2.0 CONSTRUCTION

Valve shall be designed for bi-directional dead-end service (i.e., the capability for either
side of the valve to be pressurized to the maximum rated pressure while the pipe flange on the
opposite side is removed.

Valves shall be leak tight through the full pressure–temperature rating of 275 psig (1900
KPag) @ 100°F (38°C), 225 psig (1550 KPag) @ 250°F (121°C).

Non-extended stem shall be supplied per supplier standard.

FOR USE ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROPOSAL,

ORDER OR CONTRACT OF WHICH THIS IS A PART Page 1 of 4
 Praxair Standard V-2112 (Iss. 5/15/00)

Neck length shall be adequate to accommodate 2-inch (51mm) thick pipe insulation.

Copper, brass, zinc, and alloys of these materials shall not be used in the construction of the
valve.

Valve shall meet the requirements of API 609 Category B, except the seat shall meet the
body pressure rating at the operating temperature range listed above.

Valve shall be furnished with a lockable device that enables the valve to be locked in both
the open and closed positions, when specified on the purchase order.

The disc/shaft design shall be double-offset to extend seat life. Concentric disc/shaft
designs and unreinforced Teflon seats are not permitted.

3.0 ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS

Body & Disc – CF8M or CF3M cast stainless steel

Shaft – 17-4 PH stainless steel (H 1150M)

316 stainless steel

Seat – Reinforced Teflon. Acceptable Teflon reinforcing are glass,

carbon, or a mixture of glass and carbon.

Trim & Insert – 316 stainless steel

Packing and Body seals – Teflon, GRAFOIL® (UCAR Carbon Co., Cleveland, OH)

4.0 ACTUATOR

NPS 6 and smaller valves – Painted* 10 position lever.

NPS 8 and larger valves – Painted* weatherproof gear operator with painted handwheel
(provide galvanized chainwheel and required galvanized chain when specified on Purchase Order).

5.0 TESTS

Each valve shall be tested per API 598 with the following clarifications:

• Shell Test – Each valve shall be given a shell test at a gauge pressure no less than 1.5
times the 100°F (38°C) rating, rounded off to the next higher 25 psi (172 KPa) increment,
for the minimum specified test duration, per ASME B16.34. The test shall be made with

*
A chemical conversion coating, such as phosphatizing, is acceptable in lieu of painting. Painting is not required on
nonferrous surfaces.

the valve in the partially open position. No visible leakage is permitted. The test medium
shall be clean, oil-free air, nitrogen or clean water.

• Low-Pressure Closure Test – Each valve shall be given a low-pressure closure test. No
visible leakage is permitted through the disk, behind the seat rings, or past the shaft seals,
and no structural damage is permitted. During the closure test, there shall be zero leakage
past the seats for the minimum specified test duration. The test medium shall be clean,
oil-free air or inert gas, such as nitrogen, NOT a liquid.

6.0 CLEANING

This valve shall be cleaned and processed in accordance with Praxair Standard GS-40 using
Seller’s cleaning specification which has been approved by Buyer.

7.0 IDENTIFICATION

The following information shall be permanently affixed to each valve:

• V-2112

• Information as identified in API 609, such as:

– Manufacturer’s name and model

– Size of valve

– ASME body pressure class

– API 609B

• The valve tag number specified on the Purchase Order shall be stamped on a permanent
tag and attached to the valve body (not handwheel or lever) with a stainless wire.

• A separate tag indicating cleaning per Praxair Standard GS-40 shall also be attached to
the valve.

8.0 COMPLIANCE

Deviations from this specification shall not be made without the written approval of Buyer.

9.0 DRAWINGS

Certified supplier drawings are required for vendor approval process prior to placement of
Purchase Orders. Drawings must include dimensional information, materials of construction,
cleaning specifications and must reference the applicable Praxair Standard number V-2112.

Submittal of certified supplier drawings is not required for subsequent Purchase Orders if Buyer
has previously received and approved the certified supplier drawings.

Upon successful completion of the above review by Praxair, the supplier shall provide
certified supplier drawings and finalized cleaning procedures for Praxair approval. All valves shall
be supplied in accordance with the approved supplier drawings, and shall be cleaned using the
approved cleaning procedure. No changes are permitted without written approval from Praxair.
