EMERGENCY SEALANT INJECTION ON TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVES
November 8th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
Be careful with trunnion mounted ball valves 100mm (4”) and under and in reduced bore 150mm (6”) and under as many manufacturers cannot put a sealant injection directly onto each seat such as in the photo shown above (RHS). They can only fit a sealant injection to the middle of the body (photo LHS). Consequently […]

API6D, Testing Procedure & Double Block & Bleed versus Double Isolation & Bleed
September 13th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
The API6D test for a factory tested ball valve in regard to seat leakage only requires seat leakage to pass test on the second seat on the other end of the valve in both directions. There is not a mandatory double block and bleed cavity drain test requirement unless especially requested by the customer. Consequently, […]
Differencies between ISO 15848 and TA-Luft
September 6th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
TA-Luft TA-Luft only deals with stem sealing area. Also, no third party witness is needed. The TA-Luft test qualifies only a “high-quality sealing system”. TA-Luft is considered to be complied with if metal bellows with a safety energised packing or similar sealing systems are used; as per VDI 2440. TA-Luft does not specify the number […]

Updated API Trim Chart & Applications
August 23rd, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
The API600 trim chart specifications are designed for API600 gate valves. For API603 gate valves as well as globe valves and check valves, the same trim numbers are more loosely applied (Trim Chart not referenced in latest API603 Standard). Obviously, in regard to globe and check valve, the hardness differentials shown on the disc and […]

Automatic valve repositioning is a convenience and safety feature for […]
Explosive decompression of o-rings in trunnion ball valves
August 9th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
Many manufacturers and operators in the oil and gas industry have leakage problems with elastomer seals, especially when a drop in pressure takes place. This primarily occurs in sealings which create a barrier against gaseous media if highly pressurised gas falls to a very low pressure level within a very short period of time. The […]

In Europe there was Borsig (Germany) and TK (Scotland), not long after in the early 70’s came BC Richards Australia (who also made […]
Tip of the day – 90 degree orientated Gate Valves
July 6th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
Cast steel API 600/ API 603, mass produced Wedge Gate valves and inline, cast globe valves will not necessarily always function properly on a 90 or 45 degree angle which is common practice in refineries. Forged Gate & Globe valves up to 50NB always seal properly but don’t install them in a position where the […]
