Description

The increased activity in the offshore sector of the energy industry has led to additional factors that have to be taken into consideration when designing piping systems. Space in these modern locations is always at a premium and the design of piping systems and their associated components must therefore be more compact. There are structural constraints that are also very important, such as keeping the structure as light as possible, and there are obvious benefits from making components smaller and lighter. Construction site job is also very expensive and any reduction in installation manpower is also beneficial. The above situation has led to the modification of the patterns of valve components to incorporate savings in space, weight, and labor costs where possible, while still retaining the original function of the valve.

The greatest savings are to be seen in the reduction of leak to atmosphere because the potential leak points are minimized compared to the conventional design. Process isolation philosophy has become more complex as safety issues have to be addressed and the requirement for double block and bleed isolation has become more commonly used. Double Block and Bleed isolation requires two in-line isolation valves and a bleed valve, used to drain or vent trapped fluid between the two closure elements

Features

Live Loaded Gland Packing

Graphite Packing are provided as standard taking care of Fire Safe Design Condition. Belleville Springs Washers are used to achieve live loading which protects Gland loosening under vibrations & shock conditions.

Double 'D' Stem to Lever Connection

Stems are Designed to have Double 'D' Connection at the top for Lever Fixing. This feature eliminates possibility of Lever Assembly in the wrong direction as the Lever indicates the Valve Position once installed on the line.

Equalized Cavity Pressure

The Pressure equalization hole at the top of the Ball combined with Seat Design are Engineered to maintain the Pressure balance in the line & in the Body Cavity irrespective of Valve Position

Antistatic Device

To ensure Electrical Continuity between the Stem and Ball and Body all Valves are provided with Antistatic device as an integral part of Floating Ball Valves.

Blow Out Proof Stem

Stem is Designed to include a collar to provide protection against Blow Outs.

Locking Device

Locking devices are provided on all Valves with both Lever Operator ad Gear Operator.
