 SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT

THE VALVES LISTED IN THIS MANUAL ARE INTENDED FOR USE AT PRESSURE AND
TEMPERATURE INDICATED ON THE VALVE SERIAL PLAQUES.

ANY OPERATION ABOVE THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE AND/OR TEMPERATURE RATING MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

ENSURE TO ADHERE TO ADDITIONAL “CAUTION” NOTES IN SUBSEQUENT SECTIONS OF THIS

MANUAL.

VIOLATION OF OPERATING PROCEDURES SHALL VOID MASTER FLO VALVE LTD (MFV)
EQUIPMENT WARRANTY.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN WORK, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE SITE, MFV EQUIPMENT, AND
ANY POTENTIAL HAZARDS THAT MAY EXIST.

CHECK TOOLS, MFV EQUIPMENT, AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR
HAZARDS BEFORE USING.

ALWAYS WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) APPROPRIATE TO THE JOB/SITE.

OBEY ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL, PROVINCIAL/STATE, AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
REGARDING HAZARDOUS WORK ENVIRONMENTS AS REQUIRED.

MFV EQUIPMENT REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SHOULD BE DETERMINED BASED ON

WELL CONDITIONS. MAINTENANCE MUST INCLUDE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE EXTERNAL

4.0 INSTALLATION:
Mount choke or control valve into the piping line, taking care to ensure that the inlet of the valve is connected
to upstream piping, and the outlet of the valve is connected to downstream piping. Orient the actuator
override and grease nipple so that they are safely accessible.

NOTE: The valve is designed for flow from the inlet to the outlet. Improper connection orientation to
the flow line can result in premature component wear or failure.

The valve must be installed in the piping as per industry accepted mounting practices. It is the responsibility
of the end user to determine the bolting, gasketing and threading requirements for mounting of the valve to
the piping, and to have these requirements conform to the design standards of the end connections and
piping system.

The valve is only to be used for control of flow. The flow to be controlled must be within the rated temperature
and pressure ranges of the valve. These ratings can be found on the serial plaque. The flow composition
must also be acceptable for the material class of the valve. The external environment must be controlled to
within acceptable levels for the valve and actuator materials, paint and coating.

Install the actuator supply and feedback lines. The supply and feedback must conform to the actuator
requirements. These requirements can be found in the actuator maintenance manual.

5.0 OPERATION:
Once the valve is properly connected to the piping, flow may be introduced through the choke or control
valve. Flow must be introduced as per the piping system commissioning procedures. For valves that have
been disassembled as per either the trim disassembly or full disassembly procedure of this manual, it is
recommended that a controlled pressure test, including inspection for leakage, be performed prior to full
operation.

Refer to the actuator maintenance manual for instructions on operating the actuator through the cylinders.
For manual operation, operate the override in the open direction (counter-clockwise) to open the valve.
Operate the override in the closed direction (clockwise) to close the valve.

CAUTION:

1. Do not operate the valve through the override if the control system is controlling valve position.
The positioner may attempt to return the valve to theinput position, causing hazardous
backdriving.
2. Caution must be used when contacting the valve, as the surface temperature of the valve may
be hot or cold depending on flow and environmental conditions.

To seat the valve, operate the valve to the full closed position through either the override or by stepping the
actuator.

CAUTION: The valve must not be used as a shut-in device for downstream maintenance. In the case
of trim damage, or if debris is lodged in the trim, the valve may not seat properly.

CAUTION: The valve must be partially open to ensure no pressure is trapped in the valve
body cavity. Follow applicable safety procedures when venting any fluids. Venting is to be
done through other devices. The choke or control valve is not equipped with venting
mechanisms.

2. Position valve to approximately 10% open.

3. Disconnect actuator supply lines and feedback cable as required. Plug hydraulic ports and lines (if
applicable) to prevent contamination.
4. To remove the valve trim, see Section 8.0 (Choke Disassembly Procedure). Follow steps 6 thru 14.
5. See Inspection Procedure (Section 9.0) for part inspection where applicable.

SEAT FACE

Figure 9.1: Seat

5. Inspect External sleeve (item 07) for damage on seat face and inside diameter (see Figure 9.2).
Inspect sealing surface for pitting or scratches.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

The regular maintenance schedule should be determined based on well conditions.

a) Maintenance must include visual examination of the External sleeve balancing ports for scale or
blockage.
b) The External sleeve balancing ports need to be clear of scale, debris, or anything that would
prevent the flow of fluid from one side of the External sleeve to the other.
c) If these ports are blocked, there is potential for excessive force to be imparted on the choke stem
and bonnet bolting which may result in failure of the containment device and possible injury.
d) Replace the External sleeve if these ports appear to be permanently blocked.

BE RETURNED TO MFV UPON REQUEST.
 e) Confirmation of blockage can be done using the simple test listed below (see Section f).
f) The holes on the back disc on the External sleeve are offset to the holes in the External sleeve
carrier. Therefore, no direct flow path can be observed. To determine if there may be an issue with
blockage, a simple test can be performed. Place the External sleeve with the flow control surfaces
facing upwards and pour water into the inner diameter. The water should flow out of the bottom of
the External sleeve in a steady stream. If it does not, the External sleeve ports may have some
degree of blockage.
g) At any time during operation, if the presence of scale or debris is suspected in the choke, inspect
the balancing ports or contact Master Flo for additional in-service testing instructions at
info@masterflo.com.

11.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

Refer to actuator maintenance manual for calibration procedure.

12.0 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:

1. Lubricate stem threads and thrust washers with a molydisulfide grease (Jetlube AP-5 or equivalent)
through the grease nipple (item 25) on the mounting plate (item 26).

Lubrication is required every 2 weeks. Excessive use or harsh operating conditions may warrant a
more frequent lubrication schedule.

2. Refer to actuator maintenance manual for actuator maintenance procedures.

3. Trim maintenance and inspection requirements will vary depending on both the type of trim and seals,
and on the flow conditions through the valve.

It is the responsibility of the user to determine the necessary inspection intervals. Inspection of the
valve requires trim removal as per the procedures of this manual. Maintenance must be performed
when fluid leakage is noted, or when the Cv of the valve changes without changing position.
