This maintenance manual has been prepared

to help you obtain many more years of

satisfactory service from your Y-pattern globe

and check valves. It will also help you restore your

valves to the best working condition with a minimum

of time and expense.

Velan valves are designed and manufactured based

on many years of research and are constantly being

improved. Before beginning any major work, we

recommend that you carefully read this booklet at

least once to understand the valve's physical

construction. If you do not understand the reason

for the service problem, we suggest that you get in

touch with your local Velan representative, or call

the Velan Field Engineering Service Department at the

Head Office for technical assistance.

Velan Y-Pattern Bonnetless Globe Valves are

one-piece forged steel valves designed for high

pressure-temperature service. The valves have

guided Stellite 6 discs. Stellite, a cobalt, chromium

and tungsten alloy, has an average Brinell hardness

of 400, and is generally accepted by the valve industry

as an ideal hardfacing material. However, the seat

and disc are not absolutely safe from damage. If, for

example, a particle of hard foreign matter becomes

trapped between the seat and the disc and is then

pressed into the seat in service, damage could occur.

2.1 RECEIVING INSPECTION

Valves must be examined to establish that nodamage occurred during transportation. If anydamage is found, make sure that it does notimpair the operation of the valve. Seriousdamage should be reported to your local Velanrepresentative or to the Velan Service Departmentat the Head Office so that arrangement for repairscan be made.

2.2 STORAGE

Valves can be stored at any temperature in asheltered area but must be protected fromcontamination by dirt or the elements. The valve is shipped with end protectors on the inlet andoutlet which should stay in place until the valve is ready to be installed. Before installation,remove the end protectors and check theconnections for cleanliness. Visible foreign matter must be removed from end connections of weld-end valves. The weld ends must becleaned with a suitable solvent, such as acetoneor alcohol. Do not use solvents containingfluoride or chloride.

2.3 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Globe valves are usually installed with the inletbelow the valve seat. For particularly severethrottling service, we recommend that the valve be installed so that the flow enters through the top of the seat and goes down through it. This maintains the valve in a more stable position,minimizes wear and reduces the potential noise level. Valve operation is also easier because lesstorque is required to close the valve. However, itis to be noted that packing rings would besubjected to line pressure in this automation.

Globe valves should be installed and welded into the pipeline with the disc in the fully closedposition to prevent damage to the valve duringinstallation. Also, leaving the disc in the fullyclosed position helps prevent weld spatter fromfalling directly onto the mating faces of the seatand disc.

All Velan Y-Pattern Valves are tested in the factoryfor zero leakage on seat to the requirements ofASME B16.34. If any leakage occurs, it is becausethe seat has been deformed during welding on

line, foreign contaminants have been lodged in theseat interface or the motor has been set in the fieldto overthrust and has damaged the disc/seat, or ifset to under thrust, the valve would not close100% resulting in disc/seat stellite surface to bewire drawn (steam cuts). As a general rule, globevalves should be closed firmly, when welding in-line and closed lightly, when heat treatment iscarried out. The preferred orientation of a globevalve is upright. The valve may be installed inother orientations, but any deviation from verticalis a compromise. Installation upside down is notrecommended because of possible dirt build-up inthe bonnet and backseat.

NOTE: On insulation, the yoke must not beinsulated as temperature build-up in this areamight cause possible damage to the upper works(e.g. motor actuator, gear actuator, etc.), it alsoblocks access to packing bolts inspection andretorquing.

WARNING: During installation, welding andconstruction stage, the valve mid-section aroundthe packing flange and stem should be protectedat all times, as foreign debris from welding,grinding, etc., can fall in between the tapered areaof the packing flange and stem, causing extensivedamage to stem and associated parts during valvecycling. In any case, prior to cycling, the areabetween the stem, packing flange and glandbushing must be thoroughly cleaned off of allforeign matter.

2.4 INSTRUCTION FOR CHECK VALVES

All Velan inclined piston check and stop-checkvalves, when installed in vertical or near verticalline, should have fluid flow upward and the angleof incline of the line not more than 5º past thevertical in the direction of the bonnet. Wheninstalled in horizontal or near horizontal line, thevalve bonnet should be up and the angle ofincline of the line should not be more than 5ºbelow the horizontal. See Figure 2.4 for incline androll angle allowable. Consult your Velanrepresentative concerning installation other thanthat mentioned above.

All check valves must be installed with the inlet indirection of arrow. Placing a check valve in theopposite dierction to flow will prevent normaloperation of the valve.

III WARNINGS

FOR SAFETY REASONS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS.

☛ Personnel making any adjustments on thevalves should wear safety equipmentnormally used to work with fluid in the linewhere the valve is installed.

☛ Before removing the yoke nut under pressure,the valve should be in fully open position inorder to prevent injuries (backseat position).

☛ Before removing a valve from a line, linepressure must be relieved with no exception.

☛ Velan valves can be equipped with a varietyof manual gear, electric motor, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Generally,all pressure must be relieved from both sidesof the valve before the actuator is removed.

☛ A valve in the fully open position(backseated), should not be jammed-tight(over-torqued), to avoid thermal binding.

It is our recommendation that the valve beremoved 1/4 turn of the handwheel from thefully open position. This will also ensure thatpacking tightness is verifiable. In gear-operated valves, because of the backlash, itis difficult sometimes to ensure this position.

☛ Valve standards, such as API and MSS,caution users that successful completion of abackseat test should not be construed as arecommendation by the manufacturer that avalve may be repacked while it is underpressure. The backseat may be used as ameans of stopping or reducing packingleakage until the packing can be replacedunder no pressure. Removal of packing withthe valve under pressure is at the owner’s risk.

☛ Velan is not responsible for automationcarried out in the field and resultingconsequences.

4.1 OPERATION

4.1.1 General

All valves should be checked before being put into operation and inspected regularly duringoperation. Problems should receive promptattention. As a general rule, valves should besubjected to scheduled maintenance.

4.1.2 Smoothness of Operation

Stem threads, stem nuts and other workingcomponents outside the fluid area should belubricated frequently (at least once every sixmonths). Specific lubricants and frequency ofapplication are shown in Table 4.2. Valves shouldbe opened and closed at least once a month.

IMPORTANT: Excessive handwheel effort canindicate the following:

a) Improperly lubricated or damaged valvestem.

b) Valve packing compression too tight (seeTable 4.1.2 for torque values).

c) Faulty or damaged valve parts.

4.1.3 Seat Tightness and Closing Torques

Even a new valve with seating faces lapped toperfection and a full seat-disc contact will bepressure-tight only if sufficient stem load isapplied. The minimum stem load for each size ofvalve varies with operating pressure, but shouldbe known by the operating personnel in order toseat the valve properly. Over-torquing up to 25%will not damage the valve.

4.3 PACKING CHAMBER LEAKAGE

If the valve is leaking around the stem and/oraround the outside diameter of the split glandbushing in the back seated position, the valveneeds to be disassembled and the stem and/orstellite backseat must be refinished or replaced.

If the valve is leaking around the stem and/oraround the outside diameter of the split glandbushing in the partially open position, tighten thegland bolting. If this does not stop the leakage,proceed with Steps 1 through 5, as follows:

STEP 1

Release line pressure and remove handwheelassembly, packing flange. See DisassemblyProcedure on pages 16 and 18 according to valvetype.

STEP 2

Examine valve stem and packing chamber bore for grooves and scratches. Clean and smoothsurfaces. Polish stems that may have scratches upto 0.005” (0.13 mm) deep with extrafine emerycloth. Otherwise replace stem.

STEP 3

Reinstall stem/disc assembly. Follow ReassemblyProcedures on pages 17 and 19 according to valvetype to complete repacking and to completereassembly.

NOTE: Velan recommends use of precompressed packing rings.

4.4 DISC REFINISHING

Minor damage can be repaired by machining the disc.

Clean the surface, then chuck the stem-discassembly in a lathe and center the disc on thecircular guides. See the diagrams at right for discrefinishing angles. Do not remove more than theamounts shown in Table 4.4.

The disc is now ready for final lapping with seat(see pages 11 and 12).

NOTE: If the disc is severely damaged, itshould be replaced.

4.5 SEAT REFINISHING1. Disassemble valve (see pages 16 and 18).

Select the proper head for the seat refinishingtool. Minor damage can be repaired with thelapping head, but use the cutting head first ifthere is severe damage. Remove the screw onthe end of the tool with a small Allen key,position the cutting or lapping head andtighten the screw.

NOTES:

a) If valve is not in an upright position, use theyoke bushing to hold the tool in place.

b) Total angle for seat (stop check disc)refinishing 60°.

c) Total angle for seat (standard globe andneedle disc) refinishing 30°.

2. Use an air motor for cutting and lapping if youhave one. Place the air motor adapter on theend of the tool. If you don't have an air motor,you can use a ratchet and socket wrench, butthe repair will take longer.

If you are using the cutting head

Insert the seat refinishing tool into the valvebore. Rotate the tool using either a socketwrench or an air or electric motor whileapplying light pressure on the tool. Shouldthe refinishing tool bind, reduce the pressureon the tool and try again. Remove the tool andinspect the seat area. Repeat if necessary.When all damage is removed use the lappinghead.

If you are using the lapping head

Lightly coat the lapping tool head withmedium coarse lapping compound. Insert theseat refinishing tool into the valve bore.Rotate the tool using either a socket wrench oran air or electric motor while applying lightpressure on the tool. Remove the tool andinspect the seat area. Repeat if necessary.When all visible damage is removed, clean offall coarse compound grit and finish lapping

the seat with fine lapping compound. Seatlapping can also be done using abrasive paperwith the lapping head, use course 60 grit toremove the damage and 220 grit for the finalfinish. Lapping with abrasive paper makes acleaner and faster finish.

3. Use a portable vacuum cleaner to removeloose chips. The valve is now ready for seat-disc lapping.

4.6 SEAT-DISC LAPPING

After seat refinishing or when a new orreconditioned disc is used, the disc and the seatshould be lapped together to create a perfectsealing contact. Seat-disc lapping can also beused to eliminate minor seat and/or disc damage.

Use an air or electric motor for lapping if you haveone. Place the air motor adapter on the end of thetool. If you don't have an air or electric motor, youcan use a ratchet and socket wrench, but the repairwill take longer.

1. The valve should be completely disassembledincluding the packing rings, backseat andspline bushing.

NOTE: For Y type valves only, slip an O-ringover the end of the stem and into the groovebetween the disc and the stem to prevent thedisc from rotating during lapping.

2. Apply a small amount of lapping compoundto the disc contact face. Insert the stem in the body.

6.1 OPERATION

6.1.1 General

All valves should be checked before being put intooperation and should be inspected regularly duringoperation. Prompt attention should be paid whentrouble arises. As a general rule, valves should besubjected to scheduled maintenance.

6.1.2 Smoothness of Operation

Stem threads, stem nuts and other workingcomponents outside the fluid area should belubricated frequently (at least once every sixmonths). Specific lubricants and frequency ofapplication are shown in Table 6.2.

IMPORTANT: Excessive handwheel effort canindicate the following:1. Improperly lubricated or damaged valve stem.2. Valve packing compression too tight

(see Table 6.1.2 for torques).3. Faulty or damaged valve parts.

6.1.3 Seat Tightness and Closing Torques

Even a new valve with seating faces lapped toperfection and a full seat-wedge or disc contact will be pressure-tight only if sufficient stem load is applied. The minimum stem load for each size of valve varies with operating pressure in order toseat the valve properly. Slight over-torquing will not damage the valve.

CAUTION: Do not use “cheaters” on the handwheel.

2. Open the valve partially and remove thehandwheel nut and the handwheel.

3. Remove the body-bonnet gasket bolts and liftout the complete bonnet assembly. At thispoint remove the yoke bushing tack welds andunscrew the yoke bushing counterclockwise.

4. Remove the gland bolts and pull out the stemout of the bonnet and remove the packing outof the packing chamber.

The valve is now ready for parts replacementand or repair.

7.2 SEAT LEAKAGE

7.2.1 General

An indication that valve leakage exists after a valvehas been properly closed may be found byobserving the pressure loss in the line on the highpressure side of the valve. In the case of hot wateror steam lines, note whether the downstream piperemains hot beyond the usual length of time. Thistype of leak may be the result of a distorted seat,caused by improper welding of the valve into thepipeline, or by stress-relieving temperature that mayhave been used during installation.

Leaks can also be caused by failure to close the valvetightly, resulting in high-velocity flow through a smallopening. In spite of the fact that the hardfacingmaterial (Stellite) is corrosion- and erosion-resistant,grooves, pit marks or other surface irregularities maystill form on the mating faces. Valves which leakshould be repaired as soon as possible to preventgreater damage caused by high-velocity flow.

7.2.2 Seat Repairs: Globe Valves1. Disassemble the valve as described in

Disassembly of Globe Valves, Section 7.1,and inspect the disc and seat for scratches, pitting marks or other damage.

2. If there are deep pitting marks, use a cast ironlapping disc with seat angle of 15º and asuitable lapping compound to roughen thesurface first. With the use of a new, or alreadyrefinished original disc, you can use a finerlapping compound to finish lapping the discand seat together.

3. a) Use a guiding plate for the stem to maintainalignment during the lapping operation. Itcan be made from wood or any othersuitable material, to the dimensions of thegasket and the bonnet spigot. The sectionof the plate where the stem extendsthrough must be 1⁄64“ (0.4 mm) larger thanthe outside diameter of the stem.

b) If the valve has a soft-seated disc, all bodylapping must be done with a lapping discand not with a soft-seated disc

4. Evenly distribute a small quantity of lappingcompound mixed with olive oil on the twomating surfaces.

5. It is important to apply only light, even pressurewhen lapping seats and to rotate reciprocally.For best results, use an air or electric hand toolwith adjustable speed and reciprocal movement.The lapping tool should be lifted frequently andturned to a new starting position.

6. Automatic grinding and lapping of seat facescan be done by specialized equipment which can save considerable time, refer to Figure 7.2A.For major damages the use of 60-80 grit diamond or Micron alumina abrasive discs issuggested. For minor damage use 120-180 gritand for finishing 220 grit and up can be used.For further details contact the Velan FieldEngineering Service Department.

7.2.3 Fitting of Repaired Parts: Globe Valves

1. After the seating faces of the disc and seathave been relapped and cleaned with asuitable cleaning fluid, such as acetone oralcohol, the results of the lapping must beverified by a blueing test to check for fullcircumferential contact. A blueing ink shouldbe distributed smoothly and equally over theseating diameter of the disc. Slowly lower thepart into the body and find the correct matingpoint of the faces.

2. When fitting the disc, it is important that theinside diameter of the body be checked forsufficient clearance to allow the disc to movefreely up and down. A visual examination ofthe body wall is recommended. Any groovesor scratches should be polished with a fineemery cloth. It is also important to verify thatthe disc cannot be forced sideways against theoutlet side of the waterway bore and becomejammed in that position.

7.2.4 Disc RepairA Disc seating damage no greater than 0.005”

(0.12 mm) can be removed by lapping withbody seat, use 60 grit lapping compound toremove damage, followed by fine lapping 220grit and up for finishing.

B Damages greater than 0.005” (0.12 mm) up to0.060” (1.5 mm) should be machined followedby fine lapping (refer to Section 4.4).

NOTE: Disc and stem remains as a unit shouldstem or disc replacement become necessary, itmust be replaced as a unit.

7.3 REASSEMBLY OF GLOBE VALVES

7.3.1 GeneralThe reassembly procedures are not as detailed asthe disassembly procedures since in most casesthe reverse procedure is required.

1. The most important consideration is thecleanliness of all parts. Rust and dirt should beremoved from all parts with a wire brush oremery cloth. Oil and grease should beremoved with suitable solvents.

2. Threaded parts (cap screws, nuts, studs) mustbe well relubricated. Old grease should beremoved from the stem and stem nut threadsbefore a new coat of grease is applied.Recommended lubricants can be found in Table 6.2.NOTE: Use correct lubricant for each individual part.

3. Repaired or replaced parts must be checked to make sure that repair procedures have beendone and that replaced parts (e.g., packingrings, spiral gasket, etc.) have been checked for size so that they will fit into the valve you are servicing.

4. All orientation marks assigned duringdisassembly must be observed so that correctassembly is maintained.

7.3.2 Torque Procedure1. Clean all studs and nuts and inspect all threads

to ensure removal of all foreign matter, rust,corrosion, burrs and previous lubricant.

2. Liberally cover the cap screw (stud) threads andsurface under the nut head with anti-seizecompound FEL-PRO C5-A or approvedequivalent. Also lubricate the female threads ofthe nuts. Wipe off, with approved solvent, anyexcess lubricant that may adhere to the steelparts. Approved solvents for this work areacetone, alcohol or Freon PCA.

NOTE: The use of other solvents is notrecommended.

3. With bolts hand-tight, follow the bolt-tighteningsequence shown in Figure7.3B. The sequencedepends upon the number of bolts employedand the sketch shows only one possibletightening sequence. The bolts must betorqued to the recommended values shown in Table 7.3.

Table 7.3Torque values (100%) for body-bonnet bolting

7.3.3 Application of Torque

When applying the torque to the bolts, each boltshould be torqued in steps of approximately 20%of the final torque. As the final torque isapproached, the required step will be much lessthan 20%.

CAUTION:

1. If tightening sequence is not followed, it is possible that the spiral wound gasket willnot be compressed evenly, causing the body-bonnet joint to leak.

2. Over-torquing could deform the bonnetflange and cause joint leakage.

3. Do not use an impacting device to draw upthe bolting on body and bonnet (cover)closures.

7.3.4 Replacement of Spiral Wound Gasket1. The gasket seating faces (the recess in the body

and the bonnet face) must first be checked forsmoothness. Scratches can normally beremoved with an emery cloth. The faces shouldthen be solvent degreased and dried beforeassembly. Approved solvents are acetone,alcohol or Freon PCA.

2. Install new spiral wound gasket between thebody and bonnet joint. The body is now readyfor installation of the bonnet assembly andtightening of the bolting in accordance with thetorquing procedure.

7.3.5 Packing Torques1. Clean all gland studs (15) and gland nuts (16).

Visually inspect all threads to ensure removal of all foreign matter, rust, corrosion, burrs andprevious lubricant.

2. Liberally cover the stud threads and the femalethreads of the nuts with anti-seize compoundFEL-PRO C5-A or approved equivalent.

3. With gland nuts (16) hand-tight, tighten them a little at a time on each side, then torque down to the correct torque in accordance with the valvetype, size and pressure class, as shown inTable 6.1.2., and use Packing ConsolidationMethod.

4. Values given in Table 6.1.2 are approximate for standard Velan valves. Whenever possible,refer to the Project Engineering drawing for aparticular valve and its torque.

7.3.6 Packing Consolidation Method

1. Insert the first packing ring, braid graphite type(end ring) and place as deep into the packingchamber as possible, followed by graphiteribbon (intermediate packing rings)refer to Figure 7.3A.

NOTE: The split lap joints of each consecutivering should be staggered at approximately 120º apart.

2. Install the last braided graphite type packingring (end ring). Lower the gland bushing andcheck for positive engagement with packingchamber.

CAUTION: Valve must be partially open whentorquing bolts to prevent damage to seatingsurface.

VIII WELDED BONNET GLOBE VALVES

NOTE: The gland bushing should enter the packing chamber as a rule of thumb approx. 1⁄8” (3 mm) minimum engagement.

3. Place the packing flange into position. Ensuregland bolt/nuts are well lubricated with anti-seize compound. Compress the packing bytightening the nuts to the torque value shownin Table 6.1.2.

4. Cycle the valve for approximately the length ofthe packing chamber, first open then close andretighten to required final torque (Table 6.1.2).Do this procedure as many times as necessary(approximately 4-5 times) until all packingbecome fully consolidated (no more loss oftorque).

NOTE: For motor operated valves (MOV) usemanual override handwheel to cycle open andclose.

8.1 DISASSEMBLY1. Ensure the line has been depressurized.2. Open the valve partially and remove the gland

bolts and the handwheel.3. Using a hand grinder carefully cut by grinding

the body/bonnet seal weld along the body upto the bonnet.

4. To unscrew the bonnet, use a pipe wrench onone yoke arm, tension well counter clockwiseand tap firmly using a brass or plastichammer.NOTE: If the bonnet has not moved, it mayindicate the weld has not been removedcompletely or sufficiently that may requiresome more grinding to remove.

5. After the bonnet assembly has beenunscrewed, the stem together with disc can beremoved through the bottom of the bonnet byturning clockwise to disengage from the yokebushing and once disengaged it can be pulledout and the packing rings can then beremoved.NOTE: If the yoke bushing needs to bereplaced, it will be necessary to grind off thetack welds and turn counterclockwise tounscrew. The valve is now ready for partsreplacement and or repair.

NOTE: Seat and disc repairs and fitting of repair parts refer to Section 7.2.

8.2 REASSEMBLY1. In general the reassembly procedure in most

cases is the reverse procedure of disassembly,refer to Section 7.3.

2. Additionally, prepare the bonnet and body forseal weld by removing remnants of originalseal weld. Screw in the bonnet metal to metaland tighten firmly. The valve is now ready forseal welding.

3. Perform seal weld as follows: For 300 seriesstainless steel valves no preheat nor postweldheat treatment (PWT) is required. For CSvalves type F11 and F22. Preheat is requiredonly, preheat to 300 - 350ºF (148 - 176ºC). Forvalves P5 and up, preheat and postweld heattreatment is mandatory. NOTE: After seal weld has cooled off, performa dye penetrate test (PT), or magnetic particle(MT).

9.1 DISASSEMBLY - COVER REMOVAL

NOTE: Y-Pattern Inclined Piston Check cover isscrewed in and seal welded. To allow coverremoval the seal weld must be grinded off ormachined.

1. Using a hand grinder with a flat cutting wheel,cut the seal weld along the body up to to thecover.

2. To unscrew the cover, use an adjustablewrench on the cover flats, tension well counterclockwise and at the same time tap firmly ontop of the cover using a brass or plastichammer.

NOTE: If the cover has not moved, it may indicatethe weld has not been removed completely orsufficiently, that may require some moregrinding/cutting to remove.

3. After the cover has been unscrewed, thespring and disc can then be removed forinspection and/or repair/replacement.

9.2 SEAT REPAIRS

Generally seat repairs are similar to bolted bonnetglobe except the seat angle of the piston check is30º angle, refer to Section 7.2 for removalallowances. Refer to Section 4.4 and Table 4.4.

For seat lapping using automatic reseater machine,refer to Section 7.2, step 6 and Figure 7.2A.

9.3 DISC REPAIRS

Piston check disc repairs are identical to globe discrepairs, except the disc seating angle is of 271/2º.Refer to Section 7.2.4 A and B and removalallowances in Section and Table 4.4.

9.4 FITTING OF REPAIRED PARTS: PISTON CHECK VALVES

1. After the seating faces of the disc and seat havebeen relapped and cleaned with a suitablecleaning fluid, such as acetone or alcohol, theresults of the lapping must be verified by ablueing test to check for full circumferentialcontact. A blueing ink should be distributedsmoothly and equally over the seating diameterof the disc. Slowly lower the part into the bodyand find the correct mating point of the faces,by tapping lightly on top of the disc.

2. When fitting the disc, it is important that theinside diameter of the body be checked forsufficient clearance to allow the disc to movefreely up and down. A visual examination of
