Metal Seated Ball Valve Leakage Class

Ansi class iv shutoff is the industry standard.

Metal seated ball valve leakage class.

Class ii valve leakage classifications. It is the kind of leakage rate you can expect from a valve with a metal shut off disc and metal seat. Class i is also know as dust tight and can refer to metal or resilient seated valves. Valve leakage classifications class i valve leakage classifications.

Class ii valve leakage classifications. It is the kind of leakage rate you can expect from a valve with a metal shut off disc and metal seat. For zero leakage metal seated valves api 6d iso 5208 rate a or api 598 soft seated zero leakage criteria can be specified such as triple offset metal. Class iv is also known as metal to metal.

A leakage rate a is intended to apply for soft seat e g elastomeric or polymeric valve closure elements. Class iv is also known as metal to metal. C leakage rates d possibly will apply for metal seated check valves. Cass i is also known as dust tight and can refer to metal or resilient seated valves.

0 5 leakage of full open valve capacity. Class vl is known as a soft seat classification. Class i is also known as dust tight and can refer to metal or resilient seated valves. Specifically engineered for the most demanding high pressure and temperature steam applications flow tek s series m4 severe service ball valve is the culmination of advanced technology rigorous testing and decades of industry experience and a proud addition to the bray product line designed with long term performance and zero leakage in mind the series m4 is equipped with a robust.

The ansi standard fci 70 2. Identical to class ii iii and iv in construction and design intent but no actual shop test is made. You might get better than class iv shutoff from a metal seated ball valve for a few cycles but not over the long term in our experience. Soft seat valves are those where the seat or shut off disc or both are made from some kind of resilient material such as teflon.

In fact even for metal seat valves the api 598 leak acceptance criteria for metal seated valves excluding check valves allows less leakage than fci 70 2 isa s75 19 class vi en60534 4. Metal seated ball valves are rarely bidirectional sealing but they do tend to have floating rather than trunnion mounted balls. Intended for double port or balanced singe port valves with a metal piston ring seal and metal to metal seats. Ansi class v the ansi class v shutoff is defined as 0 0005 cm2 min per inch of orifice diameter per pound per square inch psi.

Class vl is known as a soft seat classification. Is also know as dust tight and can refer to metal or resilient seated valves. B leakage rates b possibly will apply for metal seated valves on more critical services.
