6.8.3 Valves
All valves will be manufactured from first quality material, have superior
designed parts, dust-tight construction, and have easily maintained
lubricating systems. All valve parts will be arranged for ease of
accessibility in the installed position.
The design and manufacture of all valves will be to the approval of the
Owner/Engineer. Valve information will be detailed in the appropriate

possible without removing the check valve from the line. Check valves in
vertical pipe runs should be avoided, however, where necessary these will
be provided with by passes and drain valves.
Cast or steel-forged bodies will be used for high-pressure valves >25 bar)
with a nominal bore larger than NB 65, and for smaller bore, steel forged
bodies will be used. For low-pressure valves (<25 bar) with a nominal
bore larger than NB 250, cast-steel bodies will be used.
Carbon steel will be used for temperatures below 400 C. For
temperatures above 400 C, alloy steel will be used unless agreed by the
Owner/Engineer.
All valves will be designed to prevent erosion of the valve seats when the
valves are operated in a partially open position In areas with increased
hazard valve actuators will be driven by air with spring to close feature.
Only in well justified cases the use of electric actuators will be accepted in
those areas. In this case explosion proof design is mandatory.
Spring load for pneumatic actuators will be employed to facilitate safety
during air failure, i.e. the valve is closed by spring force. However, in the
case of the main inlet fuel system blocks and bleed valves, if there is a loss
of air or electric power the valve will lock in position. Only when there is
a fire signal will these valves fail close.
Valves with welding ends will have ready machined ends, which will
match exactly the dimension of the pipe to which the ends have to be
welded.
The welding ends will be of the same material as the pipe and will be
long enough to allow heat treatment after welding, without the risk of
damage to the valve by temperature increase.
All valves will be installed in such a way that they can be easily operated
by one person. Where required, valves spindles will be sufficiently long,
or extended in such a manner that the hand-wheel is at a level of
approximately one meter above floor or platform level, from which the
valve can be operated. Where required these will be provided with
headstocks and pedestals of rigid construction. Where extension spindles

are fitted they will incorporate two universal joints. All valve pedestals
will be mounted direct on floor girders and not on floor plating. All floor
steelwork necessary for supporting pedestals will be included. Installation
with the valve stem oriented downwards/tilted is not acceptable.
All valve actuators will have local indicators fitted to show whether the
valves are in an open or shut position. In the case of valves being
equipped with extended spindles, indicators will be fitted to both the
extended spindle and to the valve spindle. Motor driven valves will have
position indicators in the CCR.
Plastic or bakelite valve hand-wheels are not permitted.
The stops limiting the travel of any valve in the "open" or "shut" position
will be arranged externally to the valve body.
All valves will be closed by turning the hand-wheel in the clock-wise
direction when looking on top of the hand-wheel.
The face of each hand-wheel will be clearly marked with the words
"open" and "shut" in English, with adjacent arrows to indicate the
direction of rotation to which each refers.
If, due to the use of a gear reducer, the valve has a spindle with a left-turn
thread, this should be clearly marked.
Each valve hand-wheel will be fitted with a name-plate of an approved
material, indicating in English the valve reference number and function.
The name-plate will incorporate the colour code corresponding to the
particular service of the piping.
Each valve will be permanently marked with the code designation of
valve, casing material, manufacturers serial number, nominal bore and
the nominal pressure/test pressure and temperature (operating pressure
and temperature from NP 63 onwards).
Hand-wheels equipped with electric servo motors, or hand-wheels of
valves to which a servo motor may be fitted, will not rotate when the
servo motor is in use and will furthermore, be able to be handled without
being mechanically connected to the servo motor.

When determining the actuating forces, design pressure for one side and
zero (0) bar pressure on the other side of the valve disc (i.e. full
differential) will be assumed.
Eye bolts will be provided where necessary to facilitate handling heavy
valves or parts of valves.
Valves will be fitted with approved limit switches where required for
interlocking purposes and to implement the control scheme as necessary
for remote indication and control.
Spindles of valves for outdoor use will have weatherproof protection
covers. In general all valves exposed to the elements will be corrosion
resistant.
Test certificates for all valves will be issued by the Manufacturer duly
signed by the Inspection
Authority
