Introduction
The Titan C Reset Relief Valve is installed on a rig system to protect the mud pumps from
high-pressure spikes. Once the set pressure is reached, the valve automatically snaps to an open
position and allows excess pressure to bleed off. The valve may then be reset manually after the
mud pumps are turned off and all system pressure is removed.
The Titan C is equipped with a release button (item 47) that indicates when the valve is open or
closed. A helical compression load spring (item 37), used to maintain a constant force against the
backside of the piston assembly (item 3), keeps the valve normally closed. When the force exerted
by the drilling fluid is greater than the constant force exerted by the helical compression load
spring, the valve "trips" open. The fluid then exits the valve, passes through a discharge line, and
drains into a mud tank or pit.
The Titan C components are listed with their corresponding item numbers.
Reference: For more information on the component part numbers and
item numbers, refer to the bill of materials and assembly drawings found
in the Technical Drawing Package (TDP) or in the Appendix chapter.
Titan C valves utilize the 34000 series part numbers. Various dash numbers may be added to the
base 34000 series part number to indicate the type of piping adapters supplied with the valve or
any other auxiliary items.
The following valve connections are covered in this service manual:
• 3-in. SCH XXH Buttweld Connection (figure 2-1)
• 3-in. 1502 Hammer Union Connection (figure 2-2)

3 Installation
Precautions
This section provides general precautions to follow during the installation of the equipment. When
installing the Titan C, personnel should be aware of potential hazards, and review the following
precautions:
WARNING
Prior to installing the Titan C, follow standard rig safety
procedures when isolating energy from energized
equipment. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury to personnel, equipment damage, or unplanned
rig downtime.
WARNING
To allow for safe operation and installation, adequate
access to the Titan C must be provided before and after
installation. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury to personnel, equipment damage, or unplanned rig
downtime.
WARNING
The Titan C must be properly earth grounded when
installed. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
rig downtime.
Be aware of hot piping in the work area when installing the Titan C. To reduce
the risk of injury from hot surfaces, allow surfaces to cool to safe-working
temperature before handling. Failure to follow this caution may result in injury
to personnel.
• Maintain awareness of pinch point hazards where body parts can get caught between moving
and stationary parts of the equipment, and maintain safe distance in these areas.
• Ensure that the piping is clear of obstructions at all times.
• Always ensure personnel wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when installing the Titan C.
This includes eye protection, gloves, footwear, hard hat, and any of the required PPE for the rig
or facility.
• Only qualified personnel may trip or reset the valve.
• When installing the equipment at heights, the potential for personal injury or injury to personnel
from dropped objects exists.
Adhering to the recommended guidelines in the secondary retention and

! prevention of dropped objects documents will greatly reduce the risk of falling
objects from installed equipment and prevent injury to personnel working on
the rig floor.

Installing the Valve Assembly

To install a valve assembly with a buttweld connection (figure 3-1), perform the following steps:
The buttweld must be cooled completely before installing the flanged

connection. Failure to follow this caution may result injury to personnel or
permanent damage to the flange seals.
1. Using a crane, move the valve assembly in between the inlet and outlet flanges (item 57).
2. Install all flange seals.
3. Place anti-seize on the flange bolt threads.
NOV recommends using an anti-seize with a friction coefficient of 0.07 or less.

Reference: For more information about anti-seize, refer to the Torque
Chart on page 21.

Storing the Titan C

This section provides the following storage guidelines for the valve:
• Short Term and Long Term Storage
• Returning Equipment to Service After Storage
Short Term and Long Term Storage

Before placing the valve into long term storage, the following precautions and recommended
guidelines must be taken:
• Palletize the valve and store it indoors.
A cargo container would be appropriate for storage.
• Avoid wide variations in temperature and high humidity.
The preferred storage environment is clean and dry at 16 °C (60 °F) ambient
temperature. If high humidity is unavoidable, an ambient storage temperature
of 21 °C (70 °F) is recommended.
• Coat all unpainted metal surfaces with rust preventative prior to storage or transport.
All exposed unpainted metal surfaces are coated with a rust preventive at the
factory prior to shipment. NOV recommends a rust preventive (slushing
compound) for bare metal surfaces such as Kendall Grade 5 (GE-D6C6A1) or
an equivalent.
• All openings should be covered to prevent water or dust from entering. Make sure the cover
allows for air circulation around the equipment.
NOV does not recommend using a silica gel or dehydrating agent.
• If the valve has been in storage for longer than a year, remove the bonnet assembly and inspect
the valve body bore for corrosion, and then reassemble.
Reference: For more information on performing maintenance on the valve, refer to the General
Maintenance section on page 35.
Returning Equipment to Service After Storage

Before placing the valve back into service, the following tasks should be completed and verified:
• Remove all rust preventative and any corrosion, taking special care with all
load-carrying components.
• Blow out all dust and dirt from the equipment as required with clean, dry air.

Precautions for Safe Equipment Operations
WARNING
Failure to follow safe work procedures and adhere to
precautions in this chapter could result in serious or fatal
injury to personnel, significant damage to the equipment,
Although the Titan C is a manual reset relief valve, the following precautions for safe equipment
operations must be taken:
• Acknowledge and obey all warning and cautionary plaques installed on the equipment.
• Always inspect the equipment prior to use for proper operating condition.
• Ensure that the plaques on the equipment remain clean and legible.
• Inspect the equipment to ensure that it meets safe operating requirements.
• Ensure that no other rig activities can cause hazards while operating the equipment.
• Be aware of hot surfaces when resetting the valve.
• Ensure the valve and trip setting is reset by qualified personnel only.
• The maximum temperature of fluid running through the valve is limited to 121 °C (250 °F).
Be aware of hot piping in the work area when operating the Titan C. To
reduce the risk of injury from hot surfaces, allow surfaces to cool to
safe-working temperature before handling.
• Only qualified personnel may manually trip or reset the valve.

• Always ensure personnel wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating the
Titan C. This includes eye protection, gloves, footwear, hard hat, and any of the required PPE for
the rig or facility.
The release of drilling fluid, especially at high pressures, can be destructive to

! internal valve parts. Isolate and shut down a mud pump immediately once the
valve for that pump discharges.
In some operating conditions, the valve may discharge at a lower or higher

pressure than indicated by the valve setting.
Reference: For guidelines and procedures for resolving issues found
when resetting the valve, refer to the applicable information provided in
the Troubleshooting chapter.
24 17797361-MAN
Revision 01
www.nov.com
Operation 4
Calibrating the Valve

Before resetting the valve as part of normal operations, the valve must first be properly calibrated.
To calibrate the valve (figure 4-1), perform the following steps:
WARNING
Prior to calibrating the Titan C, follow standard rig safety
rig downtime.
WARNING
When performing valve calibration, never intentionally set
the trip pressure to a higher setting than is needed to
protect the system. Doing so may result in catastrophic
failure for any of the components or piping associated with
that system. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious or fatal injury to personnel, significant damage to
the equipment, or unplanned rig downtime.
2. Turn the trip-setting adjusting nut (item 32) to adjust the valve to the midpoint of the
working-pressure range using the trip-pressure indicator plate (item 33) and calibration plate
(item 36).
Tightening the trip-setting adjusting nut clockwise increases pressure;

loosening the nut counterclockwise reduces pressure.
Never use a cheater pipe or any other torque-assistance device to force the
! reset handle (item 16). Additional force can result in permanent damage to the
bonnet body (item 15) or bonnet linkage components.
Piston seal damage can lead to the valve becoming difficult to reset. Always
! check and replace pistons seals as necessary if the valve becomes difficult to
reset. Failure to do so may result in significant equipment damage.
Reference: For more information about replacing the piston seals, refer to
the Removing and Inspecting the Piston Assembly section on page 46.

www.nov.com
4 Operation Calibrating the Valve
Pinch point hazards exist in certain locations on the Titan C. Body parts can
get caught between moving and stationary parts of the equipment. Always
exercise extreme caution around pinch point locations. Be sure to maintain
safe distance from these areas when operating the equipment.
3. Based on the reset handle’s arrow direction, push or pull the reset handle approximately 90°
until it comes to a hard stop, and the release button (item 47) fully extends 3/8 in. from the
bonnet body.
4. Verify that the release button is fully extended 3/8 in. from the bonnet body to ensure that the
valve is properly closed.
5. Release the reset handle, so that it can automatically return to the starting position.
6. Turn on the mud pumps, and slowly increase pressure until the valve trips.
7. Record the actual trip pressure using the system pressure gauge on the mud pump’s manifold.
8. If the valve is still out of calibration, pull the spiral pin (item 40) from the lower spring retainer
(item 39).
9. Adjust the load screw (item 38) as required, based on actual trip pressure.
Adjusting the load screw clockwise reduces pressure; adjusting the load
screw counterclockwise increases pressure.
A half-turn of the load screw should cause approximately a 50 psig change

(higher or lower depending on the direction of the rotation) in the tripping
pressure of the valve.
10. Repeat steps 1–9 until the valve trips within 50 psig of the trip set pressure.
Do not reinsert the spiral pin into the lower spring retainer at this point. Doing
so requires some disassembly and wears out the pin. The spiral pin is not
reinstalled until the Verifying the High Working Pressure Limits procedure on
page 29 is completed.
11. After calibrating the valve, perform the Verifying the Working Pressure Limits procedure on
page 28.

Verifying the Working Pressure Limits

The valve is considered properly calibrated when both working pressure limits are within an
acceptable pressure range (table 4-1).
If both working pressure limits are too low or too high, pressure settings (low
and high) may be either increased or decreased together by adjusting the
load screw (item 38); however, pressure settings may not be moved closer
together or farther apart.
If a load screw adjustment is made, repeat the low and high working pressure limit procedures to
verify that the valve trips within acceptable low and high limits.
Reference: For more information about adjusting the load screw, refer to the Calibrating the Valve
procedure on page 25. Contact an NOV service representative if the valve is still not properly
calibrated after adjusting the load screw and repeating the working pressure limit procedures.
To verify that the working pressure limits are within acceptable low and high limits, perform the
following procedures in the listed order:
• Verifying the Low Working Pressure Limits
• Verifying the High Working Pressure Limits
Verifying the Low Working Pressure Limits
WARNING
Prior to verifying the pressure limits, follow standard rig
