What qualifies a valve as heavy duty?

Heavy duty valves are designed for applications involving high pressures, temperatures, frequent cycling, vibration, or corrosive fluids. They have thicker walls and parts than standard valves.

What materials are used in heavy duty valve construction?

Typical materials include stainless steel alloys, carbon steel, cast steel, bronze, nickel alloys, and cobalt-based alloys designed to handle extreme conditions.

What types of end connections are available?

End connections like flanges, butt welds, socket welds, threaded, and specialty couplings suit various piping systems. Rating and materials match the pipeline.

What types of seals and packing are used?

Heavy duty valves utilise solid PTFE, chloroprene rubber, viton, compressed asbestos fiber, and graphite packing along with gaskets made of spiral wound metal and kammprofile.

How are heavy duty valves actuated?

Manual actuation using handwheels, gears, and chainwheels. Automated actuation uses pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators often with fail-safe functions.

What are typical pressure ratings?

Pressure ratings vary widely but often fall between 1500 psi to 4500 psi. However, some special metal seated valves are rated beyond 10,000 psi.

What testing is done to ensure proper function?

Testing involves shell, seat, and backseat leakage checks, seal validation, high pressure resistance, temperature cycling, vibration, and flow performance.

What certifications are required?

Certifications can include MSS SP-70 for valve testing, NACE MR0175 for corrosion resistance, and various plant specifications like Shell SPE or API standards.

What are common applications?

Oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, power generation, steam systems, and other extreme pressure, temperature, or fluid conditions.

How often is maintenance required?

Routine inspection for leaks and smooth operation should occur regularly. Timing varies greatly depending on usage but 2-5 years is typical for overhaul of internals.

The BLX V100E Series is an Electro-Pneumatic control unit that allows the Actuator to incrementally adjust the Valve's position between the fully open and closed cycle. Product variants are available for spring return and double acting setups with feedback and safety settings. Ask our team today about how the V100E can help with your process requirements.
