Designed With an Eye on Your Bottom Line

In-house computer-aided design and finite-element method
capabilities give our engineering staff powerful tools to
develop reliable valves for critical service applications. CAD
generated graphic models undergo FEM analysis to deter-
mine that stresses are within acceptable limits. Dynamic
simulation of valve operation also helps assure reliability of
Edward valve performance.
Prototyping is just as important, and rigorous proof testing
is a mainstay of Edward valve design. Before we approve a
valve for production, we put it through hundreds, even thou-
sands, of cycles to demonstrate that performance and seal-
ing integrity will be maintained in service. Transducers relay
data from test assemblies to computers for further analysis.
Laboratory simulation of critical services includes a steam
generator and superheater, designed for 2700 psi and
1050°F. This flexible system allows testing of prototype
valves under both low pressure and high pressure conditions.
In addition to prototype testing, this system has been used
for applications such as: friction and wear tests of valve trim
materials in hot water and steam environments; qualification
tests of new or redesigned valves; and proof testing of new
valve gaskets and valve stem packings.
Before we make the first production unit, that valve has
already been through a rigorous program to assure long
life, s imple maintenance, and dependable performance for
the lowest cost over the life of the valve. Again, people play
important roles in design. The Flowserve product engineering
department pools well over 200 years of valve experience.

Testing Beyond Code Requirements
At Flowserve Edward Valves, quality assurance starts with
meeting code requirements. Valves are manufactured to
ANSI B16.34 (Standard, Limited and Special Classes), includ-
ing standards for:
• Minimum wall thickness of valve body.
• Body, bonnet and body-bonnet bolting to specified ASTM
material standards.
• Hydrostatic shell testing at 1.5 times the 100°F rating of the
valve.
From there, Flowserve Edward Valves goes on to exceed the
code, with higher test standards and an additional battery
of tests performed on every type of valve we make, using
in-house test facilities and personnel to assure expert quality
control. Edward Valves’ quality assurance program includes:
Non-Destructive Examination
• All NDE personnel are qualified in accordance with ASNT-
TC-1A guidelines.
• All castings are visually examined per MSS SP-55.
• The first five body castings from every pattern are 100% Welding
radiographed to verify casting quality. All personnel and procedures are qualified in accordance with
Hydrostatic Testing ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX.
• The seat-leakage criteria — no visible leakage for forged Additional Standard Tests for Specific Valves
steel and 2ml/hour/inch of nominal valve size for cast steel Includes heavy-wall examination on large body castings.
— are stricter than the allowed leakage rate of MSS SP-61, We have only listed a few of the Flowserve Edward Valves
which is 10ml/hour/inch of nominal valve size. standard tests that exceed industry requirements. Also,
• Seat-leakage test is performed at 110% of 100°F rating. Edward Valves has the facilities and the expertise to meet
additional quality-assurance standards, as required for the
Statistical Process Control application.
Requirements are clearly stated and measurements are taken
to determine conformance to those requirements. “Quality”
equals conformance to requirements.

Actuators – Forged Steel
Flowserve Edward Valves supplies actuators for Edward forged and cast steel valves when
alternate sources of power are required to open, close or maintain an intermediate position in
the valve.
The most commonly used actuators are: electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, manual gear, or a
stored energy gas hydraulic used in nuclear applications. Most Edward valves can be equipped
with an actuator, if required. Where specific or special customer requirements are needed,
Flowserve engineering and expertise with all types of actuators can be applied and adapted to
meet the most rigid codes.
The following information on page 70 will allow Flowserve engineers to correctly size and
select the proper motor actuator for your application.

Installation Guidelines Maximum Check Valve Orientation Limits
Unlike stop valves, which can be installed in
any position with little or no effect on perfor-
mance, most check and stop-check valves
have limitations as to their installed orienta-
tion. Although the normal installation is in
a horizontal or vertical line (depending on
valve type), check and stop-check valves can
be installed in other orientations. It should
be noted, however, that valves installed in
other than the normal positions may exhibit a
degradation of performance, service life and
resistance to sticking, depending on the flow
conditions and cleanliness of the line fluid.
For maximum reliability, it is recommended
that piston-lift check valves and stop-check
valves be installed with flow axis horizontal
(vertical inlet and horizontal outlet for angle
valves) with the bonnet above the valve in a
vertical plane. Following are maximum out-
of-position orientations that may be used for
less critical applications and which should
never be exceeded.

However, installed positions in which dirt

It should be understood that the information
given in the section of this catalog entitled
Flow Performance is based on traditional
horizontal orientations. For other orienta-
tions, the pressure drop and flow required
for full lift may be affected. In addition, seat
tightness, particularly at low differential
pressures, may be adversely affected.
Orientation restrictions may also exist for
power-actuated stop-check valves. Most linear
valve actuators are designed to be mounted
upright and nearly vertical, although they can
usually be modified for mounting in any posi-
tion. When selecting a stop-check valve and
power actuator, be sure to specify the mount-
ing position desired if not vertical and upright.
1.3.1 Adjacent Flow Disturbances
Check valves, like other valve types, are gener-
ally tested for performance and flow capacity
in long, straight-pipe runs. Flow coefficients
obtained from these tests are then used to
predict the flow rate or pressure drop that will
be experienced in actual applications. The

conditions. Since space limitations involved

Previously published data have indicated
that flow disturbances, particularly up-
stream disturbances, may significantly
affect check valve performance. It has been
reported that valve flow capacity may be
significantly reduced as compared to that
measured in straight-pipe tests, and there
have been strong suggestions that such

Users who already have check valves in liquid
flow lines that emit loud “slams” when they
close should be aware that the noise is prob-
ably associated with pressure surges that
could lead to fatigue problems in the valve,
piping or other components. Where the exist-
ing check valve is a piston-lift check or stop-
check valve, the solution could be to add a
tilting-disk check valve in series with the
existing check valve to gain the advantages
of both valve types. Where the existing valve
is a swing check valve, replacement by a
tilting-disk check valve might be considered.

Several alternatives may be considered:
• Either 90°-bonnet or angle-type stop-check Disk Skirt
or piston-lift check valves may be furnished
with a special disk with an extended “skirt”
as illustrated in Figure 15A. This skirt
increases flow resistance at low flow rates,
producing additional lifting force to help normal

Of course, the skirt also reduces the CV of
the valve somewhat when it is fully open
and increases pressure drop at maximum
flow. Nevertheless, a special disk sometimes
solves difficult high turndown problems. A
