Material certification for pressure
containing components. General Applications
Ideally suited for pipeline installations,
gas production, pressure regulating
and metering stations, FVO/LVO and
platform duties, petroleum,
petrochemical and allied industries.
With conventional floating ball designs, the upstream pressure forces the closed
ball to move onto the downstream seat. The resulting torque is a factor of load and
friction between the ball and seat surfaces. The break to open torque is increased
significantly with an increasing differential pressure and/or an increase in the size
of the valve seating area. As the size or the differential pressure increase it
becomes increasingly difficult to operate the valve due to the torque generated by
pressure.
Trunnion design ball valves alleviate this problem by ensuring that the ball is fixed
within the valve body, and the seats are energised to the ball. The differential
pressure loading is now distributed to the trunnion plates and bearings, resulting in
smaller seating surface designs and greatly reduced break to open and operating
torque.
When pressure is applied to the upstream side of the ball, the resultant forces are
distributed to the two large diameter trunnion bearings, which are housed in the
trunnion plates. When the valve is in the closed position there is no side loading
being applied to the stem that can result in premature stem and stem seal wear.
The integral trunnion affords a compact, cost effective design. This design also
minimizes the number of potential external leak paths in high pressure valves,by
reducing the requirement for outboard trunnion cover plates.
Trunnion valves are typically used for pipeline, compressor stations and gas
processing plant service; also on oil and petroleum product lines. Obviously seat
integrity is required for these block valve services.
In either the fully closed or open position, with the aide of energised seat design,
the body cavity pressure may be relieved as a means of checking seat integrity. As
the Richards stem drive does not penetrate the bore of the ball, the valve does not
have to be returned to the closed position, which may cause operational problems
for the process. For manifolds that carry several media’s, this can provide a positive
means of product isolation and prevent mixing of product, should seat damage
occur.
Due to the use of integral trunnion bearings, the stem side loading is minimised,
therefore reducing premature wear to the stem seal assembly. The stem seal
arrangement incorporates a multi-step blowout proof stem, complimented with large
contact area PTFE primary seals with o-ring seals. Field replaceable exterior seals
can be serviced with the valve cavity vented and with the actuator or gearbox
removed.
Spring loaded anti-static devices ensure electrical continuity between the ball and
the body.
Should stem seal damage occur in the service, a temporary seal can be effected by
injecting a viscous sealant via the emergency injection assembly. This optional
system is provided for on 150mm valves and larger.
As trunnion valves are used in gas transmission and other critical services,
Richards offer as an option, an emergency seat renewal system. Should seat
damage occur, this enables a viscous sealant backup system to temporarily
maintain a seal until maintenance can be scheduled.
With the Richards design, sizes up to 100mm have the sealant injected directly to
the centre of the body. With larger size valves the sealant is directly injected into
each seat assembly. The sealant is channeled into the seat assembly using a high
pressure pump. The sealant is distributed to the ball sealing face via a series of
ports drilled around the seat circumference. The sealant injection fitting features a
check valve and safety vent cap, with a positive metal seat.
All Richards trunnion mounted valves feature the spring energised constrained seat
design, which ensures seat integrity under high differential pressures. It also allows
for seat inter-changeability, lower torque and provision for emergency sealant
injection. The seat design has been qualified with high velocity blow-down testing
and extended pressure / temperature testing. The standard seat material for valves
to Class 900 is carbon filled PTFE which allows service conditions to 260°C, with
PEEK being used for Class 1500 and where conditions exceed the limits of
CFPTFE. Alternative seating is also available.
In the event of the valve being engulfed in fire, the valve is designed to ensure
minimal leakage is maintained both via the seat and the valve body. As the resilient
seat burns away, the seat assembly is energised to the ball. A metal to metal
contact is effected by the secondary firesafe seat. Body integrity is also maintained,
with 316/graphite spiral wound gaskets as auxiliary connector seals.
All Richards trunnion valves are fire tested to the latest fire test standards ,
including the stringent API 607 4th Edition.
