easy-e Cryogenic Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: Fisher easy-e cryogenic valves are engineered for controlling liquids and gases at cryogenic temperatures as low as -198°C (-325°F), primarily used in chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries, especially for liquefied natural gas services.
Valve Types: The product line includes ET-C, EWT-C, and EZ-C valves. ET-C and EWT-C are pressure-balanced, while EZ-C is unbalanced. These valves belong to the easy-e family, recognized for their versatility and specialized flow characteristics.
Key Features:
  • Cryogenic Seal Ring: Ensures excellent performance at low temperatures.
  • Stable Control: Cage guiding minimizes vibration and noise.
  • Cost Efficiency: Hardened stainless steel trim enhances wear resistance, allowing for smaller actuators.
  • Piping Economy: Expanded end connections reduce the need for line swages.
  • Rugged Metal Seat: Provides reliable shutoff without periodic lapping.
  • Fugitive Emission Protection: Optional ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems help prevent fluid loss and reduce emissions.
  • Easy Maintenance: Quick-change trim reduces disassembly time.
Specifications:
  • Configurations: ET-C and EWT-C have balanced valve plugs, while EZ-C has an unbalanced plug.
  • Valve Sizes: ET-C and EWT-C range from NPS 3 to 12X8, while EZ-C ranges from NPS 1 to 4.
  • End Connections: Available in CL150, 300, or 600 raised-face flanges.
  • Maximum Inlet Pressure: Varies by valve size and configuration, with specific limits outlined in the document.
  • Material Temperature Capabilities: ET-C and EWT-C: -198 to 66°C; EZ-C: -198 to 149°C.
Materials: Constructed from stainless steel (CF8M) with various trim materials for different applications. Detailed tables of trim materials and configurations are provided.
Applications: Suitable for high-pressure and high-flow-rate applications, offering options for noise attenuation and cavitation protection.
Testing and Certification: The valves have undergone extensive cryogenic testing and are SIL3 capable, certified by exida Consulting LLC.
Specifications: The document details pressure ratings for various port diameters and temperatures, noting that pressure drops exceeding CL600 ratings are marked with an asterisk. It specifies that the EZ-C valve should not be used in flow down service, including on-off applications, and that pressure drops at intermediate temperatures can be interpolated.
Valve Dimensions: Tables 9 and 10 provide detailed dimensions for Fisher ET-C, EWT-C, and EZ-C valves, including raised-face flange dimensions and stem diameters for different valve sizes (NPS), in both millimeters and inches.
ENVIRO-SEAL Packing Systems: Figure 5 illustrates the ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems, showing components such as PTFE packing, graphite ULF packing, springs, anti-extrusion rings, and packing boxes.
Disclaimer: The document includes a disclaimer stating that the information is for informational purposes only and does not constitute warranties or guarantees. It emphasizes that responsibility for product selection, use, and maintenance lies with the purchaser and end user.

easy-e Cryogenic Valves-1

Product Bulletin easy-e Cryogenic Valves Fisher™ easy-e™ Cryogenic Sliding-Stem Control Valves Fisher easy-e cryogenic valves are globe-style, single-port, valves featuring stainless steel construction materials and fabricated extension bonnets. Fisher ET-C and EWT-C valves are pressure-balanced, whereas the Fisher EZ-C valve is an unbalanced design. These cryogenic valves are designed to provide throttling or on-off control of liquids and gases at cryogenic temperatures as low as -198_C (-325_F). When required, these rugged valves can reliably provide tight shutoff for special applications within the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries, such as certain liquefied natural gas services. The high-capacity ET-C and EWT-C valves with pressure-balanced trim allow the use of smaller, lower-cost actuators, reducing installed costs in high-pressure and high-flow-rate applications. The easy-e Valve Family These valves are part of the versatile easy-e family of industrial control valves. Special features include: TYPICAL FISHER easy-e CYROGENIC VALVE WITH EXTENSION BONNET n EZ-C: Interchangeable, restricted-capacity trims and n ET-C and EWT-C: Different cage/plug styles provide particular flow characteristics for highly-specialized applications. The standard cage comes in two different flow characteristics: J equal percentage and J linear. full-sized trims match a variety of process flow demands for highly-specialized applications. The standard plug is designed with three different flow characteristics: J equal percentage, J linear, and J quick-ope
