SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDROGEN SERVICE

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 These requirements are applicable for valves used in Hydrogen service. These are in
addition to the requirements described in "Technical Notes for Valves" Spec. No. 6-44-
0052, and shall be read in conjunction with this specification.

1.2 All cast valve flanges & bodies with flange rating of Class 900 or greater shall be
examined in accordance with paragraphs 7.2 through 7.5 of Appendix-VII of ASME
SEC-VIII, DIV.1, regardless of casting quality factor.

1.3 Body / bonnet / cover joints & stuffing box of all valves shall have low emission. One
valve per metallurgy, per rating, per size shall be helium leak tested as per ASME Sec.V,
Subsection A, Article 10 (Detector Probe Technique), Appendix IV at a minimum of
25% of the allowable (rated) cold working pressure. Selection of valves for helium leak
test shall be at random. Test duration shall be as follows:

Test Duration in Minutes


Pressure Class
Nominal Size
Upto 300 600 800 & 900 1500 2500

Upto 2" 3 6 9 12 12

3" to 6" 6 9 12 15 18

8" to 16" 9 9 12 15 18

18" to 24" 9 12 15 18 21

The valve shall show no leakage. No leakage is defined as a total leakage rate of less than
0.0001 ml/s of helium.

2.0 Only normalized and tempered material shall be used in the following specifications:

Castings A217 Gr.WC1, A217 Gr.WC4, A217 Gr.WC5, A217 Gr.WC6, A217
Gr.WC9, A217 Gr.C5, A217 Gr.C12

Forgings A182 Gr.F11 C1.2

3.0 CS & AS VALVES

3.1 Bend test and Magnetic Particle inspection of the entire surface of body and bonnet
casting shall be in accordance with ASTM A217. Supplementary requirement S3 & S4
evaluation of magnetic particle, inspection shall be in accordance with MSS-SP-53
except that no linear discontinuities shall be allowed.

3.2 The Brinell hardness of heat treated casting shall not exceed 200 BHN for carbon steel &
225 for alloy steel.

3.3 Repair to defective casting shall be outlined in writing to the purchaser before repair
starts. Repair method to be approved prior to welding.

3.4 Casting shall be preheated to a minimum of 400°F prior to welding and all Chromium-
Molybdenum alloys shall be postweld heat treated after welding is complete. Stress
relieving is essential for welds.

3.5 Carbon steel shall be normalised and alloy steels shall be normalised & tempered.

3.6 Dye Penetrant test of welds shall be in accordance with ASTM B165 Procedure B-2.
Interpretation as per Appendix-8 of ASME-VIII Div. 1.

3.7 The tensile stress for AS shall be less than 100,000 psi.

3.8 Charpy V-notch impact testing is to be done for valve material (average 20 ft-lb for set of
3 [minimum value 15 ft-lb] at 30°F).

3.9 For radiography and acceptance criteria for valve castings, refer Cl. 4.2.

4.0 SS VALVES

4.1 Valve casting shall be in solution heat treated and pickled condition.

4.2 Critical body and bonnet casing section typically defined by ASME B 16.34 shall be
radiographed and shall meet ASTM E446 (upto 2" thick) Category A, B & CA Level 2,
Category CB, OC & CD Level 3, Category D, B & F Level 0. For wall thickness 2" to
4.5" comparable plates of ASTM E186 shall be used. ASTM E94 and ASTM E142 shall
be used for recommended practice & controlling quality of radiography as guide. The
entire surface of all castings shall be dye-penetrant inspected after pickling.

4.3 Welds shall be 100% radiographed and evaluated in accordance with paragraph 344.5 of
ASME B31.3 with a minimum casting quality factor of 0.95. Dye Penetration test shall
be as per ASTM E165 Procedure B-2, Interpretation as per Appendix-8 of ASME-VIII
Div.l.
