Cameron API 6A Gate Valves

A Family of Quality Gate Valves from the Industry Leader

During the past 60 years, numerous

gate valve designs have been used in
the oilfield. Slab gates, parallel gates,
and expanding gates are a few of the
designs that have been utilized in
valves to control the flow of fluids in
Christmas trees, flow lines, pipelines
and processing plants.
Cameron engineers have carefully
studied existing valve designs, their
features, benefits and applications.
The result is a collection of preferred
gate valve designs representing the
Òbest of the bestÓ in gate valve
technology today.

 Slab-Style Gates

Cameron slab-style gates are one-piece, solid gates

which consistently deliver outstanding sealing perfor-
mance throughout a wide range of conditions, bore sizes,
and working pressures, including corrosive and abrasive
fluid environments. Slab-style gates are used in the
Cameron FL, FLS and FLS-R Gate Valves for both manual
and actuated applications. These valves meet or exceed
the requirements of API Specifications 6A, 6A SSV/USV *
and 17D.
The slab-style gate design effects a metal-to-metal seal
on the flow stream and its simple, straightforward design
makes it easy to maintain and ideal for both low and
high-pressure sealing situations where particulate matter
could pose a sediment problem. Slab gates may also be
used when wireline cutting is a requirement.

 Expanding-Style Gates

Recognized worldwide as the Pow-R-Sealª gate design,

expanding-style gates are used in Cameron M and M215
Gate Valves. This popular gate design is used in manual
valves to produce a high seating force against both the
upstream and downstream seats simultaneously as the
handwheel is tightened. This force effects a tight mechan-
ical seal which is unaffected by line pressure fluctuations
or vibration. The expanding gate allows a positive
mechanical seal across both seats both upstream and
downstream, with or without line pressure.
The gate assembly uses an angular gate face which is
collapsed during travel. When closed, a stop causes any
further downward travel to force the faces of the gate
assembly outward to effect a positive line flow seal.
When opened, a stop causes any further upward travel to
force bottom faces to expand and seal against the seats to
isolate flow from the valve body cavity.

Open Position Closed Position

Expanding gates provide a mechanical sealing method that ensures low

pressure sealing. As the valve opens, upward travel of the loose gate
segment is stopped by the bonnet. As the main gate segment continues
upward, the two halves of the gate are forced apart by their tapered mat-
ing surfaces. When the valve is closed, downward travel of the loose gate
segment is stopped by the body. As the main gate segment continues
downward, the two halves of the gate are again forced apart by their
tapered mating surfaces.

 FL Gate Valve

The Cameron FL Gate Valve has earned a reputa-

tion in all types of applications. The FL
is a full-bore, through-conduit valve
available in standard double flange,
threaded-end and special block body
configurations. It is a forged valve which is
available in 2000, 3000 and 5000 psi WP and in bore sizes from
2-1/16Ó to 4-1/16Ó and can be fitted with a wide range of
Cameron actuators.

Features and Benefits

¥ Bi-directional design provides flow direction versatility and
increased service life.
¥ Positive metal-to-metal sealing (gate-to-seat and seat-to-body).
¥ Simple, reliable gate and seat design promotes ease of field
service and minimal spare parts inventory.
¥ Spring-loaded, pressure energized, non-elastomeric lip-seal
between each seat and body assists in low pressure sealing.
It also protects against intrusion of particle
contaminants into the body cavity and seal areas.
¥ Stem seal design covers full range of pressures,
temperatures, and fluids encountered in
wellhead and manifold service.
¥ Metal-to-metal bonnet seal.
¥ Stem can be backseated to allow stem seal
replacement with valve under pressure.
¥ Grease injection fitting located downstream of
stem backseat for safety. Fitting located in bonnet,
eliminating body penetration.
¥ Bearing cap grease fitting allows positive bearing
lubrication.
¥ Easy closing and sealing without excessive force.

FLS-R Gate Valve

The Cameron FLS-R Gate Valve was

designed for use as a manual valve in high-
pressure, large bore applications. This valve
incorporates a lower balancing stem and unique ball
screw mechanism for ease of operation in the field.
The FLS-R is value-engineered for reliability, low
torque, ease of operation and service. The FLS-R has many of the
same
features as the FLS including the gate and seat design.

Features and Benefits

¥ Bi-directional design provides flow direction versatility
and increased service life.
¥ Positive metal-to-metal sealing (gate-to-seat and seat-to-body).
¥ Simple, reliable gate and seat design promotes ease of field service
and minimal spare parts inventory.
¥ Two spring-loaded, pressure energized, non-elastomeric lip-seals
between each seat and body assist in low pressure sealing. They
also protect against intrusion of particle contaminants into the
body cavity and seal areas.
¥ Lower stem balances pressure thrust on upper stem to reduce
operating torque, prevents body cavity pressure build-up
during operation, and provides position indication.
¥ Spring-loaded, pressure energized, non-elastomeric
stem seal covers full range of pressures,
temperatures, and fluids.
¥ Pressure-energized metal-to-metal bonnet seal.
¥ Either stem can be backseated to allow stem
seal replacement with valve under pressure.
¥ Grease injection fittings located on the
downstream side of the stem and the
balancing stem backseat for safety.

FLS-R Seal
Cameron FLS-R Gate Valves incorporate
dual spring-loaded lip seals as shown
in this detail.

M Gate Valves

The Cameron M Gate Valve, with expanding

Pow-R-Seal gate design, non-rising stem, and
metal-to-metal sealing provides safe, depend-
able service in applications of 2000 to 5000 psi
WP. It is available in sizes from 2-1/16Ó
through 4-1/16Ó with either threaded or
flanged ends. The M valve is available in trims for all
types of oilfield service, including extreme sour gas.

Features and Benefits

¥ Metal-to-metal sealing (gate-to-seat and seat-to-body).
¥ Expanding gate design creates a positive mechanical seal
across the seats, with or without line pressure.
¥ Full-bore, through-conduit gate-to-seat seal maximizes
valve life by virtually eliminating turbulence and
pressure drop.
¥ Gate skirts reduce loss of body lubricants.
¥ Low running stress enhances life of the gate-to-seat
interface.
¥ Upper/lower roller thrust bearings are isolated
from well fluid, minimizing torque.
¥ Stem packing can be re-energized with valve
under pressure.
¥ Non-rising stem permits valve installation in
closer quarters.
¥ Seats, gates, stem, and other working parts are
field replaceable.

M215 Gate Valve

The Cameron M215 Gate Valve, with expand-

ing Pow-R-Seal gate design, pres-
sure balanced stem, and
metal-to-metal
sealing provides safe,
dependable service in
10,000 psi WP applications. It is available in sizes
from 1-13/16Ó through 3-1/16Ó with flanged ends. The
M215 is available in trims for all types of oilfield service,
including extreme
sour gas.

Features and Benefits

¥ Pressure balancing lower stem reduces load on the bear-
ings and stem threads, resulting in lower operating torque.
¥ Metal-to-metal sealing (gate-to-seat and seat-to-body).
¥ Stem threads are outside the valve body, removed from
wellbore fluids.
¥ Expanding gates create a positive mechanical seal across
the seats, with or without line pressure.
¥ Positive mechanical seal of gates
isolates body
cavity from wellbore pressure,
permitting pressure venting,
whether valve is open or closed.
¥ Full-bore, through-conduit
design virtually eliminates
turbulence and pressure drop.
¥ Seats, gates, stem and other
working parts are field
replaceable.
¥ Injectable stem packing can be
re-energized while the valve is under
