Seat Performance Data Figure 1 B Insert Seat Ring | Figure 2 Insert Seat Ring Figure 3 Insert Seat Holder Figure 4 Seal By Ua #1 (PTFE) General application seat material, exhibiting lowest operating torque and excellent resistance to chemical attack. (Figure 1) Reference chart 4 #2 (RPTFE) ‘Most commonly specified seat material, and used as the basis for pub- lished torque values. Maintains the excellent chemical resistance of Unfilled Teflon® (PTFE) with increased resistance to wear and abrasion resulting in longer life. (Figure 1) Reference Chart 2 #3 (RPTFE w/Inner Ring) Features a metalic inner ring to improve abrasion resistance particu- lary in high solids or throtting applications. Maintains the other fea tures ofthe #2 seat (Figure 2) Reference Chart 2 #7 (API 607 Cert. PTFE) to 450°F This seat design has been successfully tested to the requirements of, API 607, fourth edition, The PTFE seat is fully confined by a metallic seat holder which provides a secondary seal inthe event of the loss of tho primary PTFE seal due to a fire. As the seat seal material is PTFE, chemical and torque characteristics will be the same as in the #1 seats. (Figure 3) Reference Chart 1 #A (API 607 Cert. RPTFE) to 500°F This seat design has been successfully tested to the requirements of, {API 607, fourth edition. The RPTFE seat is fully confined by a metallic holder which provides a secondary seal in the event of the loss of the primary PTFE seal due to a fire. The seat holder can perform the ‘same function as the inner ring found in the #8 and #5 seats making this design appropriate for abrasive and throttling applications. As the seat seal material is RPTFE, chemical and torque characteristics be the same as in the #2 and #3 seats. (Figure 8) Reference Chart 2 #5 (55%Bronze/5%Moly BRTFE) Specifically intended for steam applications. Also applicable to abrasive and throtting applications because of the heavy loading of reinforcing ‘materials and the presence ofthe inner ring. However, chemical com: patibility may be a limiting factor in the application of this seat (Figure 2) Feterence Chart 3 “D” (60% Stainless Steel SRTFE) Intended for abrasive and throttling applications because of the heavy loading of reinforcing materials and the completely confined seat (Figure 2) Fieterence Chart 2 #6 (UHMWPE) Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene offers good abrasion resist ance making it suitable for use in high solids or slury applications. These seats are completely confined by a metallic seatholder enhanc- ing their performance in abrasive services. This seat is frequently specified in services where fluorine off-gasing in oven the slightest ‘amounts is objectionable. Examples of these services are food, tobac- co processing, and nuclear services.

Temperature (F)Be ay aNd “U” (UHMWPE) Exhibits the same characteristics as the #6 seat with the exception that itutiizes the inner seat ring to enhance performance in abrasive servic- ‘8s. UHMWPE should be used with caution in the presence of solvents, and the operating torque can be expected to be 30% higher than that of the teflon based seat materials. (Figure 1) Reference Chart 4 #8 (PEEK) PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) offers a high strength alternative to PTFE, resistant to creep and cold flow. This seat offers good abrasion resistance. Higher in cost, this material offers similar chemical resist- ance to PTFE but should be checked on application. Operating torque tend to be 40% higher than RPTFE. Ball stop recommended. (Figure 2) Reference Chart § #B (Carbon Reinforced, PEEK) Carbon Reinforced PEEK provides improved abrasion resistance when compared to the unfiled variety. Higher in cost, this material offers a broader temperature range than RPTFE with similar chemical resist ance but should be checked on application. Operating torque tends to bbe 40% higher than RPTFE, Ball stop recommended. (Figure 2) Reference Chart § #4 (Carbon Graphite) Designed for high temperature applications. A bal stop is required in applications above 500°F. Maximum service temperature is limited 10 70°F in oxidizing applications. This seat lke al igid seat materials, does not necessarily provide “bubble tight’ shut-of. Most test standards have allowable leakage rates or list ‘classes" of shut-off for this type of seat. Be aware of the system design requirements when specifying this oF any rigid Seat, Ball stop recommended. (Figure 1) Feeference Chart 6 #H (High Temperature Graphite)pesigned for very high temperature applications. A ball stop is required in applic: tions above 00°F, Maximum service temperature is limited to 1000°F. This soat like other rigid seat materials does not provide “bubble tight” shut-of, This seat isnot as abrasion resistant as the #4 version. Be aware of the system design requirements when specifying this or any rigid seat. Ball stop recommended. (Figure 1) Reference Chart 6 #9 (Ceramic) Working in conjunction with a ceramic bal, this seat outperforms all other materials in trotting and abrasive applications. It possesses ‘excellent chemical resistance. Cost is very high, and unless experience dictates its use, other alternatives should be evaluated frst. A ball stop is recommended for all applications. This seat like all rigid seat materi- als does not necessarily provide “bubble tight” shut-off, Most test stan dards have allowable leakage rates or ist “classes of shut-off for this type of seat. Be aware of the system design requirements when speci fying this or any rigid seat.
