Series 30,000Metal Seated,Zero Leakage,Rotary ProcessValves

1Vanessa has been successfully producing and

marketing valves worldwide for almost four decades.

After having been a subsidiary of Keystone, the

company joined Tyco International Ltd. in 1997 to

operate within one of its core business segments,

Tyco Flow Control. In 2000, Vanessa became part of

Tyco Valves & Controls I tal ia S.r. l ., a leading

European valve manufacturing group, which

includes the Raimondi and Fasani brand names.

In 1975 Vanessa was the first company to

introduce the revolutionary metal-to-metal seating

technology into the market by offering the Series

30,000 Rotary Process Valve, a unique quarter turn,

triple offset, zero leakage valve. This has enabled

end users to cover a huge variety of applications

in many different industries and has given Vanessa

an enviable reputation world-wide.

Today, as from its inception, Vanessa is the

international leader in the manufacture of high

technology rotary process valves.

The achievements of the Vanessa valve in the

international market have allowed a constant growth

of the company. The reasons for its success can

be attributed to the use of advanced technology,

sophisticated quality control systems and above

all the exclusive design of the Series 30,000.

Vanessa is committed to a constant

improvement of its technology and equipment,

an attitude which has contributed to the highest

levels of performance of its products and the

satisfaction of its customers.

Resilient metal sealThe flexible, resilient metal seal is located on the discand is secured but not locked in position, so that themetal seal has the freedom to flex. The seal ring islocated with a reference pin.

High-cycle thrust bearing The high-cycle thrust bearing assembly rigidlyfixes a super hardened thrust washer to the shaftwhile maintaining an intermediate sliding thrust washer,to extend an already long cycle life.

Stellite hard-face seatHardfacing ensures durability in the broadest rangeof applications, including higher temperatures anddirtier services. Stellite seat is standard on thecomplete range of valves.

Oset 3Achieved by inclining the seat and seal cone centerline inrespect of the pipe and valve centerline. This third osetcompletely eliminates rubbing. Any chances of associatedwear and leakage between the seat and disc-mounted sealring during travel are non-existent.

Vanessa optimizes the contact angle between the seat andseal for enhanced performance. Most gate valves providea contact angle of between 3 and 6 degrees. Such designscreate a locking taper that can cause dangerously highseating or unseating torques.

Vanessas contact angle is above the locking taper rangeand its geometry eliminates the possibility of jamming,ensuring the forces necessary to seat or unseat the valve do

Triple Oset

A typical high performance buttery valve is

manufactured with either a single or double oset

shaft design. These shaft osets are created by

designing the valve with the shaft located behind

the centerline of the sealing surface and slightly to

one side of the pipe centerline. The purpose of

these osets is to reduce the rubbing and thus the

wear between the seat and seal to approximately

20 degrees of travel.

Vanessa adds a unique third (inclined cone

oset 3) to allow not only camming, but also to

completely eliminate all seat-to-seal rubbing

throughout the valves entire 90 degrees of rotation.

Resilient Metal Seal

The Vanessa Series 30,000 utilizes a resilient,

duplex stainless steel seal ring installed in the disc

assembly to provide true zero leakage*.

The resilience of the seal ring is achieved through

the radial compression of the seal ring as torque is

applied to the valve shaft. The seal and seat contact

surface is cone-in-cone, where both cones are

inclined. The angle of contact between the seal and

the seat allows the torque applied to the shaft to

radially compress the disc seal ring. By maintaining

uniformity of contact angles and elasticity in the seal

ring, the entire circumference of the seat is evenly

loaded to achieve the tightest shuto with the least

amount of torque. Torque seating allows the

Vanessa 30,000 valve to shuto completely,

regardless of the direction of ow or line pressure.

Oset 2

Achieved by placing theshaft oset to one side

of the pipe and valvecenterline. The purpose

of this oset is to driveaway the seal from the

seat during the 90of opening.

Valve Configuration and options

4

Features An excellent configuration to prevent any fluid crystallisation in presence of particular media. The heat diffused by valve body jacket reaches all the critical areas, in particular the valve

seat and the bearings area. The jacketed valve is manufactured using the double flanged body style. Vanessa

recommends the use of a long face-to face pattern which increases the heating action. The jacket is dimensioned according to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. For particularly harsh applications, Vanessa advises to use its Steam Jacketed and Traced

Trim configuration. The addition of the traced trim provides an internal heating systemobtained by drilling the shaft from top to bottom, to maximise the heat transfer to shaft and bearings.

The jacketed configuration is targeted to usage in sulphur recovery units, and in anyapplication with high fluid crystallisation risk.

Stellite hardfaced standard integralseat results in broader applications,longer valve life and less maintenance.

Single-piece cast body, with face-to-facedimensions in accordance to ISO 5752,API 609 and ASME B16.10 providesinterchangeability with gate, ball andplug valves.

Integral position indicators on the stemand on the top mounting flange ensurepositive disc position indication,in accordance with API 609.

All metal construction and sealing andzero leakage performance translate intoan inherently firesafe valve.

Long-length hardened bearings,incorporating a standard reinforced,die-formed, flexible and replaceablegraphite bearing protector ensureadditional reliability.

Internally and externally retained,triple blow-out prevention.

Features Ideal for high temperature application up to +815C

(+1500 F). Customized to compensate the thermal expansion of the valve components and to

withstand the creep of materials at temperatures over 600C (1112F). Standard solid seal ring. The extended bonnet helps maintain the packing operating temperature at normal levels,

and this greatly reduces any risk of fugitive emissions. The actuator remains protected from extremely high line temperature. The reliability of the valve performance is guaranteed by the appropriate high temperature

materials selection. The high temperature configuration is widely used in oil and gas processing,

power and chemical fields, usually for services involving hot gases and steam.

Leakage Comparison (Seat Tightness Test)

1. Vanessa performs seat tightness test on each manufactured valve with water and air in both directions, covering all the requirements of API 598, API 6D and ISO 5208.

2. According to API 598 standard, 1 ml of water is equivalent to 16 drops.3. According to FCI 70-2 and IEC 534-4 standards, 1 ml of air is equivalent to 6.67 bubbles.4. FCI 70-2 and IEC 534-4 leak rates depend on the test differential pressure.5. Class IV leak rates depend on the valve rated capacity, and therefore they are function of the valve trim rating.6. Leak rates have been extrapolated using the relationship between seat diameter and leakage factors suggested in Note 2 of Table IV of IEC 534-4.7. Class VI leak rates depend on the Nominal Diameter, therefore they are independent of the pressure classes.

Inherently Firesafe Design

6

The Vanessa Series 30,000 is an all metal valve

complete with metal-to-metal sealing elements. It is

considered INHERENTLY firesafe by virtue of the

fact that its performance does not change during

firesafe simulation tests.

Tests have been carried out in accordance with

the most stringent international firesafe standard

such as API 607 and to the specific requirements of

major oil companies such as Elf and Exxon. These

tests confirm that the valves performance conforms

to the standards and does not vary as a result of the

fire. The Vanessa valves tested were ZERO

LEAKAGE before, during and after the fire test.
