Page: 5 of 22

3.14

Lug Type Valve Describes a valve type which is installed between mating pipe flanges where
the valve body has bolt holes that are either through-drilled or tapped and protect the bolts. The
through-drilled lug designed valves are held in place by the compressive force transmitted from
the flange bolts to the valve body.

3.15

Manufacturer The recipient of a direct or indirect purchase order for materials and/or
equipment. In this context, a direct order is one issued to a manufacturer by a contractor or the
Owner. An indirect order is one issued to a manufacturer by a vendor (recipient of a direct
order) for materials, fabricated components, or subassemblies.

3.16

Non-Dangerous Materials As used herein, includes all materials not listed as Dangerous
Materials above.

3.17

Non-Lubricating Service Is defined as hydrocarbons lighter than 68 API, including vapor.


Also, steam, process air, and process gases are included in this category.

3.18

On-stream Equipment Isolation An application referred to in this Practice to indicate the need
for the isolation of equipment or a unit from service for the purpose of repairs, cleaning,
inspection of that equipment while the remainder of the plant continues in operation. These
services require that the valve, usually a gate, contain special trim to obtain greater assurances
of tight shutoff. Equipment which usually falls into this category includes pumps, compressors,
steam turbines, dryers, vessels, pressure relief valves and furnaces, which are provided with a
spare or are able to be bypassed. Typical locations where onstream equipment isolation is
required are: at spared equipment and equipment capable of being bypassed; at process unit
limits; and at tankage. Depending on design conditions and fluid service, either one or two
blocks valves are required for this application.

3.19

Owner Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC.

3.20

Owners Engineer A Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC. appointed engineer.

3.21

Product Segregation to Prevent Contamination Is an application referred to in this Practice to


indicate that special requirements are necessary to prevent mixing of separate fluid streams
which would result in unacceptable contamination if fluid on either side of the valve. Some
typical examples are: Jumpover connections between product lines; a valve in a unit bypass;
valves in some equipment bypasses (such as reactor inlet and effluent); and at product
distribution manifolds. Depending on design conditions and fluid service, either one or two
block valves are required for this application.

3.22

Purchaser The party placing a direct purchase order.


designated representative.

3.23

Segregation for Safety An application referred to in this Practice to indicate that special
requirements are necessary for the segregation of fluids which could result in an explosive
mixture. A typical example is cyclic reformer reactor and regeneration block valves, where air
and hydrogen-hydrocarbon vapors are segregated. Normally, two block valves are required for
this application.

3.24

Slurry Service A fluid service with a solids content greater than 0.1 lb/gal.

3.25

Soft Seat Defines valve closures employing a nonmetal to metal seat to effect a seal. In
gate valves, the nonmetallic seat is an insert, e.g. Teflon, in the gate or seat ring. Ball valve
seat rings usually contain a non-metal insert or are non-metallic.

Notes:
1) Varies significantly depending on material rating. Listed size represents maximum regularly produced by one or
more Manufacturers for Class 150 and 300 carbon steel. Larger sizes always available on special order basis.
2) Rating may be limited by pressure/temperature limits of soft-seat material, refer to Manufacturers Standard.
3) Valves normally produced to be compatible with the pressure/temperature ratings of the indicated ASME OR ANSI
fitting standard.
4) DELETED.
5) Valves in sizes: 2 inch through 12 inch available in all ratings; 14 inch through 18 inch available through class 900
rating: and 20 inch through 48 inch available through class 300 rating.
6) ASME B16.34 wall thickness may be specified for steel or CRA (Corrosion Resistant Alloy) valves with corrosion
allowances 1/8 inch. When another standard also applies, both can be referenced, e.g., Class 300 nickel alloy
gate valve per API 600 except wall thickness per ASME B16.34.
7) Trim material per API 600.
8) Trim material per API 594.
9) Valve shall be purchased to the applicable Industry Standard.
10) Trim material per API 600. If Class 800 is specified for carbon steel valves, the minimum body thickness shall be
as specified in API 602.
11) Pressure Relief Valves shall be designed in accordance with the ASME VIII-Div. 1 or ASME VIII-Div. 2, as
applicable, and API 526.
12) Materials include steel, ductile iron and bronze.

Notes:

2) Metal seating surfaces in soft seated block valves are also covered by this table.
3) Where more than one API Trim No. is provided for a specific trim service classification, the most economical
selection shall be made. Trim materials are selected for corrosion resistance and to prevent galling of seated
surfaces.
4) Hydrogen charge due to corrosion of CS valve body causes cracking of hardened heat affected zones due to
welding. 316SS to CS weld is much softer due to Ni content of SS versus 13 Cr to CS weld which has a higher
hardness in the Heat Affected Zone.
5)

HCL service is defined in TEP 10-2-1.

Monel trim limited to 450F.


For temperatures less than or equal to 200F. For temperatures greater than 200F or pressure drops greater
than 100 psig (control valves), an AISI Type 316 valve body with Hastelloy C or titanium trim shall be used.
