for line sizes smaller than 1inch in which case the appropriate line size body shall
be used. The valve trim shall be 316 stainless steel minimum.

4.1.3

Globe or eccentric rotary plug type valves shall be considered the first option. The
type of internals viz single seat, double seat, cage, LodB, stellited, etc., shall be
carefully selected to suit the particular application.

4.1.4

Ball, flangeless eccentric rotary, flangeless butterfly based on 60 maximum

opening, angle, etc. type, of valve shall be used depending on the particular
application subject to PDVSA approval.

4.1.5

maximum operating conditions. The finally selected item shall ensure that the
valve operates between 17 and 90 percent opening in accordance with I.S.A.
S75.11. The valve shall also operate without any cavitation and produce a noise

The control valve shall be single seated in tight shut off services. The valve
leakage class shall be as per ANSI B16.104/FCI standard 702. An extract from
the standard is listed below. The seating shall be soft seat or metal to metal to suit
the process operating conditions.

4.1.8

The speed of response of the valve shall be carefully examined to ensure

compliance with the particular application requirements. For eg. valves in
compressor surge system; tanker and other pipeline loading systems are required
to complete their full travel in 1 to 5 seconds. However caution must be exercised
in determining the full open to full close duration to ensure that there are no
occurrences of surge pressures due to sudden valve closures.

4.1.9

Valves with liners on body and trims with vulcanised liners shall be subject to
careful analysis and PDVSA approval.

4.1.10

Bypass valves shall only be installed after a HAZOP study has been performed.
Block valves and bypass manifold shall be in accordance with I.S.A. standard RP
75.06.

4.1.11

Three way control valves shall be used, subject to PDVSA approval.

4.1.12

Valves used on emergency shut off service applications shall be dedicated solely
to that service only and shall not be used for normal process control purposes.
