Materials of Construction
PBV® manufactures trunnion ball valves using a full range
of carbon, alloy and stainless materials. Our commodity
valves are manufactured using dual rated A105/A350 LF2
steel, B7M/2HM fasteners, and 3 mil ENP carbon steel trim
on 6” and larger. Material test reports in accordance with
EN10204 3.1b are available on each serialized valve.

NACE Compliance
The demand for valves to be resistant to sulfide stress crack-
ing, and to perform in corrosive hydrocarbon environments,
has become commonplace. Facilities handling H2S bearing
hydrocarbons have increased dramatically over recent years.
Hydrogen sulfide concentration, total system pressure, appli-
cation temperature, existence of elemental sulfur, and chlo-
ride content all have a bearing on appropriate material selec-
tion in this severe environment.

All materials used by PBV® are in accordance with the


pre-qualified materials identified in NACE MR0175/ISO
15156. In order to ensure compliance customers must provide
application specific operating conditions.

Inclusive to the above, valves with bore diameters 4" and


smaller are supplied standard with Stainless Steel balls, seats
and stems. Material type selected may vary depending on
design requirements.

PBV®’s Patented Seat Technologies


PBV® provides the latest in valve seat technology, leading the terms of available seat configurations and designs. PBV® ’s
industry with the patented Comp II seat. Other seat designs metal-to-metal seating technologies and manufacturing capa-
are also available to meet your application requirements. bilities continue to lead the way in industry innovations
This makes PBV® one of the most flexible manufacturers in where severe service applications are required.

Compseal - II 2"-12" Standard, Class 150-1500


PBV® has a patented seat design called Compseal II. This seat
combines the strength and durability of hard plastics while
providing the low pressure sealing capabilities of elastomers.
The illustration shows the Compseal II seat insert locked into
the seat retainer. Compseal II may be supplied in a variety of
combinations of elastomers and plastics.

Compseal - 0
14" and Larger Standard, Class 600 and Up
2" and Larger Standard, Class 2500
The PBV® Compseal-0 design is ideal for applications where
non-standard seat materials are required for the service con-
ditions. The different materials give added flexibility for
faster delivery in demanding applications. The seat inserts
allow for a variety of materials to be used while still com-
plying to API seat test requirements for “bubble-tight shut-
off”. Nylon Compseal-0 designs are standard on sizes 14"
and larger.

Compseal - 1
14" and Larger Standard, Class 150 - 300
PBV® Compseal-1 seat designs are for applications that
require redundant sealing when access to a valve is limited or
start up conditions are known to have debris in the line.
Lower torque and low pressure shut-off are often achieved
utilizing this design while providing customers with zero
leakage reliability at an affordable price.

Metal -To- Metal Seats


Hard Face Overlay
There are a number of services that require metal-to-metal
seat technology. PBV® has extensive experience in the supply
of valves for applications such as high temperature cokers,
control valve applications and in corrosive and/or erosive
environments. PBV® achieves the metal-to-metal seating
technology through the use of various hard face material on
the ball and seat face.

Locking Devices
Locking devices are standard on all PBV® trun-
nion ball valves. The designs shown depict the
locking feature for both lever-operated and gear-
operated valves. In addition, a multiple lock tem-
plate can accommodate safety requirements
when more than one person needs reassurance of
security. Special safety interlock devices are also
available.

Actuation
PBV® ball valves are built to easily accept pneumatic, elec-
tric, hydraulic or gas-over-oil actuators. Break-away and run
torque, which normally affect actuator sizing,
are minimized to allow for economical actuator
packages. Actuated ball valves may be supplied
directly from PBV® under a single warranty.

Valve/Actuator assemblies can be tested to cus-


tomer requirements at PBV® before shipment to
the job site.

The valves shown at right are just a few of


many severe service ball valves PBV ® produced
for the United States Department of Energy,
Strategic Petroleum Reserves, complete with gear
operators built and tested to DOE specifications.

Weld Overlay Technology


This technology is cost effective for ball valves
in highly corrosive or erosive services. The life of
a valve can be considerably extended at a fraction
of the cost of a solid corrosion resistant alloy
valve by the application of a weld overlay to
valve internal surfaces.

If you are currently using solid stainless steel or


other high alloy valves the use of this technology
could result in considerable savings with no sac-
rifice to service life or performance. Offered on
valves 6"and larger.

Welding is performed in accordance with ASME


BPV Section 9.

Three-Piece Trunnion Series 5700/6700 Double Block and Bleed Valves


All PBV® trunnion mounted ball valves are designed and
manufactured to facilitate block and bleed applications in the
closed position only. In addition, valves 6" and larger can be
completely flushed with the valve under pressure
and in the closed position. This is achieved by
utilizing the drain valve and vent hole in combi-
nation. The illustration shows both the upstream
pressure (Pu) and the downstream pressure (Pd)
being held independently from the body pres-

assures bubble tight sealing simultaneously on
both sides of the ball. Pu Pb Pd

Two-Piece Trunnion Series 6800 Double Block and Bleed Valves


The PBV® two-piece cast series 6800 trunnion ball valve has
complete body cavity isolation from the media in both the
open and closed position. The operator can perform a double
block & bleed in the open or closed position to check seat seal
integrity. Body cavity vent and drain ports are
provided as standard to perform this inspection.
The seats are self-relieving to automatically pre-
vent over pressurization of the body cavity due
to thermal expansion of the trapped fluid. When
the body cavity pressure increases above the net
spring load the seat moves away from the ball
venting pressure downstream.

Valve Cavity Pressure Relief


When a trunnion ball valve is in the closed position, media will
be trapped in the body cavity. Unless this media is drained, it
will be subjected to thermal expansion and contraction. As the
temperature rises, the trapped media desires to expand and
the pressure increases in the area shown as (Pb).
In order to avoid excessive pressure build-up,
the PBV® seats are designed to self-relieve,
allowing the media in the body to escape to the
Pb Pb
pipeline. In this case, we have shown it to relieve
to the downstream side (Pd). This self-relieving CLOSED BALL
seat design feature is standard on all PBV® trun-
nion ball valves. Pu Pd

Seat Design
The necessary thrust required for proper sealing of the seat to the ball at
low pressure is provided by spiral springs (See Illustration 1). At high
pressure the thrust of the seat to the ball is increased by the pressure of
service medium in the pipeline. Primary seat sealing is provided by a
soft sealing ring of different rubber types. Alternatively, a PTFE hard
sealing ring (or PTFE modifications) can be used for primary sealing.
Secondary sealing is provided by metal-to-metal contact of the seat to
the ball. Emergency sealant, which can be injected between the seat and
ball, can be used as tertiary sealing. Seats with soft sealing rings are auto-
matically supplied as DPE design (See Illustration 2). DPE design
means, that if the upstream seat is damaged, Illustration No. 1

Two-Way Double Block and Bleed


To meet customers requirements, often times a A D S L S B
two-way seat design is required. This design allows
for downstream seat sealing in the case of an
upstream seat failing to seal. This design also pro-
vides for the function of testing a valve in-line
and in full open position with the drain or bleed
valve open to the air.
