SEALING MEMORY
The Velan sealing memory is induced into the seats
during the assembly process. When the ball is
inserted into the valve body during assembly, it
partially flattens the seat, creating a tensile stress in
the center of the seat.
As a result, the seat core increases in diameter from
D
1
to D
2
and like a stretched elastic band pushes
against the ball. This ensures reliable sealing even
at vacuum or low pressures.
SEAT STRENGTH
A seat in tension is stronger than a seat in
compression because the tensile strength of PTFE in
tension is 3600 psi versus only 1800 psi for PTFE
in compression. Greater strength means less fatigue,
superior sealing ability and longer cycle life.
CAVITY PRESSURE RELIEF
Memory seal seats are designed to relieve
overpressure in the ball/body cavity. This capability
is influenced by many variables including: fluid
characteristics, variations in pressure, seat
materials, seat compression, temperature and
thermal cycles.
Positive release of cavity overpressure to the
upstream side is assured in bypassing the upstream
seat through a drilled hole in the ball. This option is
preferred in certain services such as liquid chlorine.
Pressure relief when the valve is in the open
position is always through the vent in the top of the
ball adjacent to the stem connection.
For further information on Cavity Relief contact Velan.
SUMMARY OF MEMORY
SEAL BENEFITS
G
SEATS IN-TENSION
- Greater strength
- Less fatigue
- Positive bi-directional shutoff
- Compensate for temperature fluctuations
- Uniform torque
- High cycle life
- Eliminate cold flow effects
G
LARGER SEATING AREA
- Superior sealing
LOWER TORQUES
Velan in-tension seats produce more uniform
torque because the seat deflects into the cavity
behind it to accommodate slight differences in
machining tolerances or the normal expansion of
PTFE as temperature increases. PTFE expands
approximately seven times as much as metal.

4. Stem thrust washer
prevents galling, reduces
operating torque and
provides a secondary
stem seal.
5. Blowout-proof.
The internally-backseated
stem provides blowout-
proof safety.
6. Antistatic devices.
Ball-to-stem and
stem-to-body static

A UNIQUE PACKING CHAMBER TESTED FOR 0 PPM EMISSIONS
WITH A FULLY GUIDED STEM AND FLANGED PACKING GLAND
ALTERNATIVE STEM & PACKING CHAMBER DESIGNS
Live-loaded flanged gland for long cycle life
1. Fully-guided stem.
Stem bearings in body
and in the gland follower
prevent wobbling and
packing leakage due
to side thrust on stem.
2. Two piece flanged
gland design.
To assure low fugitive
emissions is standard.
3. Low emission stem seal.
Precompressed (2000 psi)
solid PTFE packing rings,
a two-piece flanged gland
and fine finish of stem
and I.D. of packing
chamber provides
0-20 ppm tightness
for low emissions.
TA-LUFT QUALIFICATION
The certificate issued by RWTUV after testing Velan
memory ball valves states We herewith certify the
equivalence of shaft sealing for Velan ball valves
with a fully guided shaft and live-loaded flanged
packing gland to stem sealing with bellows seal and
additional safety packing. This is based upon the
requirements described in TA-Luft, Section 3.1.8.4.
LOW FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
Based on extensive laboratory tests and field
experience, Velan guarantees the customer
that standard Velan ball valves will provide
low emission service, on gaskets, and stem
seals, under normal operating conditions,
provided that gland and body-bonnet bolting is
torqued to minimum values shown in the
current Velan maintenance manuals.
Maximum emissions on new valves:
20 ppm PTFE packing rings and 100 ppm
graphite packing rings.

VELAN BALL VALVE API 607 REVISION 4
An extensive range of Velans resilient seated ball valves have been tested to and successfully passed
BS6755 and API 607 Revision 4 test including our split-body, unibody, top-entry and end-entry designs.
This now allows valve users to select Velan ball valves for a wide variety in installations with the latest in
Fire Safe technology. The following shows the procedure and equipment used in the fire testing of the
Velan ball valves in accordance with API 607 Revision 4.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
FIRE TEST IN PROGRESS
A valve was picked for
testing at random.
1
Hydrotested
to API 598
standard.

5
Valve mounted
on the fire test rig in
closed position with
thermocouples located as required.

Valve is exposed to
14001800F for 30 minutes.
4
Simulated fire fighting. Rapid
water quenching lowers the valve
temperature to below 212F.
5
Valve is cycled (open and closed) and pressure tested at
30 psig. Average leakage rate is calculated based on a 5-minute
measurement period.
6
While the valve is
exposed to the fire, the
leakage is not allowed to
exceed the rate specified
in API 607 Revision 4
standards.

APPLICATIONS:
These rugged, versatile, high performance ball valves
meet all requirements for oil and gas pipeline service
and, when required, meet NACE specifications
MR0175 for sour gas.
The valves can handle a vast variety of fluids, slurries,
semi-solids and almost any corrosive service in
chemical, oil, petrochemical, gas, pulp, paper
processing and other industries.
Standard valves with RPTFE seats can handle steam
service to 150 psig. Valves with carbon graphite filled
PTFE seats are suitable for steam up to 250 psig.
The valves comply with API 607
(4)
and BS 6755 fire
safe standards and are ideally suited for LP gas,
petroleum and petrochemical processing.
NOTE:
(3) For latest revision compliance contact the factory.
(4) Fire safe to API 607 Rev. 3, and BS 6755 for standard valves
and to API 607 Rev. 4 with graphite packing due to two
secondary metal-to-metal seals when resilient seats and
seals evaporate in a fire:
1. Body seating edge for ball. 2. Stem shoulder-body.

1. RELEASE OF CAVITY PRESSURE
Positive release to the upstream side is assured in
bypassing the upstream seat through a drilled hole in
the ball. These valves must be installed in one
direction only. An arrow indicates the directional use of
the valve. Self-relieving seats are also available.
3. CLEANING
All parts are carefully cleaned and are black light tested
to assure they are free of hydrocarbons, alcohol or
moisture. Valves are dried after hydrotest and packed
in plastic bags with a desiccant.
