Date: 2018.09.10   Views: 1148

INSTRUCTION OPERATION MANUAL FOR FLOATING SPLIT BODY BALL VALVES

1. Forewords

1.1.  The valves described in this manual have been designed to block the flow for ON/OFF service only. Do not use the valve for flow control neither in partly open nor for throttling service to avoid damage on the sealing surfaces.

As a type of pressure equipment, valve has potential hazards of pressure and creation of explosive atmosphere resulting from leakage of process fluid. For the safety purpose, user shall read this instruction to know what TSV has already taken into account in our design and manufacture, and what action shall be taken by user according to essential health and safety requirements.

2. Essential health & safety requirements and solution

2.1 What’s TSV design idea

- Ball valve is designed to API 608, valve has adequate strength according to ASME B16.34  pressure temperature rating.

- Valve is designed with fire-safety structure certified in accordance with API 607.

- Valve contains no light metal (such as Mg) and all parts are electricity conductive and connected to prevent ignite resource.

- Valve is designed with hand wheel, or gear operator or electric actuator according to its size and torque, and operation requirements.

2.2 What action user shall take

2.2.1General 2.2.1.1In any occurrence, first ensure personnel safety.

2.2.1.2 Use the valves in accordance with ASME B16.34 pressure-temperature rating.

2.2.1.3 Make sure that the selected valve materials are corrosion/wear resistance to the service fluid.

2.2.1.4 Where the service fluid is flammable/explosive, to limit the working temperature.

2.2.1.5 When performing Repair/maintenance operations, make sure that the valves are always depressurized, vented and drained.

2.2.1.6 For actuator operated valves, make sure all supply lines (Electrical, hydraulic, Air) are disconnected before starting any operation.

2.2.1.7 When performing Repair/maintenance operations, always use appropriate protection e.g. protective clothing, (oxygen) masks, gloves, etc.

2.2.1.8 When performing Repair/maintenance operations, do not smoke, do not use any portable no-Ex-proof electrical device in the area and do not use open fire without a valid work permit.

 2.2.1.9 Valve must periodically checked on:

- Tightness of bolted connection (body/closure, gland, flange connection).

- Corrosion/wear damages (crack, pitting, thickness of the valve).

- Make sure the valves are in fully open/fully closed position.

3. Alert by means of warning signs about risk of burns

4. For Cryogenic service use only valves equipped with Cryogenic Extension

Fire or explosion in case of service with

flammable fluids

1. See2.2.1General

2. Install only Ex-proof electrical devices in the area

3. While performing maintenance in the area, shut down all electrical devices

Explosion in case of oxygen service

1. See2.2.1General

2. Install only Ex-proof electrical devices in the area

3. Install and use only valves completely degreased

4. Use valves only made with materials suitable for oxygen service

* Dangerous service fluid as there are: Toxic-, Corrosive-, Flammable-, High- or Low temperature etc. fluid

4.2 Working Principle

The function of the ball valve is to cut off or put through the pipeline. When the ball drove by the wrench or other actuator, it rotates and the bore of ball superposition/perpendicular with the bore of body, the valve opens/closes.

4.3 Structure Description

4.3.1 This series uses packing seal structure. PTFE or NYLON is used as the seat ring material, PTFE or GRAPHITE is used as the stem packing material.        

4.3.2 In the event of fire, when all the soft seals are damaged, ball valve have post-fire metal-to metal contact of all sealing areas such as:

Contact between ball and body;

Contact between stem and body;

Contact between coupling flanges of split body.

4.3.3 This series uses packing seal structure. PTFE or NYLON is used as the seat ring material, PTFE or GRAPHITE is used as the stem packing material. 

4.3.4 Double “D” stem head design provides mounting of the lever handle always in parallel to the flow passage. Misalignment of the handle is thus presented.

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