b) Basic Bid Work
c) Project P & IDs
d) Process Design Criteria / Instrument Process Data Sheets / Instrument List with
Process Parameters
3.0
SCOPE OF SUPPLY:
3.1 The quantity to be supplied and installed shall be as per the requirements indicated
in the Basic Bid Work, Design Criteria and the P & IDs.
3.2 The vendor shall be responsible for the selection of the Deluge Valve suitable for
its intended application, its procurement, tagging, packing, testing & calibration,
preparation for shipment, along with accessories, spares, and assistance where
required for its installation & commissioning at site. This FS shall be read in
conjunction with the Instrument Design Criteria.
4.0
DELUGE VALVE:
4.1 Valve Selection & Construction:
4.1.1 The Contractor shall select Deluge valve based upon plant capacity.
4.1.2 Valve selection shall consider all possible effect of erosion, cavitations and noise.
4.1.3 Maximum permissible noise level shall be 85 dBA at 1 m from valve in all
direction.
4.1.4 Shut-off leakage of valves shall be in accordance with ANSIB16.104. Generally
shut-off shall be class IV or better. In General, valves shall be Drip-Free.
4.1.5 Body rating and flange rating and facing shall be in accordance with the piping
class specification for the associated piping.
4.1.6 Valve packing boxes (where applicable) shall be flange bolted to the bonnet. Valve
packing shall be spring loaded and adjustable. Teflon V rings shall be used up to
2120C. Above this temperature graphite shall be used with an external lubricator
and isolation valve.
4.1.7 Valve bonnets shall be flange bolted to the body. Screwed bonnets shall not be
provided. For operating temperature of 2000C or greater, a radiating finned bonnet
may be required. For temperature below 00C an extension bonnet is required. If
bellows seals are required they shall be constructed from 316SS.
4.1.8 Minimum body size shall be DN25.
4.1.9 Pneumatic connections shall be NPTF as minimum. Larger Port sizes shall be
used wherever required for larger sizes of actuators.
4.1.10 Termination in wiring enclosures shall be via fixed terminals. Flying leads shall
not be permitted

4.1.11 Flow direction shall be stamped or cast on the body of all valves.
4.1.12 The offered make and model of the Deluge valve shall be certified / listed by

Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or BV or DNV for Fire Water Deluge service.

4.1.13 Valve shall be sized as per the requirements of the platform for fire fighting
4.2 Actuator:
4.2.1
Deluge valve actuators shall be pneumatic, spring return type, diaphragm or
piston type. Spring shall be corrosion resistant, cadmium plated or equal. Piston
type actuator shall be used where diaphragm actuator cannot be used due to
capacity limitation. Electric actuator shall be used wherever specified.
4.2.2
Actuators shall be sized for operation under maximum shutoff pressure drop
across the valve minimum instrument air pressure or voltage to the actuator as
specified in this specification.
4.2.3
Actuators shall be selected to achieve specified valve failure positions. All
accessories, including pilot valves, relays, volume bottles etc. for double acting
actuator or air block relays for fail in position valves, shall be supplied with the
valve.
4.2.4
Detachable side mounted heavy-duty hand wheels shall be provided for Deluge
valves wherever specified.
4.2.5
Actuator action shall be field reversible.
4.2.6
Diaphragm actuators shall be multiple bolted, pressed steel with Nylon
reinforced Neoprene or Buna N Rubber Diaphragm.
4.3 Positioner: (if applicable)
4.3.1 Deluge valve shall be supplied fitted with positioner for all services except on/off
Deluge.
4.3.2 The Valve positioner shall be intrinsically safe smart type with integral I/P
converter and shall be direct acting, with field reversible action.
4.3.3 Gauges shall be fitted to indicate both input & output pressure.
4.4 Material:
4.4.1 The material requirements for Deluge Valves shall in general be according to
clause 3.6.4.5 of Instrumentation Design Criteria and according to the Material
Selection Chart provided in Annexure I of this document.
4.4.2 Deluge valve bodies shall generally be Cast 5% Al Bronze to BS 1400.A.B.2C.,
however more demanding services may require other materials as specified in the
applicable piping specification/Material selection chart. Consideration shall be
given in selection of all other valve part materials for corrosion due to process fluid
and ambient conditions.
4.4.3 Accessories such as mounting bolts shall be of SS 316.
4.4.4 Tubing shall be seamless 316 SS tube 3/8 OD minimum with 316 SS double
ferrule compression fittings.
4.5 MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS:
4.5.1 Clearance shall be provided to allow in- line maintenance of valves. Adequate
clearance shall be provided above and below the valve and shall be installed on

Deluge valves shall be installed in the direction recommended by the manufacturer
and the valve shall not be subjected to stress due to pipeline movement or
misalignment.
All valves shall be tested in accordance with API 589, hydro-tested t ASME B
16.34 clause 7.1 and leak tested to ASME / FCI 70.2.
Contractor shall remove in line instruments and Deluge valve and provide
necessary spool pieces/ Flanges prior to flushing/hydro testing.
All diaphragm and piston operated Deluge valve shall be stroked pneumatically
using a pressure regulator and pressure gauge against spring range shown on name
plate Mechanical sealing and travel shall be checked against name plate. Check
shall be made in shop prior to installation.
