LOW ABRASION LIFT OFF SEAT

DESIGN BV100-QF

In conjunction with the European designer and patent holder, the proven Extremely Low Torque (ELT) ball valve is available as a simple option on APV valves. This design breaks the traditional ratio between the valve sealing force and the resulting valve operating torque. High sealing reliability and long lifespan are achieved whilst having an extremely low operating torque. Whilst the BVF100-QF valve is not marketed for dirty service, any impurities that may damage the soft seat will not effect the seat during opening or closing as is the case with conventional trunnion ball valves. For dirty service we recommend BVF100-EV design variation detailed below.

TECHNICAL FEATURES BV100-QF

Based on the design of a BVF100 trunnion mounted ball valve, the BVF100-QF utilises the existing proven conventional double piston effect self relieving seat design. A check valve is opened through a push pin upon rotating the stem to open & close. The original sealing force is diverted to push the seat away from the ball (only during opening or closing) by using the fluid pressure of the internal pipe line acting upon the piston action seat (utilising the existing automatic overpressure seat release feature.) The seat is separated from the ball during the opening and closing process ensuring extremely low torque, zero leakage and long lifespan. The seat spring tightness can be greater than a traditional trunnion ball valve when the ball is full open or closed provides superior sealing.

CAM ACTION OPTION BVF100-QF-EV

Another design variation for dirty & abrasive service is the cam action seat design. The BVF100-EV cam action design offers the same advantages as the BVF100-QF but is more suitable for dirty service as it does not rely on fluid diversion behind the seat. Instead it employs a cam action seat which lifts off ball during opening and closing to avoid seat damage. The design also protects the seat from high velocity and abrasion damage during initial opening. Composite triple seats can also be supplied with nylon/teflon/metal. This valve is a superior alternative for dirty & abrasive service applications. to a slurry valve or a full port plug valve. The cam action ‘axial lift off’ seat means this valve has all the advantages for dirty & abrasive service applications of a metal seated ball valve but without the disadvantages. As the valve turns the unique seat lifts off the ball during the turning motion whilst opening and closing. This reduces torque and prevents seat/ball damage. The cam action seat design prevents jamming and significantly increases the life of the valve. These metal seated valves are supplied to API 598 or ANSI class IV shut off only (class V and VI on request). Importantly the seat design enables the valves to continue to close off to class IV, even after continued use in abrasive or dirty service applications. This style of valve also offers the advantages of being compact and fast acting quarter turn design. Further advantages are gained in automated applications as quarter turn actuators are more competitive than linear actuators as used in rising stem ball valves and of course a lower torque enables the use of a smaller actuator. This style of ball valve is suited to mining, slurry and other abrasive service applications where particulates in the media represent a problem for traditional valves.

Materials of Construction

ADVANTAGES

• Extremely low torque: 5% of the traditional design.

• Triple life span:- The ball and seat are separated during the closing and opening process so there is no contact with the sealing surface which damages the seat in traditional valves so that the lifespan of the seat has been prolonged with triple of the traditional.

• Lower actuator cost: The ELT ball valve torque is 95% lower. The cost of an actuator is massively lower.

• Lower installation and maintenance cost:- Because the ELT ball valve has a low operating torque, this ensures excellent sealing performance and long lifespan. The smaller sized actuator largely reduces the installation space and makes the valve more reliable. The operation, maintenance costs and maintenance difficulty are greatly reduced.

• Stronger seal pressure when full open or closed (as seat springs can be tighter without affecting open/close torque.)

MAJOR COMPONENTS

BALL VALVES

NON-SPHERICAL BALL OPTION BV100-QS

For dirty oil & gas service another option is the non spherical ball design which has a scalloped ball to minimise contact area between the ball and seat. This reduces seat damage caused by particulates being dragged across the seat. It also reaches torque and allows debris to be flushed away. In addition this design has an angled seating bevel edge on the ball to push off debris to protect the seal. This design can be metal to metal or soft seat insert. Similar to the BVF100-RG Series shown in this catalogue, the BV100-QS does away with most of the unnecessary part of the ball which is not involved in the seating process.

TRUNNION BALL VALVES

BALL MOUNTED SEAT - ABRASIVE / DIRTY SERVICE

TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVES FOR MINING, OIL AND GAS

• The RG series suits harsh and high pressure isolation applications.

• Its unique trim design sets this valve design apart from any conventional spherical ball design

• 3 piece forged body (the best choice in the harsh & high pressure operating conditions)

• The RG Series can replace ball valves with standard face-to-face dimensions.

• Gate valves which require reduced face-to-face dimensions can be replaced with the wafer version.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Firesafe & Anti-Static

• Non spherical, non contacting ‘core’ (‘Mapegaz’ design)

• The ball ‘core’ does not require any grinding or polishing to achieve tightness

• The core acts as the carrier of the replaceable soft seat inserts, which are retained and locked into grooves in the ball by a F51 SS flange.

• F51 SS metal seat rings are positioned and retained between body segments

The RG series is radically different to conventional ball valves and was specifically developed to operate under harsh conditions such as abrasive fluids and high differential isolation. Yet unlike ‘metal to metal’ seat ball valves the RG series has a replaceable soft seat insert for bubble tight shut off with lower purchase and maintenance costs than metal to metal seat ball valves. In addition this valve can be easily serviced in the field and is less prone to malfunctioning under dirty service conditions.

The non-spherical core which acts only as a carrier of soft seats, eliminates problems encountered with conventional ball valves such as the seats being in constant contact with the polished sphere which tends to cause leakage due to scouring and erosion during opening and closing. BVF100-RG

Sealing occurs between the ball mounted seats and the single piece body seat rings with their unique profile. As the valve closes, the seals wipe the seat rings clean, reducing possible damage by entrained substances, thus avoiding an increase in the torque.

Full contact between the seal and seat only occurs after the final few degrees of rotation.

In the open position, the seals are protected within the body cavities from direct flow, ensuring less wear and damage from entrained substances, stimulating rinsing and cleaning action of the body cavity.

Applications include dirty service oil and gas as well as underground mine water dewatering applications and other mining applications which experience abrasive fluids and high differential pressures.

In the open position, the soft seals are protected within the body cavity from direct flow ensuring less wear and damage from suspended solids like silt etc. The soft seals are made from special heat-treated, glass reinforced PTFE, and regain their original shape even if the valve has been in the closed position for a prolonged period of time.

Under normal operating conditions these High Pressure Valves require little or no maintenance for long periods of time, and needs no lubrication. Most repairs can be done on site without special tools or skills. With the ball in the open position, the central body assembly is line removable, making all seal, fasteners, retaining and seal rings available for inspection or replacement, thereby reducing costs substantially. Replacement parts are fewer, less costly and repair times far shorter than those of conventional ball valves.

CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNICAL RISK / LIMIT OF LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR BALL VALVES

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

1. Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ ball valves can be used in a temperature range between -28.8 to +200°C. (Note, pressure limitations apply above 38°C refer to Pressure/Temperature charts.) For service temperatures below -28.8°C ball valve construction materials shall be submitted to an impact test at the minimum service temperature. For temperatures outside of the range of -28.8°C to +200°C ball valves have to be provided with seats, seals and body material able to withstand the temperature degree required.

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’ ball 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 ball or safety seats are available upon request).

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

5. In general Australian Pipeline Valve ‘Standard’ ball 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’ ball valves are not designed to bear loads on flanges, on pipe connections or pipeline.

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

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

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

10. The compatibility between ball 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, high temperature service, low temperature service, vacuum service, near zero pressure service and other special applications should be clearly stated when requesting quotation.

BALL VALVE START-UP

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

Before using the ball valve in a potential explosive atmosphere it’s necessary: -

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

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

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

• Before installing ball valves with welding ends to make sure that the process of welding is carried out in accordance with all the safety requirements of the classified zone.

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

STATIC ELECTRIC EFFECT The APV fire safe ball valves are provided with anti-static devices for ball-stem-body. When service conditions require electrical continuity to prevent static discharge, the user is responsible for specifying static grounding.

LIQUIDS WITH HIGH FLUID VELOCITY When ball valves are to be utilised on liquids with very high velocity, check with the valve distributor or manufacturer for appropriate advice to minimise the possibility of seat deformation, especially when they are highly pressurised on high temperature line.

THROTTLING SERVICE Ball valves are generally not recommended for throttling service, as both the fluid flow and the leading edge of the ball can damage or deform the resilient ball seats causing leakage. High fluid velocity or the presence of solid particles in suspension will further reduce seat life in throttling applications.

• Do not open the bonnet or cap when bearing pressure. Valve is not equipped with pressure access device. User should check it by other method through it’s piping system.

• Do not touch the surface of the valve on high temperature.

• Not allowed for unstable fluid, otherwise specified with category III in Declaration of conformity or/and in this user manual.

• Lock design on the handle to avoid the valve operated by non-related people is optional requested by the user.

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