3 Top Entry Valves “Fire-Safe” Requirements Two seat and several seal arrangements are available to address valves in applications where performance during and immediately after a fire are a concern. The #7 (PTFE) and “A” (RPTFE) seat configurations offer “tested” fire-safe performance. Flexible graphite in the form of die-cut, die-formed or spiral wound gaskets are available for bonnet seals. Die-formed Grafoil® in various configurations provide the stem seals. Abrasive & Erosive Services “Soft Seated” valves for abrasive services feature seat inserts completely confined by metallic components....

Extended bonnets are standard for all class 600 valves. • These bonnets provide excellent performance in high temperature or semi cryogenic applications. • This bonnet design places the stem seals further away from the process flow thereby maintaining temperatures...

Following a detailed testing program it has been found that the double stack of RPTFE Chevron style packings clearly outperformed the other contenders evaluated. In applications where this material is acceptable, it would be the hands-down choice. However, when resistance to high temperatures is a must, such as in a valve requiring firesafe performance, then the Grafoil® packings must be considered. With any of the styles of grafoil packings tested it is reasonable to expect that over the anticipated life of the packing (100,000 cycles) two (2) packing adjustments will be required. From the testing,...

Features: • Two types of the Fugitive Emissions Bonnet are available. The first type intended for manual operation is not live loaded. Testing has shown that live loading only becomes necessary in high cycle applications. This leads to the second type, the live loaded version. This second type not only is more appropriate for unattended automated operations and high cycle applications, it is also well suited for applications involving thermal cycling. • Two styles of packings are available for the Fugitive Emissions bonnet. The primary offering is a double stack of RPTFE Chevrons. The second...

18 Steam Jacketed Top Entry Valves SConbraco’s Apollo® Top Entry Ball Valves are ideally suited for jacketed applications. The top entry concept allows for continued access to stem packings and valve internals for ease of maintenance without disturbing the jacket itself or removing the valve from the pipeline. Partial jacketing (Option “PJ”) may be used on standard valves. Partial jacketing is applied just to the center section of the valve and does not incorporate the neck area or flanges of the valve. It is generally specified to allow the use of standard flanges and retain conventional flange...
