VALVE DESIGN & TEST

VALVE DESIGN & ANALYSIS

All valve designs, have been asset stress analysis to
ensure pressure contained parts performance before
manufacturing process.

VALVE REACTION & PRESSURE TEST

All KURVALF products are tested in accordance with API 598 standards with digitally aided valve test machines which
correspond %100 of modern requirements. Each valve is delivered to customers as EN10204 3.1 certificated. The types of
test performed as follows:

• Shell test • Low pressure closure test • Visual examination of casting

• Back-seat test • High pressure closure test • High pressure pneumatic shell test

Before selecting proper size, take consideration on factor of safety. Recommended factor of safety for general usage is min. 1,5 times of required torque value.

TORQUE MEASUREMENT
By making all torque measurements of our
valves in the most correct way with torque
measurement devices, we provide cost
advantage and longevity for our customers
on the equipment they chose.

Torque measurement values may show an

alteration depending on valve design type
and fluid type. Frequently used BTO values
are shown in the table. All measurements
are BTO torque values and they are for ball
valves with soft and hard seat.

It is recommended to add a safety factor of

1.5 times, when selecting an actuator above
the torque values.

For MTM seat, hard insert seat and other

type valve torque information, please contact
with us.

DESIGN FEATURES

SINGLE PISTON EFFECT

This type of seat design can ensure a tight contact with the ball in only
single direction. In fact, when the line (so the valve) is under pressure
(upstream), the seat is pushed toward the ball normally. It is called sin-
gle piston effect due to one side seat ring pushed toward the ball.

DOUBLE PISTON EFFECT

As the name of it indicates, this type of seat design provide a tight
contact with the ball in the normal direction, and also in the reverse
direction. So, both sides upstream and downstream can be sealed for
better leakage proof. Its design allows to use body cavity pressure to
push downstream side ring toward the ball also. It is called double pis-
ton effect due to both side seat ring pushed toward the ball.

ANTI STATIC DEVICE

Spring plus graphite type antistatic device are applied between the
ball, stem, gland flange and body, to keep the electrical continuity
between all the metallic components, and ensure the resistance
lower then the most severe service requirement.

BLOW-OUT PROOF STEM

This design ensures the valve stem cannot blown out of the body in
the event of the gland being removed while the valve is under pres-
sure. To prevent stem blow out from body, the stem has a shoulder
in the lower part and so constructs that it may not blow out up-
wards.

DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED

When the ball is in the closed position, each seat seals off the process medium inde-
pendently at the same time between the up/down stream and body cavity; it allows
bleeding of the trapped cavity pressure (DBB) through drain or vent valve. The double
block and bleed function makes it possible to flush the valve under pressure and verify
that the seats are sealing properly.

STEM SEAL
For high pressure or large size valves, double o-rings lo-
cated in the upper stem area are used to ensure positive
sealing. And upon request, additional stem seal injection
fittings are provided to be utilized in the case of emergen-
cies, o-ring damage, or if stem leakage occurs.

EMERGENCY SEAT SEAL

In the event of damage to the valve seat, sealant can be
injected to temporarily seal the valve until maintenance
can be performed. It provides high integrity shut-off. On
request, secondary seat sealant injection fittings are in-
stalled.
