1.2 IDENTIFICATION PLATE

It is forbidden to modify the information and the marks without
previous written authorization by BIFFI Italia S.r.l.
The plate fastened on the actuator contains the following information
(Figure1).
Figura 1 – Data plate

1.3 INTRODUCING THE ACTUATOR
The gas hydraulic GPO actuator is designed for use in heavy
industry, chemical and petrochemical systems. It is used for the
operation of quarter turn rotation valves installed on gas
transportation and distribution lines.
The GPO actuator (Figure 2) is composed of a double effect
hydraulic cylinder (or two) that, pressurized, determines the linear
motion of the piston contained in it.
The linear motion of the piston is transformed into rotation by a yoke
scotch motion.
Gas sampled by the line, pressurises oil contained in one of the two
gas-hydraulic tanks and then the one of the cylinder determining the
drive of the actuator.
A peculiar feature of GPO actuator is its great flexibility of use
obtained by the choice of a manufacturing solution easy, solid and
without parts in motion.
1.4 DATA SHEET

2 Installation
2.1 CHECKS UPON ACTUATOR RECEIPT
Check that the model, the serial number of the actuator and the
technical data reported on the identification plate correspond with
those of order confirmation (Sect. 1.2).
Check that the actuator is equipped with the fittings as provided
for by order confirmation.
Check that the actuator was not damaged during transportation: if
necessary renovate the painting according to the specification
reported on the order confirmation.
If the actuator is received already assembled with the valve, its
settings have already been made at the factory.
If the actuator is delivered separately from the valve, it is
necessary to check, and, if required, to adjust, the settings of the
mechanical stops (Sect. 3.4) and of microswitches (if any) (Sect.
3.5).
Figure 2 – Identification of actuator parts


!@ç$ flow control
2.2 ACTUATOR HANDLING

The lifting and handling should be made by qualified
staff and in compliance with the laws and provisions
in force.
The fastening points are appropriate for the lifting of

the actuator alone and not for the actuator-valve
assembled.
Avoid that during the handling, the actuator passes
above the staff.
The actuator should be handled with appropriate
lifting means. The weight of the actuator is reported
on the delivery bill.
Picture 1 – Lifting points


!@ç$ flow control
2.2.1 Transportation in horizontal position
The gas-hydraulic GPO actuators should always be kept in

tanks with a vertical axis, in order to avoid that hydraulic oil
contained in the tanks, flows out of them and, flowing
through the pipes that connect the upper connection of
each tank to the support plate of the pneumatic control unit, enters
into the pneumatic valves. The presence of oil in the pneumatic
valves can be harmful both since it can create deposits when it dries;
and because it creates greasiness that can produce the sticking on
the walls of particles contained in the gas, which, accumulating, can
produce scale.
Scale and incrustations, mainly on tightness organs can damage the
proper operation of pneumatic valves. In addition the quantity of oil
that remains in the tanks can be insufficient for actuator operation.
For example, the transportation of the ball valve + extension +
actuator, for overall space requirements, it could be necessary to
place the actuator with the tanks with horizontal axis.
In this case, to avoid that hydraulic oil contained in the tanks flows
out, Biffi Italia s.r.l. should stop the connection between upper
connection of the tanks and the pipes connecting them to the support
plate of the pneumatic valves group, with proper plugs .
The staff installing the group on the system should restore the
pneumatic connection between the group of pneumatic valves and
the tanks only when the actuator is installed in the final position with
the tanks with the vertical axis.
To restore the above pneumatic connection it is necessary to release
the pipes from what fastened them temporarily to the tanks, unscrew
the plugs from the connections screwed on the tanks, remove what
was used to close the holes of the pipes.
Firmly screw the nut on the pipe behind the shoulder, on the
connection, paying attention to properly place the shoulder in the
specific conic seat of the connection.
It is very important that the pipe axis, in the part converging inside
the connection, coincides with the axis of the connection.
Check the proper pneumatic tightness of the coupling.

- Assemble exhaust pole on the actuator, and connect tube to
connection I-1.
The pipe ends also have to be protected, to avoid going in of

dirtiness. They have also to be fixed (for ex. by proper adhesive
tape) to avoid damage during the transport.


!@ç$ flow control
2.2.2 Procedure to follow if oil leaks from the tanks into the
pneumatic valves
If the actuator tanks are kept in horizontal axis by mistake,

and the oil inside them enters into the pneumatic
connection pipes and in the control pneumatic valves, it is
necessary to wash with dry air the interior of valves and
pipes.
To this end connect an air or a dry nitrogen supply to the threaded
hole of actuator supply and disconnect the pipes that connect the
support plate of control valves to the tanks.
Then operate the valves so that the air flow removes oil, air should
go out from the ends of the pipes so to clean properly also their
interior.
This operation should be made as soon as possible after the
inconvenience of oil spill.
2.3 STORAGE
If the actuator needs storage, before installation follow these steps:
Place it on a wood surface in order not to deteriorate the area of
valve coupling.
Make sure that plastic plugs are present on the pneumatic and
electrical connections (if present).
Check that the cover of the control group and of the micro box (if
any) are properly closed.
If the storage is long-term or outdoor:
Keep the actuator protected from direct weather conditions.
Replace plastic plugs of pneumatic and electrical connections (if
any) with metal plugs that guarantee perfect tightness.
Coat with oil, grease or protection disc, the valve coupling area.
Periodically operate the actuator (Sect. 3.3).
2.4 ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ON THE VALVE

2.4.1 Types of assembly
Biffi actuators, according to the kind of valve stem or on specific
demand of the valve producer, can be fastened on the valves, with
the following modes:
Type A – Direct coupling
( see attached SCN6200 - SCN6201- SCN6201/1 )
On actuator guard a hole matches the one of the flange-surface of
the valve. The actuator is directly fastened on valve stem, anchored
to the flange-surface through special yokes (on demand).


!@ç$ flow control


!@ç$ flow control


!@ç$ flow control
Type B – Insert bush + intermediate flange coupling ( figure 3 )

Between valve and actuator an “intermediate adjustment flange” and
an “insert bush” are designed, according to how the latter is inserted
on the stem-valve, makes possible 4 positions of actuator assembly
90° one from the other on the perpendicular surface with respect to
the axis stem-valve. Fasten on the flange surface of the valve the
intermediate adjustment flange and then the actuator with special
yokes (on demand).

Figure 3 – Insert bush + intermediate flange coupling


!@ç$ flow control
Type Insert coupling + stub
To adjust the stem-valve to the actuator yoke a “sleeve insert” is
used, which, properly adjusted, allows 4 positions of actuator
assembly at 90° on the perpendicular surface with respect to the axis
of the stem-valve. With respect to the “bush insert” the one “with the
sleeve” has a greater stroke from the base of the guard, so a simple
“adjustment flange” is not sufficient, a “stub” is needed to guarantee
a stable fastening. It occurs through specific yokes (on demand) that
fasten “flange surface-valve” and “stub” on one side and actuator and
“stub” on the other side.
2.4.2 Assembly procedure
Failure to comply with the following procedures may

impair product warranty.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance and

repair works should be carried out by qualified staff.
A non-conforming assembly could be the source of
serious accidents.
For actuator assembly on the valve:
Check that the assembly position, as shown on the

documentation, complies with system’s geometry.
Check the consistency of the parts of actuator-valve
coupling.
Operate the actuator so that it reaches the position matching

valve position (Section 3.3).
Lubricate valve stem with oil or grease.
Properly clean and remove grease from coupling flange surfaces.
Connect, if supplied separately, the adjustment insert to valve
stem and fasten it with the special fastening pins.
Lift the actuator using the special lifting points (Sect. 2.2).
Install the actuator so that valve stem inserts in the coupling area.
This coupling should be made without forcing.
Fasten the two parts with the threaded connections (screws, tie
rods, nuts). If holes of coupling flanges are not aligned,
adequately operate the actuator if necessary move the
mechanical stops backwards (Sect. 3.4).
Fasten threaded connections. Please refer to Table 1.

3 Operation and use

3.1 OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The supply gas pressurises oil contained in the gas-hydraulic tank in
charge of the operation to carry out (opening or closing) (Figure 6).
Oil, through one of the flow regulating valves placed under the tanks
(Picture 4), arrives to the manual hydraulic control group and
pressurises a chamber of the cylinder: this determines the linear
motion of the piston and the consequent rotation motion of the scocth
yoke, to which the valve stem is coupled.
Oil, discharged from the chamber of the cylinder, flows in the second
tank going through the manual hydraulic control group and the
regulation valve placed below it, that regulates the duration of the
operation being carried out (Sect. 3.6).
Gas contained in the tank is discharged.
When the operation is over, the pressurised gas left, is discharged
through the valves placed in the control group. This allows having the
actuator always free from pressure except during the execution of the
operation.

4 Maintenance
Before executing any maintenance operation, it is
necessary to intercept the pneumatic supply line and
discharge pressure from the cylinder of the actuator,
from the control unit and from the accumulation tank (
if any).
Installation, commissioning and maintenance and

repair works should be carried out by qualified staff.
4.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

GPO actuators are designed to operate long-term in heavy-duty
operating conditions, without maintenance needs.
Periodicity and regularity of inspections is

particularly influenced by specific environmental and
working conditions.
They can be initially determined experimentally and

then be improved according to actual maintenance
conditions and needs.
Anyway every 2 years of operation the following is recommended:
Check that the actuator properly operates the valve.
Check there are no hydraulic or pneumatic leakages.
Check oil level (Pict. 13)
Check the actuators did not undergo accidental damage with oil
leakages found on site (Sect. 4.1.1).
Check that improper closing of the lid of the control group did not
produce the presence of condensation on it.
Check the integrity of worn out parts (gaskets, pads etc.).
Replace, if any, the filter cartridge of the supply gas.
Picture 13 – Level measuring stick
4.1.1 Check and restore oil level in the gas-hydraulic tanks
Bring actuator in position of complete opening or closing.

Wait for a few minutes before checking.


!@ç$ flow control
Check oil level with the special level sticks placed on top of gas-
hydraulic tanks (Pict. 13).
Add oil (Table 2) if in one tanks the level is BELOW MINIMUM and
at the same time in the other tank it is BELOW MAXIMUM (Picture
12).
Oil level should not be ABOVE MINIMUM in one tank

and at the same time ABOVE MAXIMUM in the other
one.
If in one tank level is BELOW MINIMUM and at the same time in the
other tank it is ABOVE MAXIMUM or the other way round there is an
unbalance of oil levels in the tanks. In this case follow these steps:
Bring actuator to half angular stroke - 45°.
Position distributor in “by-pass”.
use the lever of the hydraulic pump to balance the levels.
Check that the level is restored with the special measuring sticks.
Bring distributor back to previous position.
Do not leave the distributor in the By-Pass position.

Remove the O-ring (19), the tightness ring of the piston (9)and the
guide ring (8) from their slots in the piston.
Properly clean the seat of the guide ring (8) and lubricate it with a lot
of grease so that it keeps the ring in its place at the moment in which
the rod is put back in place.
Properly clean the seat of the ’O-ring (19) and lubricate it with
protective oil or with a layer of grease.
Install a new O-ring (19) and the ring of the piston (9) in their seats
and lubricate them again.
Properly clean the interior of the rod (12) and check accurately the
surface is intact.
Lubricate the internal surface of the rod and the inlet chamfers.
Insert the rod on the piston of around half its length, paying attention
not to damage the O-ring (19). During this operation the guide ring
of the piston, passing, removes the grease from the rod surface: so
lubrication should be carried out.
Complete the axial motion of the rod until the head flange (2) of the
cylinder is reached paying attention not to damage the O-ring (3).
Carry out a few operations (Sect. 3.3) to check there

are no leakages from the gaskets.

4.3 DISMANTLING AND DEMOLITION

Before disassembling the actuator it is necessary to
intercept the pneumatic supply line and discharge
pressure from the cylinder of the actuator, from the
control unit and from the accumulation tank, if
present.
The demolition of the actuator both concerning any
electrical and mechanical parts should be made by
specialized staff
Before starting the disassembly a large area should be created

around the actuator so to allow any kind of movement without
problems of further risks created by the environment.
Separate the parts composing the actuator according to their nature

(ex. metallic, and plastic materials, fluids etc.) and send them to
differentiated waste collection sites, as provided for by the laws and
provisions in force.

Pipeline pressure drop speed (LBS control signal) 1,0 to 6 g/cm2/min.
2 LINE BREAK SYSTEM WORKING

PRINCIPLE
The Biffi Line Break System (LBS) for the automatic valve closing in
case of pipeline partial or total breaking, is based on the principle to
detect the pressure drop rate (DP/Dt) by measuring (LBD) the
pressure difference between the reference piston accumulator (A)
and the pipeline, being the reference accumulator connected to the
line through a calibrated orifice (O).
The LBS is designed by Biffi to work also with dusty and dirty gas
being the equipment full of special liquid completely segregated by
means of a piston separator (S).
The higher is the pressure drop rate in the pipeline, the smaller is the
diameter of the orifice, the higher is the pressure difference
measured by the diaphragm device (LBD).


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
After the starting of the pressure drop in the pipeline the difference
between accumulator pressure and pipeline pressure value start to
increase from zero to a maximum value. The value and the time
needed to reach this maximum value is a function of the orifice
diameter.
The following figure s hows the differential pressure value curves

as a function of time for two orifice diameters.

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the pipeline pressure raises, the oil of the separator (27) flows
through the check valve (624) to the spring accumulator (30)
compressing the spring up to the position correspondent to the new
pressure value.
On the contrary, when the pipeline pressure drops, the check valve
(624) remains closed and the oil is forced to pass through the
selected orifice (275) only: in this way the pressure in the spring
accumulator(30) remains higher than the pressure in the pipeline.
The pipeline and the spring accumulator are connected to the two
chambers of the diaphragm valve (748) and the differential pressure
acts on its diaphragm.
The higher is the pressure drop rate, the higher is the differential
pressure.
When the differential pressure exceeds the set value of the valve
(748) this trips and a pressure signal comes out. The differential
pressure set point value of valve (748) is adjustable by the setting of
its return spring.


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
The pressure signal coming from the diaphragm valve is sent to the
pilot of the 3/2 valve (679) which trips, the supply line gas flows
through the shuttle valve (629) to the actuator, allowing the closing
operation of the pipeline valve.
The differential pressure device (748) is fitted with an adjustable

orifice to delay the exhausting of the command signal, in order to
allow to complete the actuator closing operation.
The line break system is fitted with a manifold, that has two orifices
with a stop valve in series (601 C), that allows to put the orifice in
service.


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
4 LINE BREAK SYSTEM SETTING

To set the Line Break System, it is necessary to know the working
condition of the pipeline:
value of the minimum pressure drop rate, measured in the portion of

the pipeline where the valve is installed, in case of pipeline breaking;
value of the maximum pressure drop rate, measured in the portion of

the pipeline where the valve is installed, during normal operation;
The device setting must be carried out, so as to avoid the

intervention of the LBS for all the pressure drop rate which can occur
during the normal pipeline operation but, on the contrary, to assure
its intervention for all the pressure drop rates caused by the pipeline
breaking.
Note: the variations of pipeline pressure, gas and ambient

temperature values generate insignificant differential pressure
value changes. Furthermore the calibration of the LBS is made at
5 MPa and the positioning of the pressure drop rate label is
performed at 1.4 bar/min for ORIFICE 1 , 3.1 bar/min for
ORIFICE 2 and 5.1 bar/min for ORIFICE 3.
After having chosen the suitable pressure drop rate value it is

necessary to select the proper orifice number.
The manifold reports the numbering of the two orifices as follow:
ORIFICE N° 1
speed drop rate from 0,9 bar/min to 2 bar/min


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
ORIFICE N° 2
speed drop rate from 2 bar/min to 4 bar/min
ORIFICE N° 3
speed drop rate from 3,5 bar/min to 6 bar/min


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
The setting of the LBS is consisting of :
1-selection of the suitable orifice opening (turning anticlockwise by

means a screwdriver) the stop valve of the relevant orifice. The figure
shows the “ORIFICE 1” selected open and the “ORIFICE 2” close;
Note: The differential pressure device is fitted with three labels that
show the pressure drop rate (bar/min) relevant to “ORIFICE 1” ,
“ORIFICE 2” and “ORIFICE 3”.
2- unloose the locknut and turn the

adjusting screw in order to
position the pressure drop rate
indicator at the position
correspondent to the pressure
drop rate value.
3- lock the locknut avoiding to

move the position of the
indicator
The figure shows the setting of the trip point for a pressure drop rate value of 1,25
bar/min relevant to the “ORIFICE 1”

The pressure drop rate of the pipeline generates several curves for
each orifice in the Line Break System.

5 LINE BREAK SYSTEM SETTING

VERIFICATION
The check of device working and setting are carried out at the Biffi
test department and the test certificate is supplied with the LBS.
5.1 5.1- SIMULATION TEST
If it is required to check on site the good working of the LBS, that

means to check that the device controls send a signal to control the
valve closing operation when the pipeline pressure drops with a rate
higher than the value fixed for the device setting, a line break
simulator unit, can be used.
The unit is consisting of:

accumulator reservoir (R)
pressure drop rate orifice (O)
relief valve (35)
pressure gauge* (D)
(*pressure gauge will be substituted
by Pressure transducer with display.)
inlet stop valve (T1)
pressure drop starting valve (T2)
The check on site is done using

the pipeline gas at maximum 2,5
Mpa. Higher pressure value could
causes freezing problem on the
pressure drop rate orifice.
If the test is done in the factory with

compressed air the pressure value
could be increased up to 5 Mpa.
The procedure to verify the LBS setting is as follow:
1) Close the stop valve (999 E) in order to avoid to send a line break
signal during testing;
2) open the by-pass valve (601 D);
3) close stop valve (601 B)
4) discharge the pressure from the vent valve of the mechanical filter
(608)
5) install the line break simulator unit as indicated in the figure;
6) open the stop valve (601 B)
7) open the stop valve (T1) and fill the reservoir up to 2,5 Mpa;

LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
8) adjust the pressure drop rate orifice (O) in order to realise a required
pressure drop rate;
9) close the by-pass valve (601 D)
10) open the pressure drop starting valve (T2) and simultaneously start
a stop watch and measure the pressure drop for two minutes (the
pressure drop rate must be an average of two min.);
if the check is relevant to “ORIFICE 1” the measure of the time must
continue for a minimum of 200 sec, and the trip point must happen
between 150 to 190 sec from pressure drop starting;


LIQUID LINE BREAK
!@ç$ flow control
if the check is relevant to “ORIFICE 2” the trip point must happen

between 60 to 90 sec;
if the check is relevant to “ORIFICE 3” the trip point must happen
between 30 to 60 sec
Note: the trip point is visible by watching the pressure gauge (999 D)
which starts indicating the supply pressure value as soon as the
LBS has tripped.
When the pressure drop rate decreases the differential pressure

device (748) exhaust the signal consequently the pressure indication
of the pressure gauge starts to decrease, according to the setting of
the exhaust flow regulator (280).
5.2 SIGNAL EXHAUST DELAY VERIFICATION
The modification of the exhaust time is performed in the following

way:
1- unloose the locknut (2)

2- turn clockwise the needle in order to increase the exhaust time
3- lock the locknut and verify the exhaust time performing another
line break simulation test.

6.2 HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL VERIFICATION
The LBS is fitted with a piston separator,

which avoid that the pipeline gas could
contaminate the liquid used to generate
the differential pressure.
The piston separator moves following the

top level of the fluid. This piston is fitted
with a filling pipe level indicator in order to
check the status of the fluid content.
The fluid content allow the LBS to work at

10 Mpa. At 7,5 MPA the LBS has 120%
security spare fluid quantity.
If the pipeline maximum working pressure
is lower than 7,5 Mpa the quantity spare
fluid is proportionally bigger.
Note: the LBS fluid is very volatile. If

necessary to drain the fluid the procedure
is as follow:
1) close stop valve (601 B)
2) discharge the pressure from the
vent valve of the separator (29)
3) Remove the protection cover, and the transparent pipe of the
level indicator;
4) open the plug marked with (+);
5) take the fluid by a clean container that can be hermetically
sealed; to facilitate the drain operation push by hand on the level
indicator pipe or remove the cup indicator.
