12.13 All valves that require a torque of 95 Nm or more to open ("breakaway" torque)
or to operate against the maximum differential pressure for which the valve is
designed, shall be supplied with a gear operator, even though the Stock Code
Description for the valve may not specify a gear operator.
Whenever this situation occurs and whenever gear operators are specified,
CONTRACTOR shall provide the following torque values stated in
newton-meters for COMPANY approval:
a) to open the valve ("breakaway" torque) against the maximum differential

pressure for which the valve is designed without using a gear operator;
b) to open the valve ("breakaway" torque) against the maximum differential

pressure with the proposed gear operator;

c) to operate the valve at the maximum operating pressure for which the
valve is designed without using a gear operator;
d) to operate the valve at the maximum operating pressure for which the
valve is designed with the proposed gear operator.
In addition to the above torque requirements gear operators shall be provided

on valves where specified and also when the following conditions apply:
Valve type Gear Handwheel required
Gate valves On 6 inch and larger of ANSI Class 600-pound and higher
ratings. On 12 inch and larger of all ratings.

valves shall have an impact wheel and a clamp-on type chainwheel.
12.15 Gear operators shall be totally enclosed, weather proof type, packed with a
suitable lubricant. Gear boxes shall be either permanently lubricated or fitted with
one or more easily accessible standard grease nipples to enable the lubricant to
be renewed while the valve and gearbox are in service. CONTRACTOR shall
provide drawing for each gear operator that show and identify the grease nipples
and include the name(s) and type(s) of lubricant that can be used.
12.16 Gear operators shall be of a design and so `installed on the valve that normal
valve operation is not impaired. All gear operated valves shall be capable of being
fully opened and closed and, in the case of ball, butterfly and plug valves, the
gear operator shall be so designed that there is no possibility of turning the ball,
plug or blade past the 90 degree full open or full closed position.
12.17 Lever operated valves shall be supplied complete with suitable levers. In addition,
CONTRACTOR is to provide to COMPANY for each size, rating and type of lever
operated valve, the length of the lever, measured from the centerline of the valve
stem to the extreme end of the lever, stated in millimeters. Whenever this
dimension exceeds 500 mm, CONTRACTOR is to provide gear operators which
satisfy the requirements given above. The required torque values stated above
shall also be provided.
12.18 Lever operated valves shall be capable of being locked with a padlock in the full
open and full closed positions. This locking feature shall be independent of the
lever operator.
12.19 Lever operated valve stem heads shall be circular with a keyway for attaching the
lever in one and only one position. Circular stem heads with one or two flats are
acceptable, but in either case the design shall be such that-the lever cannot be
installed in a manner that would permit the valve to move through more than 90
degrees. Square stem heads are not acceptable.

Stems shall be positioned such that the lever is parallel to the flow when the valve
is open.
12.20 Lever operated valves shall be fitted with stops at the full open and full closed
positions to prevent the ball or blade (valve closure) from moving through more
than 90 degrees. These stops shall be in the form of raised bosses, integrally cast
or forged with the valve body or welded to the valve body. Removable stops
and/or spring loaded pins which drop into holes at the full open or full closed
positions are not acceptable.
The plate or pin which strikes these stops shall be permanently affixed to the
valve stem and shall not be a feature of the lever operator, in order to prevent
the valve being mis-operated when the lever is removed.
12.21 Any welding, including weld repairs and weld deposited seating surfaces, is
subject to the requirements of Project Specification EGP3-00.32.
12.22 All cast valve bodies, bonnets and any other pressure retaining or wetted parts,
require inspection in accordance with Specification MSS SP-55.
12.23 All stainless steel valves and stainless steel components of other valves
(including trim but excluding gaskets) shall be supplied in the solution annealed
and pickled condition.
12.24 Where vulcanized rubber body linings are specified, the lining shall be a synthetic
rubber resistant to oil and other liquid hydrocarbons such as nitrile or neoprene
rubbers.
12.25 Rubber valve body linings shall be wrapped around, and set into, the gasket
seating surface of the flange face such that the surface of the lining is flush with
the gasket seating surface. It is not intended for the lining to act as a gasket
substitute. This is a mandatory requirement. Body linings that, in the relaxed
state, stand proud of the metal face of the valve are not acceptable.
12.26 All handwheel operated valves, including gear operated valves, shall be capable
of being locked, with a chain and padlock, in the fully open and fully closed
position.
12.27 All gate and globe valves shall be capable of having their gland packings
removed and replaced while under pressure, with the valve in the fully open
position.
12.28 Globe, ball, check and wedge-type gate valves shall be field repairable. Balls,
seal and seats shall be replaceable without welding and cutting.
12.29 Gates with rising stem must be suitable for marine environment.
12.30 Valves shall be manufactured in accordance with Standards and Codes

referenced in this specification.
12.31 Valves that are bolt thru shall not be used , unless they have lug type bodies
that cover the studs.
13.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR VALVES IN LOW TEMPERATURE

(CRYOGENIC) SERVICE
13.1 All low temperature carbon steel valves shall be suitable for continuous
operation at minus 46 degrees C and for operation at any temperature between
minus 46 degrees C and plus 110 degrees C.
13.2 All stainless steel valves, specified to have extended bonnets for low
temperature service, shall be suitable for continuous operation at minus 130
degrees C and for operation at any temperature between values quoted in valve
long description.
13.3 All stainless steel gate, globe, butterfly and ball valves, specified to have
extended bonnets for low temperature service, shall have extended bonnets,
stems, etc., of such a design that removes the packing gland (stem seals, etc.)
from the cryogenic zone to ensure easy operability at the lowest design
temperature. Extended bonnet valves for cryogenic service shall have the
following minimum extended bonnet lengths measured from the centerline of the
valve bore to the bottom of the packing (stuffing box):
Centerline of Valve Bore to Bottom

of Valve Packing (Inches)
Valve Sizes Rising Quarter-Turn
(NPS) (e.g., Gate Globe) (e.g., Butterfly, Ball)
½, 3/4, 1 12 7.5

20 55 37
24 63 39

13.4 The test for force to determine the need for a gear operator described above,
shall be conducted at the lowest design temperature (minus 130 degrees C) for
all low temperature service stainless steel valves.
13.5 Valves shall be designed to relieve pressures above normal working pressure
that may build up in body cavities due to the thermal expansion or evaporation
of entrapped liquids or gasses. For gate and ball valves, this requirement shall
be met by the provision of a hole in the gate wedge to connect the body cavity
with the high pressure side of the valve or through the center of one side of the
ball, 90 degrees from the through port.
As the provision of this feature will make these valves unidirectional in

operation, the high pressure end shall be clearly indicated either on and integral
with the body of the valve or on a plate securely attached to the body of the valve.
The CONTRACTOR Drawings for these valves shall clearly detail these features
and shall state the diameter of the cavity relief hole.
14.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR BUTTERFLY VALVES
14.1 Butterfly valves specified to be "Manufacturer's Standard" instead of API-609,

are so specified due to the nominal pipe size being outside of the range of a
national standard. The design of these valves shall be as far as possible in
accordance with API-609 and ANSI B16.34, including all testing requirements of
those standards.
14.2 All butterfly valves shall be suitable for throttling duties as well as service in the
fully open or fully closed positions. An arrow, to indicate the correct flow
direction, shall be part of the body casting or forging or shall be embossed on
the valve body. If the valve design is such that the throttling capability is not
dependent on flow direction, the arrow is not required.
Lever operated valves shall have throttling levers of the notched plate design to
allow positive positioning in a maximum number of intermediate positions.
Gear operated valves shall have operators of a design that will allow the valve to
be set in intermediate throttling positions for long periods without having to lash
down the handwheel.
14.3 All butterfly valves with soft seat inserts shall be "Fire Safe" in accordance with
either API-607 or COMPANY approved equal.

14.4 Tapped holes in body lugs for through bolting are not acceptable. Where tapped
holes are necessary because the valve body design does not allow through
bolting for every bolt, CONTRACTOR shall identify in its quotation by Material
Requisition Item Number, which valves require tapped holes and shall include,
with its quotation a list stating the quantity, diameter and effective thread length
of the tapped holes for each relevant size and rating of valve on the Material
Requisition.
These tapped holes shall be identified, with the diameter and effective thread
length, on the relevant Vendor Drawing for each valve where required.
These tapped holes shall have UNC threads for 1” and smaller diameter
