Swivels
SPM® swivels are available in 2” through 4” sizes and in pressure ratings up to
15,000 psi. All SPM® swivels feature uniform wall thickness throughout for
consistent flow of fluids and extended life. Designed for optimized distribution of
material for female ball race components, the ball bearing connection of SPM®
swivels are robust while providing consistent rotation. The 3” 1502 swivels and
4” 1002 swivels are gauged during manufacturing to enable them to pass a 2.5”
and 3.5” frac ball respectively.
SPM® swivels are available in a wide variety of “styles” providing optimal
performance in a variety of installations. Rotation of the swivels will vary based
on configuration, with options available to provide movement in numerous
planes.
NOTE: Weir’s standard swivel offering is not intended for use in applications
requiring continuous rotation. Contact Weir Engineering for specific
information.
An insufficient number of swivels or improper make-up for a given installation
can lead to unacceptable loads on the entire piping system leading to premature
failure of seals or accelerated wear on the product. Swivels are not designed for
side loading. Loading that will induce a bending moment into the ball races is
prohibited. To prevent the above, at least three points of rotation are
recommended. This will allow the swivel to accommodate the free movement of
the lines in all planes. This can be accomplished at a minimum with one style-10
or two style-50 swivels turns.
It is recommended that a routine maintenance program be followed for
replacement of packing and seals, and that regularly scheduled lubrication is
preformed.

Plug Valve Grease Procedure (Legacy Plug Valves)
• Flush valve with clean water to wash away any contaminants in the valve.
• The valve must be in the open position prior to pumping the grease. Pump the operational grease, Val-Tex 972, into the
valve using the grease gun.
• Cycle the valve and grease per the following criteria:
• Pump to 2000 psi – close and open valve
• Pump to 4000 psi – close and open valve
• Pump to 6000 psi – close and open valve
NOTE: Air will be heard “popping” during opening and closing. This will allow for a more complete filling of grease in the valve.
• Visually inspect the inside of the valve to determine if the grease is extruding around the sides of the plug.
• For Rework Only: Engineering requires the use of Val-Tex 1502 assembly grease when disassembly and rebuild of the
valve is required. Completely coat with grease the O.D. of the plug and seal segments. Reassemble valve using new seal
components.
NOTE: The mixing of operational grease types/brands is not recommended. Grease mixing can result in a decrease of valve performance and/or
increase the required regreasing frequency.
Weir recommends operational re-greasing at a minimum after every six stages or six valve turn operations.
Before assembly into a fluid line, check the direction of flow indicated by the

Clapper Style SD Check Valve
SPM® clapper check valves are manufactured in 2”, 3”, and 4” sizes for operating
pressures up to 15,000 psi. Check valves with hammer union end connections are
available in standard or reverse flow, and should be installed with the flow
direction arrow machined on the body aligned with the flow direction of the line.
Versions with SPM® Safety Iron® connections are available in only one part
number, and only need to have the directional arrow on the body aligned with the
flow direction of the treating line. The clapper check valves, unlike the dart style,
are designed for fluids that are heavily laden with materials such as proppants,
solids, and ball sealers.

The SPM® dart style check valve should be installed in a branch where a flow control
device is necessary to prevent flow in one direction. For complete fluid shut-off, an
isolation valve (such as the SPM® plug valve) should be installed in series with the
dart check valve. The SPM® dart valve is not required to be mounted flat to function
properly. The internal spring constantly applies light pressure on the dart that
prevents any effect gravity might have on the dart’s operation.

Relief Valves
In the pressure pumping industry, there is an inherent level of danger
surrounding treating lines operating at high pressures. The potential for over
pressure events exists, which could result in catastrophic failure of the treating
line and result in SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. In
order to avoid this type of failure, relief valves are commonly used on pressure
pumping sites. Relief valves function by relying on the system’s hydraulic
pressure to overcome a preset force in the valve, which then expels fluid through
an outlet. Weir offers a variety of relief valve styles to help protect against over
pressurization.
Weir offers relief valves in two primary types: mechanical spring operated and
nitrogen operated. All of these valves are intended for emergency pressure relief
for most well service applications. They are designed for operating temperatures
from –30°C to +110°C (–22°F to +230°F). They are not suitable for fire protection
and they are not intended for continuous flow.
All of these valves are designed for liquid flow. Acceptable media include cement,
acidizing fluids, fracturing fluids, and drilling muds. Some of the product is rated
for sour gas service–be sure to consult with Weir Engineering for H2S or other
special services.

Spring Style Relief Valve
SPM® spring actuated relief valves are direct acting, relying on the system’s hydraulic
pressure to open when the preset force of the spring is exceeded. The 2” valve’s
operation is a simple balance between the spring loaded keeper which holds the ball
in the seat and the inlet liquid pressure acting on the ball. The spring pressure is set
by tightening the hex bolt on top which pushes on the keeper, and, in turn,
compresses the Belleville springs that force the keeper on the ball. When the inlet
fluid pressure rises and overcomes the set spring pressure, the ball is lifted off its
seat thereby discharging fluid through the outlet end. Once the pressure of the inlet
fluid falls below the set spring pressure, the ball will be pushed back onto its seat and
the fluid can pass downstream.
Weir offers multiple relief valve spring configurations, each optimized for a specific
pressure range. Using a valve within the rated pressure range will likely achieve
greater discharge capacity and improved repeatability. It is recommended that the
valve is sized according to the maximum set pressure that may be required. This
approach will help prevent the valve from being used at set pressures greater than
the recommended value.

Approximate Max Discharge Rate for Relief Valves
• 2” Spring – 150 gpm maximum
• 3” Spring – 430 gpm maximum
As discharge requirements increase, multiple valves may be preferred, and are
permissible. Multiples of either size valve is allowed as long as the valves are all
set within 10% of each other.

Chokes
SPM® adjustable and positive choke valves provide flow restriction in high
pressure applications such as choke manifolds and flow through manifolds. The
SPM® choke valve restricts the flow by reducing the flow area through the valve
body to achieve a desired rate. 2” 1502 choke valves have a maximum orifice size
of 1” while 3” 1502 choke valves have a maximum orifice size of 2”.
Adjustable choke valves use a stem and seat combination to control the flow rate.
The desired flow rate is adjusted by turning the hand wheel to achieve a
calibrated orifice size and associated flow coefficient. The orifice size is read from
an indicator which is calibrated in 1/64” increments and is lined up with a V-notch
machined into the top of the bonnet.
Positive choke valves provide a fixed flow rate through the use of a choke bean.
The flow rate is controlled by the choke bean orifice size.

Pipe
Weir offers pipe in both non-pressure seal (NPS) and integral styles. Sizes
available may vary by style but Weir provides pipe in many lengths up to 180”.
Contact Weir for specific non-standard lengths.
NPS Pipe
Weir offers NPS pipe in sizes 2” 1502, 3” 1502, and 4” 1002 configurations. In
applications involving strong cyclic loading, though, Weir recommends the use
of integral pipe. SPM® NPS pipe includes an identification groove on all non-
pressure seal threaded (NPS) subs per API RP-7HU1.
Design Specifications:
• Elastomer seal protects the threads
from exposure to the high pressure
fluid, allowing for greater working
pressure ratings
• Threaded sub incorporates epoxy
for a permanent assembly bond
Tolerances:
• Tolerance of the face to face length
of NPS pipe:
• 2” 1502: +/-.72”
• 3” 1502: +/-.72”
• 4” 1002: +/-.72”
Note: Other parts or configurations may be available. Contact Weir for specific details.

EXL Wing Nuts
Design Challenges
There are two primary sources of wingnut failure: fatigue cracks from cyclical
loading and excessive load impact from hammer strikes. Continual side load
forces paired with the typical pulsations produced during pumping operations
create significant levels of stress on hammer unions. Consequently, fatigue crack
formations may develop at the thread root which can propagate axially and lead
to an unexpected separation.
The Solution
The patent pending SPM® EXL wing nut helps address failures at their source and
features a full root radius on the internal threads to help minimize stress
concentrations. This design feature also provides the additional benefit of added
clearance for debris accumulation in the threads, assisting with proper assembly.
Thicker lugs that extend forward, paired with a larger outside diameter, reduce
cracking by suppressing the propagation path and provide a greater surface area
to absorb hammer impact loads.
The SPM® EXL wing nut can be retrofitted to existing SPM® product and is
compatible with most existing hammer union connections of comparable size
and pressure rating.
Design Validation
The SPM® EXL wing nut is engineered to minimize stress concentrations at
critical locations. A comprehensive analysis confirmed the design reduced
fatigue stress resulting in a 235% increase in cycles prior to failure. This fatigue
analysis is based on 1,500 lb. alternating side load.

Assembly Specifications
Trailer Frame
The SPM® manifold trailers with Safety Iron® connections utilize a dual-axle
frame allowing users more freedom of additional spare irons, hoses, and tool
boxes. Field experience has proven dual-axle frames are better suited to handle
increased weight requirements, provide a more durable base with reduced frame
deflection, and offer extended life in aggressive conditions. Some competitor’s
trailers feature a single axle and I-beam structural design that are more
susceptible to the aggressive weight requirements resulting in more frequent
repairs.
Flow Line Mounting
SPM® Safety Iron® manifold trailers feature flexible mounts, including coil spring
(high pressure) and rubber anti- vibration supports (low pressure), greatly
reducing the chance of fatigue cracks in integral components due to the vibration
caused during transport and operation. SPM® iron is mounted on wings designed
to share weight distribution across adjacent stations with a robust and fatigue
resistant design that is better suited for high vibration environments.
Trailer Suspension
SPM® manifold trailers with Safety Iron® connections are available with air-ride
suspensions.
Landing Gear
SPM® manifold trailers with Safety Iron® connections come standard with a 5”
landing gear system. Field experience has proven the 5” cylinders are better
suited for increased loads seen in the field, allowing users full utilization of trailer
frame capacity. A self-contained electric/hydraulic control unit operates off an
electric DC motor powered by a 12-volt battery securely mounted on the trailer.
Customers also have the option for a wet-kit system as well.

US PATENT 6,481,457
UK PATENT 2,370,869
How the SPM® FSR System Works
The SPM® FSR System utilizes interlocking synthetic loops strung along the
length of the flow line and attached to critical points of the flow line through
smaller loops.
This assembly is then anchored to a suitable structural tie-down. Ribs and spines
of the system transmit separation forces to the anchor point and restrict flow line
movement and help dissipate energy.
Single Duty SPM® FSR System
The SPM® FSR system is available in a single duty rating, suitable for piping sizes
up to 4” with a pressure rating of 15,000 psi. The system is flexible enough for a
variety of flow line configurations and can be easily transported. All models are
suitable for energized fluid, CO2 and nitrogen operations.
Demonstrated Performance
The SPM® FSR System has been used in both onshore and offshore applications
around the world since 2000 to increase safety during pumping operations. It has
been tested and honored by the industry for its innovation and performance.
• “Best Mechanical Engineering Innovation Award” from the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers in 2002
• Accepted by WorkSafeBC (the Workers’ Compensation Board of British
Columbia) as in compliance with a government mandate that flow line piping
systems be anchored and restrained during well testing or stimulation
operations

Other Safety Products
Safety Hammer®
The Safety Hammer ® union assembly device promotes a safer
work environment by reducing the dangers associated with
assembling hammer union connections using a sledgehammer.
The Safety Hammer ® device is composed of two main parts: a
high strength alloy steel adaptor and pneumatic hammer. The
steel adaptor can be changed out as needed to fit different
union sizes. In order for the Safety Hammer ® device to function
as intended, Weir recommends 29 SCFM per device, with an air
pressure of 90 psi and 1/2” air supply hose size. The Safety
Hammer ® device will make up and break down the hammer
union depending on its orientation.
To use the Safety Hammer ® device, simply hand-tighten the
hammer union connection until the wing nut ceases to rotate.
Slide the Safety Hammer ® adapter over the wing nut so that it bears against one
of the three lugs. Orient so that the impact tool striking the wing nut lug will
tighten the connection. Apply a turning force to the gooseneck handle until the
wing nut ceases to rotate. Squeeze the trigger and continue to apply a slight
turning force to the gooseneck handle. The hammer union will be quickly
tightened.
