Valve Material

Welcome back. In this section, I will give you an overview of valve material. The
choice of material is usually based on fluid properties such as pressure,
temperature, corrosion resistance, abrasion, and also on valve manufacturing
methods.
ASME B16.34 – Standard for Flanged, Threaded and Welding End valves gives
the list of material that can be used to manufacture the valve.
• Carbon steel
• Alloy Steel
• Stainless Steel (300 & 400 Series)
• Non- Ferrous material such as Brass, Aluminum Bronze, Monel, Stellite,
Hetelloy C are the most common material type that used to
manufacture various parts of the valve.
Valve bill of material can be segregated into three groups, material for body &
bonnet, material for trim parts such as disk, seat, stem and material for
external parts such as Hand wheel, lever, and bolting material.

Trim External Parts


Body /Bonnet
(Disk, Seat, Stem) Hand wheel, Stud
•Carbon Steel •400 Series SS •Aluminum
•Low Alloy Steel •Duplex SS •Cast Iron
•Stainless Steel •Monel •Low alloy Steel
•Titanium •Non – ferrous
alloy (Ni,Cu,Al)
•Elastomers
(PTFE, EPDM,
Viton

I am holding the slide for a moment, have look on the list of the commonly
used material.

Material for - Body /Bonnet


ASTM A 105 - Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping
Applications is the most famous material grade that used to manufacture
forged valve.
ASTM A 216 is a Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Castings, Suitable for
Fusion Welding, for High-Temperature Service. ASTM A216 grade WCB is the
most popular valve body material and used for non-corrosive liquids, and
gasses. WCB stand for weldable cast body. Carbon steel material can be used
up to 426 degrees centigrade. Above that temperature, alloy steel is used.
Most common alloy steel grades are A182 and A217. ASTM A182 is Standard
Specification for Forged or Rolled Alloy and Stainless Steel Pipe Flanges, Forged
Fittings, Valves and Parts for High-Temperature Service.
ASTM A217 is Standard Specification for Martensitic Stainless, and Alloy Steel
Castings, for Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-Temperature Service.
For low-temperature applications, ASTM A350 is used that is a Standard
Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Forgings, Requiring Notch
Toughness Testing for Piping Components.
Most common stainless steel grades are A182, A351, and A352.
ASTM A351 is a Standard Specification for Austenitic Castings, for Pressure-
Containing Parts. ASTM A 352 is a Standard Specification for Ferritic and
Martensitic, Steel Castings, for Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for Low-
Temperature Service.
This is the end of this lecture. In next lecture, you will learn about material of
trim, gasket and handwheel.

Material of construction – Trim


Welcome back. In this lecture, you will learn about material of trim, gasket and
handwheel.
• Trim material such as Disk, seat, stem, back sheet and sleeves are
grouped together and assigned one number called Trim No. or
Combination number. This will element the requirement of defining
material grade for each component.
• API 600 & 602 gives the list of Trim material that can be used in the
valve.
• Most common trim grades are ASTM A410(13Cr), ASTM A316, Alloy 20
(19Cr-29Ni), and Monel (CuNi Alloy).
Here you can see the simplified chart of the trim material. Against trim
number, material for seat, disc, backseat and stem is specified. This make
easier to order the valve as you just have to specified trim no based on the
requirements and need not to specify the material for each of the part. This list
is included in resource section.
Bolting Material
• ASME B16.34 gives the list of bolting material under table 1 group 4
material. Most carbon steel and alloy steel valve come with ASTM A 193
grades.

Gasket Materials
All body bonnet type valve design used a gasket to achieved sealing of body-
bonnet joint. Spiral wound gasket without an inner and outer ring or metal
jacketed gasket are used in the most valves. High-pressure valves are equipped
with ring type gasket.

Handwheel Materials
Selection of manual actuators such as hand wheel and lever depends on cost
and environment conditions in which valve is going to used. Most valves come
with carbon steel handwheel and lever. However, valve use in a highly
corrosive environment such as offshore platform may use aluminium. Most
lever type valve is fitted with elastomer cap for proper gripping while
operating the valve.
This is end of the section. In this section, you have learned about commonly
used valve material and the identification of trim material based on trim
number.
In next section, you will learn about standard and specification used to design,
manufacture and testing of valve.
