Process connection of self-acting regulators shall be flanged, with Raised-Face (RF).

The use of Flat-face flanges is not acceptable.
In applications where a large pressure drop ratio is required, such as for blanketing or
purging service, the use of a single in-line regulator is preferred: the use of multiple
regulator in series shall be avoided wherever possible.
Material of construction shall be as specified on data sheets for self acting regulators.
4.2.3 Globe Valves
Globe valves may be used on low differential pressure service and can not be used in
Fibrous Slurry liquid.
The size of globe valve body shall not be less than one size smaller than its associated
pipe. Reduced trim shall be utilized should further capacity reduction be deemed
necessary.
4.2.4 Failure Action
The valve failure position stated in the Data Sheets shall be achieved in the
valve/actuator design. Fail locked systems shall have a defined drift position.
4.3 Valve Sizing and Characteristics Requirements

Control valves shall normally be sized in accordance with ANSI/ISA S75.01 for the rates
of flow and pressure drops at design conditions. The vendor shall be responsible for
sizing all control valves and shall submit calculations for approval, prior to
manufacture.
In general, an equal percentage control valve characteristic will be expected.
However, a linear characteristic shall be used where two control valves are operating
in split-range service or where the control valve pressure drop remains substantially
constant over the range of 10% to 100% of flow capacity.

4.3.1 Sizing Criteria

Control valves shall be sized in accordance with manufacturer's calculation

methods, and shall included all specific factors, such as critical coefficients,
recovery coefficient, viscosity corrections, etc.
If maximum process flow is specified, that valve selection shall be such that
the following valve openings are not exceeded at that flow:
- Globe, linear trim : 85%
- Globe, equal percentage trim : 90%

- Globe, quick opening trim : 80%

If normal process flow only is given, then valve selection shall be such that
the following valve openings to achieve this flow are not exceeded at that
flow:
- Globe, linear trim : 70%75%
- Globe, equal percentage trim : 80%
- Globe, quick opening trim : 70%
Valve opening for minimum process flow shall not be less that 20%15%
20%1 of
maximum valve opening.
Valve required to control surge shall be sized for 110% of maximum flow,
and shall be consistent with criteria specified above. Valves in this
application shall incorporate a booster for quick response.
Sizing pressure drop through a control valve will be selected so that, except
for purposely designed choke valves, or on-off service, choked flow does
not occur, and the valve is able to control the required flow throughout its
range. Where the required pressure drop is greater than that provided by
the valve under control, a suitably sized restriction orifice may be installed
downstream of the control valve in order to account for the additional
pressure drop required.
Control valves sizing pressure drops, with the exception of valves outlined
above, shall, wherever possible, be in accordance with the following
guidelines:

System Sizing Pressure Drop

a. Pump circuits The greater of 25% of system drop or 1.0
bar
b. Centrif. Compressor The greater of 33% of system drop or 5% of
Discharge absolute suction pressure or
0.7 bar
c. Non-flashing liquids, free The greater of 33% of system drop or 10%
flowing to lower pressure of absolute pressure of
system receiver system
d. Flashing liquids or mixtures The greater of 5% of absolute pressure at
valve inlet or 0.4 bar or
minimum pressure drop
required for efficient
operation of valve

e. De-oiling Hydrocyclone As low as possible

reject stream

4.3.2 Valve Sizes

The minimum size of process control valve body shall be 1".

Non-standard sizes, such as 1 1/4", 2 1/2" and 5" shall not be used.
Body size reduction from line size shall be in accordance with requirements
outlined in section 4.2 herein.
4.3.3 Process connections

All control valves shall be flanged.

The
e minimum ANSI flange rating for control valves shall be 300#.Flanged
connections should be RF for the rating less than 1500#, and RTJ fpr 1500#
and higher.
The use of flat-face flanges is not acceptable.
4.3.4 Body Rating and Pressure classification

Under no circumstances shall the valve body or connection rating be less

than the applicable piping specification.
Low cv values shall be achieved using reduced trim.
4.3.5 Turndown and Split Ranges
The turndown for any control valve shall not be outside the limits specified above.
Should process conditions require valve capacity or rangeability outside those limits,
then two control valve shall be installed in parallel, in accordance with the following
criteria:

Where high rangeability is required, then

- One valve shall be sized so as the minimum process flow is selected as its
normal sizing criteria per the above.
- The other valve shall be sized for the maximum process flow in
accordance with the above.
Where high capacity is required, which cannot be handled by a single valve,
that the multiple control valves shall be selected so as to split the flow
equally between them.
Control signal to 2 valves in parallel for high rangeability described above
shall be split-range in the ICSS with each valve receieving a full 4 to 20 mA
signal.
