TO CONTENTS
1.2 PARALLEL SLIDE VALVES
1.2.1 Definition:
A valve in which the gate consists of one or two disks, without spreading mechanism,
which slide between parallel body seats, effective closure being obtained by the pressure
of the fluid forcing the down stream disk face against its mating body seat.
1.2.3.1 Valves should be fitted with integral by passes which may be double
valved for high integrity.
SHEET
ADMA-OPCO CP - 105 18 OF 38
1.3 DOUBLE DISC VALVES TO CONTENTS
1.3.1 Definition:
A valve in which the gate consists of two disks, which are forced apart by a
spreading mechanism at the point of closure against both parallel body seats, thus
ensuring an effective sealing of the valve without the assistance of the fluid
pressure.
1.3.4.1 Valves shall be used for high pressure service. i.e. PN 100 (class
600) and above.
1.3.4.2 These valves are pressure balanced for ease of operation and are to
be used where the differential pressure across the gate is high
i.e. 34 bar (500 PSI) and above.

each other and in which the axis of the stem is at right angles to that of the body
ends.

SHEET
ADMA-OPCO CP - 105 20 OF 38
TO CONTENTS
3. PLUG VALVES
3 .1 Definition:

ports relative to the body seat ports to control the flow of fluid and which
incorporates design features which reduce the friction between the plug face and
the body seat during turning of the plug and/or seal them against leakage.
API Spec 6D

parts relative to the body seat parts to control the flow of fluid.
4.3.1 Valves should be full bore pattern, reduced bore may be accepted as
applicable.
4.3.2 Valves shall be trunnion mounted ball type for Sizes 50 mm (2") and
above, however floating mounted type may be accepted for- valves

4.4 Practices & Recommendations
4.4.1 Ball valves are preferable type for LPG duties except in the case of
manual regulation or sampling is required.
4.4.2 Valves are particularly well suited for Service with Slurries and fluidized
solids.
4.4.4 Valves with pure PTFE seals should not be used in service greater than
205°C.
4.4.5 Valves are suitable for most on-off hydrocarbon or utilities service
between -28°C and 82°C, application above 82°C should be carefully
considered due to the temp limitation of the soft sealing material.
4.4.6 Valves are not recommended for throttling, because in the partially open
position, sealing surfaces on the exterior of the ball are exposed to
abrasion by process fluids
SHEET
ADMA-OPCO CP - 105 23 OF 38
TO CONTENTS
5. BUTTERFLY VALVES
5.1 DEFINITION
A valve in which a disk is turned substantially through 90° from the closed to the
open position, on an axis transverse to that of the valve ports.
5.3.3 Flanged ends 650 mm (26") up to 1200 mm (48") shall be raised face to
BS 3293.
5.3.4 Flanged ends above 1200 mm (48") should be raised face to BS 4504
(sec 1.11).
5.3.5 Valves for salt water duties shall have vulcanised rubber linings and
monel shafts.
5.3.6 In Offshore services handles with detents should be provided because low
torque requirements permit valves to vibrate open.
5.4.1 Butterfly valves are not recommended for tight seal service.
5.4.2 Where a tight seal is required these valves should be limited to low
pressure, low temperature (13 bar G, 65°C) water service.
5.4.3 Butterfly valves are suitable for flow control application in water service
and other application where a tight shut-off is not required.

6. CHECK VALVES
6.1 Definition
A valve which prevents reversal of flow by means of the check mechanism, the
valve being opened by the flow of fluid and closed by the weight of the check
mechanism when the flow ceases, by back pressure or by springs.
Coverage (N. sizes): 40mm (1 1/2") and 50mm (2") and above
below as applicable
6.3.1 Check valves should normally be swing, or lift (piston, ball and disk)
types
6.3.3 Valves 50 mm (2") and above shall preferably be full open swing check
type.

ADMA-OPCO CP - 105 25 OF 38
TO CONTENTS
6.4 Practices & Recommendations
6.4.1 In discharge line between the block valves and pumps or compressors of
centrifugal and rotary types.
N.B Special arrangements are required in certain H.P. system e.g. two pumps
in series and feed into a system containing vapor.
6.4.3 Swing type check valves are suitable for horizontal and vertical upwards
flows.
6.4.4 A full opening swing check valve is suitable for most non pulsating
application.
6.4.5 Swing check valve can be used in vertical pipe runs (with flow in the
upward direction) only if a stop is included to prevent the clapper from
opening past top-dead centre.
6.4.6 Swing check valve is not recommended for pulsating flow or low flow
velocities.
6.4.7 Lift plug check valves should only be used in small, high pressure lines
handling clean fluids, it can be used for horizontal or vertical lines, but the
two are not interchangeable.
6.4.8 Piston type check valves are suitable for horizontal mounting only. They
shall be specified where frequent changes of direction of flow occurs.
6.4.9 Piston check valves are recommended for pulsating flow, such as
reciprocating compressor or pump discharge line.
6.4.10 Ball check valves are preferable in 50 mm (2") or smaller for clean service
that have frequent flow reversals.
