SERIES BALL VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

FIRESAFE CERTIFIED API 607 5TH, 6TH & 7TH

EDITION AND API 6FA 3RD EDITION

SUPER FIRESAFE DESIGN

When non-metal sealing materials are decomposed or deteriorated by a plant fire, the edge of the metal seat retainer preloaded by the seat spring comes into contact with the ball to provide metal to metal shut off of the line fluid to minimise internal leakage through the valve bore. APV ball valves are also antistatic design

EXTERNAL LEAKAGE PREVENTION

Leakage from the valve stem area is prevented by double sealing with 2 O-rings and a graphite gland gasket. Leakage through the valve body joint is also prevented by double sealing with elastomer O-ring and graphite body gasket. After a fire has deteriorated the O-rings, the graphite gland gasket, body gasket and stem seals are the measure that prevents external fluid leakage.

INTERNAL LEAKAGE PREVENTION

When non-metal materials such as O-ring, seat insert and spacer are decomposed or deteriorated by fire, the edge of the metal seat preloaded by the seat spring comes into contact with the Ball to shut off the line fluid to minimise internal leakage through the valve bore. Also the fire safe flexible graphite seat area packing will be compressed by the seat spring to prevent fluid leakage between the valve body and the seat.

ANTI BLOW-OUT STEM

The stem is separate from the ball. The lower end of the stem is designed with an integral collar to be blowout-proof.

ANTI-STATIC DEVICE

Antistatic device is a standard feature of APV ball valve. A spring-loaded pin assures the electrical continuity, between ball, stem and body, so as to avoid sparks during turning of the stem to open and close the valve, which could be dangerous in case of hazardous area installation.

BVF100 SERIES BALL VALVE DESIGN FEATURES - SEATING TYPES

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 & 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.

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 APV Special Service Ball Valve Catalogue.

BVF100 SERIES BALL VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

- SEAT & STEM SEALING

SEAT DESIGN

APV piston-action seats are floating type & allow the automatic relief of excess pressure from the body to the pipeline. The helical seat springs that provide a uniform initial low pressure seat sealing load against the ball are fully enclosed in individual housings. Independent floating spring loaded seats are always in contact with ball to provide an effective tight seal even at low differential pressures. Independent upstream & downstream seats permit draining of fluid from the body cavity, allowing double block & bleed operation. With the single sealing feature, when the valve is closed there is an automatic body cavity release of over pressure to the line through the downstream seat. The pre-tightened seat springs are preset to automatically relieve excess cavity pressure caused by thermal expansion down stream once pressure exceeds the API 6D (6.8) maximum (1.33 times the valve pressure rating at 38°C at the time of publishing this catalogue)

A combination of double sealing features on the downstream side and single sealing on the upstream seat is available on request. This configuration maintains the sealing capacity of the valve in case of failure of the up stream seat and release of the body cavity over pressure through the up stream seat.

PISTON-ACTION SEATS

As line pressure increases the seat reacts to the force of the pressure to form an effective seal. In the absence of line pressure, coil springs around the seat unit provide a tight seal by keeping the seat in contact with the ball.

SEALANT INJECTION

APV ball valves ordinarily require no lubrication. Configuration shows a secondary temporary sealing mechanism to inject sealant directly to the seats in case the seats are ever damaged by foreign matters or in event of an accident.

As line pressure increases the seat reacts to the force of the pressure to form an effective seal. In the absence of line pressure, coil springs behind the seat provide a tight seal by keeping the seat in contact with the ball surface. Independent floating spring loaded seats are always in contact with the ball to provide an effective tight seal even at low differential pressure. Independent upstream and downstream seats permit draining of fluid from the body cavity, so allowing double block & bleed operation (closed position only). With the optional single sealing feature, there is automatic body cavity release of over pressure to the line through the down stream seat.

SELF RELIEVING SEATS (STANDARD)

In self relieving condition, excessive internal body pressure is automatically relieved both upstream & downstream into the line by excessive pressure forcing the seats away from the ball.

DOUBLE PISTON EFFECT (DPE) SEATS

With the ‘DPE’ seat option, if a leakage occurs in the upstream seat, the pressure entering the body cavity pushes the downstream seat against the ball & valve seals. Line pressure forces a seal against the floating seat.

TRIPLE BARRIER STEM SEAL DESIGN

Leakage from the stem area is prevented by double barrier sealing with O-Rings as well as graphite fireseals. Leakage through the valve body joint is also protected by double sealing with an O-Ring and a flexible graphite gasket. After a fire has deteriorated the O-Rings, graphite packing and secondary seal ensure prevention of external fluid leakage.

DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED

Whether in the open or closed position, pressure on each side of the ball is blocked from the body cavity by the seat ring. The cavity can be blown down or drained (only in closed position) through the body port to indicate line isolation is effective.

EMERGENCY SEALING FUNCTION

In case of fluid leaks from the seat or stem sealing area, a sealant can be supplied through the injection fitting to temporarily prevent leakage.

Graphite

An external body relief valve is installed to protect the body cavity from excess pressure which can be vented to atmosphere or recycled back to the upstream side of the valve or to flare.

Piston action seats are standard and provide bi-directional sealing.

FEATURES - STEM SEAL & SEAT RATINGS

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STEM SEAL

The main stem seal is formed using two O-rings protected by two back-up rings to avoid extrusion. The design of the stem seal allows for the injection of plastic packing or grease sealant to form an emergency seal.

The stem bearing washer and the upper and lower trunnion bearings are made from reinforced teflon with a stainless steel backing. This assures a low friction coefficient and high corrosion resistance.

TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

UP

STREAM SEALING TWO-WAY VALVE

The up-stream seal of the valve is effected by the advanced spring pre-tightening seats which automatically adjust. The twoway valve has two seats that can be sealed in both directions, so there’s no limitation of flow direction during installation.

DOUBLE

BLOCK & BLEED VALVE

Being “up-stream side sealing”, the valve can bleed out the trapped fluid in the body cavity when the valves is in fully open or fully close position. The fluid is intercepted by seats on up stream and down stream side.

As line pressure increase the seat reacts to the force of the pressure to form an effective seal. In the absence of line pressure, coil springs around the seat unit provide a tight seal by keeping the seat in contact with the ball.

The stem packing or O-ring may be replaced under working pressure. Bleeding the dirty fluid periodically can reduce damage of the sealing surface and prolong the service life of the valve.

AUTOMATIC RELIEF OF THE CAVITY

If the pressure of the body cavity unusually increases due to thermal expansion, APV ball valves automatically relieve the pressure by compressing the spring in the spring pre-tightening seat package. The excess pressure will then be relieved back downstream.

Optional seat designs can be specified to relieve pressure only back upstream or in the case of Double Piston effect seals (DPE). Pressure can be relieved to atmosphere via an external body relief valve.

FEATURES - OVERVIEW

FULL BORE OR REDUCED BORE

Full bore and reduced bore are available in all sizes. Full bore is full through conduit bore size to API 6D to facilitate pigging operations.

SEALANT INJECTION SYSTEM

When the seat and / or stem sealing system is damaged, the grease injection valve can inject sealant into the valve for temporary sealing.

Two O-rings are utilised in the stem area for reliable performance, as well as a graphite fireseal. STEM SEALING SYSTEM

Under normal circumstances Australian Pipeline Valve valves require no lubrication.

FLEXIBLE OPERATION

The seat and stem bearing has a Teflon coating which is low friction and self-lubricates to reduce the valve operation torque.

OPERATORS

The valve may be operated by hand, pneumatic operator, motor, hydro-pneumatic operator and hydraulic operator, etc.

Stem extensions for underground service applications can also be fitted.

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.

The P-T rating is not only governed by the body material, but is further defined by the material of seat, packing and gasket. The selection of sealing material is dependant upon the medium passing through valve, valve working temperature, pressure and velocity of flow. As the P-T rating varies according to different valve working conditions, the following P-T rating value is calculated assuming stable valve working condition.

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.
