3.4 Valve Operation

Valve operation shall generally be in accordance with the Valve Data Sheets and th e
following table. The table is for Guidance only. The VENDOR shall guarantee that the
maximum force to operate the valve shall not exceed 350N under ful l differential
pressure. (Operating torque is defined as the force required to operate the valve
under all conditions except "breakaway torque".) In achieving this figure the
maximum lever length shall be 450mm, and the maximum handwheel diameter shall
be 750mm.

Consideration should be given to the "breakaway" torque (Break away torque is

defined as the force required to unseat the valve in its first 10% of operator travel.)
and the seating forces under maximum differential pressure. In no case shall t his
force exceed 350 N. If any of the above criteria cannot be achieved by using a
lever/handwheel then a gearbox shall be fitted.

Lever operated valves shall be fitted with removable levers which shall fit parallel to
the pipe when the valve is in the open position . Stems with a square top section are
not acceptable. They shall be of th e elongated pattern to prevent mis-orientation.
Levers shall be rigidly constructed from carbon steel and a clockwise motion of the
lever shall close t he valve. Direction of closure shall always be indicated on the
valves .

Gear operated valves shall have full enclosed rigid construction gearboxes that are
capable of withstanding heavy use and are fully protected from an aggressive
atmosphere and permit lubrication and maintenance. Clockwise rotation of the
handwheel shall close the valve. Direction of closure shall be ind icat ed on all valves.

Components manufactured from flake graphite (grey) cast iron or aluminum alloys
are not acceptable (ductile I nodular cast iron is acceptable).

As a general guide the following valves shall be gear operated:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR GLOBE AND CHECK VALVES

14.3 Identification of Material

All special items shall be "tagged" with a corrosion resistant metal plate, which shall
be permanently and securely attached to the special item.

The "tag" number (e.g. SP-0000) and VENDOR'S serial number and purchasers
code number shall be stamped on the plate in letters not less than 6 mm high.

15. ACTUATION OF VALVES

The total design, manufacture and testing of t he actuators and associated
components shall be completely within the VENDOR'S responsibility.

The act uator shall be supplied in accordance with the instru ment data sheets and this
specification.

The valve torque used shall be those generated by the full differential pressure of the
pipeline across the valve. Actuator minimum torque values shall be 2.0 times the
required valve torque at maximum opera ting design conditions fo r all ESD and BDV
valves and 1.5 times for all other valves . These requirements to be discussed further
at bid stage. The valve and actuation torque valves shall be listed at the bid stage.

The actuator speed shall be controlled in accordance with the requirements shown
on the valve actuator data sheets.

The actuator shall position the ball of the valve to accuracy of approximately 0.25
degrees on the open position and approximately 0.50 degree on the closed position.

The actuator shall be mounted directly on the valve without an extension. The
VENDOR shall supply, if requ ired, a mounting plate or mounting assembly for the
actuator. The VENDOR shall confirm that the maximum actuator torque does not
cause permanent deformation or damage. All actuated valves should be self-
supporting regardless of actuator orientation.

End stops shall be provided. Mounting kits shall be designed to take account of the
full reaction torque/forces available from the actuator.

Hydraulic System clean liness shall be in accordance with NAS 1638.

Actuators shall be supplied with a sub-panel. The sub-panel shall generally be

mounted on the valve, but remotely where access is restricted. Actuator assembly
sub-panels will contain solenoid valves , tubing etc.

16. HEALTH, SAFETY, AND THE ENVIRONEMT

The VENDOR shall be required to demonstrate the existence of an adequate
Management System, which will be applied during the performance of the work.
The VENDOR shall demonstrate (in the form of Health and Safety Plan) that he has
identified all com ponents and systems (with in the design of his sub-suppliers equipment)
and all operations (e.g. testing, installation, maintenance, commissioning, operation and
decommissioning) that involve actions that may pose a safety hazard to the operator and
others exposed.
The VENDOR shall demonstrate (in the form of an Environmental Plan) that he has
identified any substances or actions that may pose a threat to the environment and how,
in the event of an operati onal accident discharge, such an event can be managed.
All VENDORS are requested to offer any measures that can be taken to strive towards
the environmental cha llenge of minimizing discharges and emissions, and adopt top
quartile technology, at the bid stage prior to optimization and purchase order placement.
VENDORS are expected to identify any emission sources and, if available, offer
alternative means of reducing these emissions.
