1.1.

Control Valves

Control valves shall be supplied in accordance with specification 3PS-JV-001.

Control valve suppliers shall be subject to approval by Managing Contractor.

Globe type control valves shall be selected as standard. The valve sizing calculations
shall be performed in accordance with equations defined by project standards and
codes in Appendix A. Hardened plug and seat rings are required for applications
where pressure drops in excess of 10 Kg/cm2 are expected.

Control valve actuators shall be instrument air driven and of the spring-opposed
diaphragm type, operated by an analogue air signal via a positioner supplied with the
valve.

Solenoid valves, where required, shall be installed in between the positioner and
actuator and shall be certified to project codes and standards. Where manual reset of
the SOV is required this shall be by operation of a mechanical latch.

The control signal shall be Foundation Fieldbus or 4-20 mA DC converted to 0.2 - 1.0
Kg/cm2, direct acting.

Valve position limit switches shall be inductive proximity type. Where this is not a
practical solution mechanical, hermetically sealed ‘SPDT’ limit switches will be
acceptable.

Individual Air Filter Regulators shall be provided for the solenoid valves installed on
On/Off Valves & Control Valves. All filter regulators shall have a metal bowl.
Plastic bowls are not acceptable.

Block valves shall be provided for all control , shutdown & depressurising valves.

Handwheels shall be provided for control valves where indicated on P&Ids. Shutdown
& depressurising valves shall have lockable type isolation valves but shall not have
handwheels or bypass valves.

Bypass valves shall be provided for all control valves upto 4“ size. Valve positioners
shall be fitted with a bypass to allow local manual control of the valve.

Valves of 3” or greater shall be fitted with lugs to allow vertical lifting.

1.2. On/Off Valves/ESD Valves

Ball type valves shall generally be selected and comply with piping specification.

The actuator will be chosen from the following types:

• Quarter turn rotating actuators, single acting, piston type, spring return

• Quarter turn double acting piston type

• Electric motor.
Double acting actuators shall be equipped with an air reservoir to allow three strokes
open/close in case of instrument air failure. Reservoir shall be designed as per ASME
Section 8 Division 1.

Where applicable valves will have the following accessories:

• Manual reset Solenoid valve, limit switches, hand wheel

• Instrument air supply with pressure regulator, filter, check valve, restriction
orifices.
• Reservoir with pressure transmitter.

• For all the shutdown valves , SS tubing shall be used to provide air connection
to actuator through solenoid valve instead of PVC coated copper tubing.

• Valves of 3” or greater shall be fitted with a lugs to allow vertical lifting

1.3. Relief Valves

Pressure relief valves shall be designed to conform with the codes and standard
specified in Appendix A.

All wetted parts shall be suitable for the fluids to be relieved, valves used in sour gas
service shall be balanced bellows closed bonnet type and be sized for back pressures
of 10%. The orifice calculated shall be no less than 60% of rated area selected.

1.4. Special Materials

Field instrument specifications shall be according to NACE standards wherever

applicable.
