Special Features & Benefits
Pressure-seal Gate Valve design conforms to ASME B 16.34.
The design was successfully validated by conducting in-house High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Gas Tests on ultra-high pressure valve prototypes.
Flow Interruption Test successfully conducted on 8″ Class 600 Pressure-seal Gate Valve suitable for Main Stream Isolation Valve (MSIV) service in nuclear power plants – at Areva, Germany.
Fugitive Emission – 14″ Class 2500 Pressure-seal Gate Valve (test pressure of 431 bar at ambient and 289 bar at 400 degree C) has been tested successfully as per ISO 15848-1, endurance Class CO2 and Tightness Class BH
CE Marking – Meets requirements of Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, Annexure III, Module H
Atex – Meets requirements of Atex Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), category 2 non-electrical equipment
SIL3 Safety Integrity Level for Automated Valves
Pressure-seal Gate Valves (up to Class 2500) used in Oil & Gas industry tested to ISO 15848-1 Class BH
Pressure-seal Gate Valves successfully tested to Shell Design Validation Test 77/300 and witnessed by Shell Inspectors
Valves in intermediate classes reduce total cost of ownership
Pressure-Seal mechanism utilizes line pressure to enhance seal; ensures sealing integrity at higher operating pressures.
Higher hardfacing thickness (3 mm) to ensure consistent hot hardness
Disc guides hardfaced for longer life
Customised deposition process in F91/ C12A valves to avoid delamination of hardfaced surfaces
Live loading of bonnet bolts for F91/ C12A valves
Special high purity graphite packing (seven rings) provided for pressure rating > Class 2500 in Power applications
Live loading of bonnet bolts and gland bolts for all valves in F91/ C12A construction
