VALVE GENERAL SELECTION
1. GENERAL SELECTION OF VALVE
The selection of valve type requires an understanding of the following :
(a) Valve Function
(b) Service Characteristics

a. Valve Function
Basic principles on which valves are constructed.
(1) The first principle is developed in three ways:
- Moving the stopper by direct thrust on to the orifice seating. This movement is the
basis of globe type valves.
- Rotating the stopper. This is the basis for plug or ball type valves.
- Sliding the stopper across the face of the orifice seating. This is the basis of gate type
valves.
These are shown in the following Figure.

(2) Each of the three valve principle has its own advantages and disadvantages, as listed
in the following figure.

b. Service Characteristics
Valve selection is dependent on characteristics of the services as follows.
(1) Fluid type (Liquid, Gas, Steam, Slurry, Solids)
(2) Fluid characteristics (Clean Services & Dirty Services)
(3) Pressure and temperature limitations

COMMON PROBLEM & TROUBLE SHOOTING
VALVE COMMON PROBLEM
Internal & external leakage
of mechanical failure
PT. ALFA VALVES INDONESIA
POSSIBLE CAUSE SECURITY & MEASURE TAKEN
- Design mistake - Designed in strict accordance with the API 6D
- production error - Valves should be installed in the pipeline to
- Storage error ensure that the service pressure does not
exceed the maximum allowable working
pressure at the service temperature.
- Process, assembly and test in strict according
to relevant specifications.
- The valve should be stored in a dry, ventilated
indoor environment.
- Long-term storage of valves should be
regularly checked, and anti-rust oil should be
applied to the processing surface.
- the storage period is more than 3 months, it
should be re-tested before installation to
ensure the integrity of the valve structure and
function.

POSSIBLE CAUSE SECURITY & MEASURE TAKEN
Installation error - Check if the valve mark (such as valve type,
nominal diameter, pressure rating, material,
etc.) is correct before use.
- Check that the packing is tight before
installation.
- Check that all connecting bolts are tight
before installation
- Install the valve as horizontally as possible
with the stem facing up
- Install the valve in a natural state during
installation to prevent the valve from
generating large installation stress due to
piping, support, etc.
- Do not use the handwheel and any bolts to lift
the valve.
- After installation, the valve must be in the
open position when the system or piping is
being tested.
