Ball Valves Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Classification

The ball valves is divided into floating ball valve and trunnion ball valve according to the ball support in the bottom trunnion or seat.

The ball valves is divided into metal seal ball valve and soft seal ball valve according to the surface of sealing material.
The ball valves is divided into top entry, side entry and full welded body type according to the body structure.
The ball valves is divided into 1 pc, 2pcs, 3pcs body in side entry ball valve

Usage and feature
Usage
Series floating ball valve and trunnion type ball valve are used in oilfield, chemical-industrial, power-station for cutting and connecting the pipe.

Working theory and configuration direction
1. Series gate valve are designed and made under standard API 6D tested under standard API598.
2. Handle moving clockwise by 90 will close the pore of ball is vertical of the pipe and cut it. As anti-clock will connect the pipe.
3. The ball valves mainly include floating ball valve and trunnion type ball valve two assortment.
4. The sealing adopts soft and hard two method, picking the suitable sealing fitting as the fact.
5. According to the working situations, this ball can use the fire-safety structure. The fire-proof is designed and executed under standard API607.
The request of installation
1. To install any valves must be sure the security and easy to operate, repair, and maintance.
2. The stem must be vertical installed in the aclinic pipes.
3. Keep the same directions of medium flowing and valve body marked direction. If without mark, please install by valve principle. Do not install on the wrong way.
4. Before the installation. checking the style requested. The inside and outside of the valves are clear or not. the valve is in the good condition or not. The sealing face is damaged or not.
5. When install the flanged ends valve. must keep the consistent and reasonable clearance of the valve’s flange and the pipe’s flange. Do not appear the wrong link, crossing link or opened. Put the washer in the middle of flange. The bolt keep tie and balance. After fix the screw. checking the clearance of the parts, which kept the same.

Maintain and protection
1. Put the valve in the draught place with cover of two side. For the long time store, smearing the anti-rust grease in the regulated time.
2. Must open the ball when the valve stored, that is for protecting the sealing face.
3. Clear the valve before installation.
4. Please check the pressure, diameter before installation that will avoid wrong install.
5. The valve can be installed in any place except it is specialized. Which is easy to work and fix.
6. The driver must keep cleaning. Using lubricant the regulated time.

Fault, reason and fix

Fault Reason Fix measure
Leakage of the packing
  1. 1.       The gland is not tie
  2. 2.       Not enough packing loop
  3. 3.       Packing beyond the time or wrong store
    1. 1.       Tie the nut
    2. 2.       Add the loop
    3. 3.       Replace the filling (the loop must be cross and apart)
Leakage of the sealing room 4. Attached dirt or the sealing loop damaged 4. Clear the dirt or replace sealing parts
Leakage of the gasket 5.  Bolt are not tie 5. Tie the screw that enable the bonnet tie and raised
The driver device is not flexible or the closer can be notopened 6.  Packing is too tie7.  The gland fixing is incline8.  The driver device attainted or connector damaged

  1. 9.        The stem bent
6.  Loosen the nut on the gland

  1. 1.       Correct the gland
  2. 2.       Unpack and repair the driver device and connector.
  3. 3.       Correct the stem
