ISO 5211/MSS SP-101 Mount Flange Dimension Comparison
July 24th, 2023 by Amanda Schumann
Valve, gearbox & actuator manufacturers often refer to obsolete/superseded mount pad drilling standards. Some derive from old USA standards that were not carried forward onto MSS SP-101. Some are metricated versions of MSS SP-101 which were never adopted by ISO 5211 but never the less, are in use. This comparison guide attached allows manufacturers, suppliers & […]

Self Relieving vs Double Piston Effect Seals on Ball Valves
December 20th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
API6D trunnion mounted ball valves with single piston effect seats (SPE) are designed to automatically release cavity over-pressure into the pipeline automatically using “self relieving seats”. Since body cavity and pipeline are isolated in the fully open and fully closed position, pressure trapped in the body cavity may be different than pressure in the line. […]

Consider ENP Trim Ball Valve where 316 trim is specified
May 10th, 2017 by Amanda Schumann
In floating ball valves 316 (CF8M ball) trim is the standard because under 150mm there is only a minimal cost advantage using ENP trim in 150/300 class as the ball wall thickness is not large and the balls are mass produced keeping the costs down. However, in the trunnion mounted arena 316 trim is utilised […]
