Design RSS Lined Globe Valve

The Design RSS lined globeĆstyle valve (figure 1) is
a oneĆpiece valve body which has pureĆmodified
(reinforced) PTFE trim parts, pushĆdownĆtoĆclose
action, and positive shutoff. The sophisticated PTFE
trim has replaced the previously used glassĆfilled or
carbonĆfilled standard PTFE trim without any loss of
mechanical or thermal properties and has improved
the universal chemical resistance. This valve is for
applications involving severely corrosive and toxic
flowing media and is wellĆsuited for pure media
applications, as well. Within its temperature and
pressure limitations, the Design RSS valve body
may also be applied to most media. The Design
RSS valve body provides an economical alternative
to alloy valve bodies in a wide variety of applications.

Features
DĄFluid CompatibilityĊThe PFA
(perfluoroalkoxy resin)Ćlined assembly provides
corrosion protection by shielding metal parts from
the process media, making it ideal for controlling
severely corrosive media.
DĄPermeating ServiceĊA heavy duty PTFE
bellows with PTFE/carbon support rings is available
for permeating service. Compared to a standard
bellows, the heavy duty bellows design has an
enhanced resistance to permeation. This is due to a
wall thickness of 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) and pressure
retaining rings inside the bellows. An optional
N10276 nickel alloy (Hastelloy C276) bellows seal is
also available to meet the needs of severe service
conditions.
DĄPermeating/Corrosive ServiceĊA heavy duty
PTFE bellows with N06455 (Hastelloy C4) support
rings is available for permeating services which are
also corrosive. This bellows features a modified
PTFE material (TFM 1705) which provides additional
permeation protection over the original heavy duty
PTFE bellows. This bellows, used in combination W4453-1 / IL

with the optional Hastelloy C stem, provides the

highest level of permeation protection in services Figure 1. Design RSS Valve with Type 667 Actuator and
that are too corrosive for the Hastelloy C276 Type 3582 Positioner
bellows.

Features (continued)
DĄEconomyĊBecause all metal parts are
shielded from the process fluid, the use of expensive
alloys is not necessary.
DĄLiner IntegrityĊLining thickness is a minimum
of 5 millimeters at all areas where the valve is
exposed to process flow (3.5 millimeters minimum
thickness for 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch valves). Transfer
molding techniques provide for excellent
consistency, density, and low permeability. Transfer
molded PFA material is translucent. This allows for
checking of the entire wall surface for pin holes and
cracks in the material during the manufacturing
process.
1
Greater safety under vacuum and high temperature
service is achieved by dovetail anchorings which
provide a mechanical bond, effectively preventing
detachment of the lining from the cast valve body.
DĄEasy InĆLine MaintenanceĊThe top entry
design eases inĆline maintenance. This design also
minimizes the transfer of pipeline stress, which
minimizes leakage both at the valve body joint and
seat ring.
DĄLonger Life Bellows SealĊThe PTFE bellows
8 seal is leak tight and, with proper use and
maintenance, can have an expected life cycle
exceeding 500,000 full stroke cycles. The N10276
nickel alloy bellows seal, with proper use and
maintenance, can have an expected life cycle of
10,000 cycles at full stroke, 100,000 cycles at 1/2
stroke, and 1,000,000 cycles at 1/4 stroke.

1. Inch equivalents of these metric port diameters have been rounded to common fractional diameters. Actual diameter of the 15 millimeter port diameter is 0.591 inches, the 40
millimeter port diameter is 1.575 inches, and the 96 millimeter port is 3.780 inches.
2. KV = (0.865) (CV)
3. With the 5 mm (3/16Ćinch) port diameter, some variations of the flow coefficients is expected due to dimensional changes of the PTFE seat ring because of cold flow and thermal
expansions.

1. Inch equivalents of these metric port diameters have been rounded to common fractional diameters. Actual diameter of the 15 millimeter port is 0.591 inches, of the 40 millimeter port
is 1.575 inches, and of the 96 millimeter port is 3.780 inches.
2. The 5 mm (3/16Ćinch) diameter trim is available in three variations. Select the one that meets your flow requirement. In all the 5 mm (3/16Ćinch) diameter trims, a significant variation of
the flow coefficients might occur. This variation is caused by dimensional changes in the seat because of the PTFE material properties and thermal expansion.
