We at ARGUS 90 to all lengths to onsure state-of-the-art perfection in feach and every ball valve that leaves our factories, Naturally perfection starts with people. People like the ARGUS pioneers ‘who iteraly wrote the book on ball valves in Germany more than 50 years ago. Since then, nearly 200 domestic patents alone document innova tive ARGUS know-how, and testify to the fruits ofits ongoing research development effort. ‘Today, every bell valve bearing the ARGUS name isthe product of ’ highly skiled, highly experienced professionals. All welding, for example, is performed by qualified tube welders using a process approved by Germany's stringent, government- “appointed TUV acceptance authority and complying with the ‘ASME Code, Section IX [ARGUS experts, of course, are backed up by some of the latest, ‘most sophisticated plant equipment in the industry. All the advantages of machine programming for automated schedules fare systematically exploited. Thus we are more flexible and more responsive to changing situations. This alone gives us a significant competitive lead Applications of ARGUS ball valves ree Seer PH rc Applications of ARGUS ball valves = Oiland gas On- and Offshore (Manifolds ~ separator systems ~ iter systems ~ drying systems) = Giland gas transport (Pumping and compressor stations ~ pig launching stations) = Gas distribution (Measuring/Metering and pressure regulation stations) Petrochemical industry, its processes and storing facilities = Chemical industry, its processes and storing faclities Construction of power plants, nuctear or classical (oiland gas) = Gasification of coal = Hydrogenation of coal = Transport of solids = Food industry We have mentioned just a few important industries where our bal valves are used, Why choose ARGUS ball valves? eet | rere? Why choose ARGUS ball valves? = because they remain constantly leakproof throughout the whole range of pressuteltemperature ratings. They are sultable for vacuum services, = because their spring supported ball seats ensure a pressure relief because the stem is double sealed = because wear on the sealing is reduced to a minimum by a clear separation between the sealing and the bearing functions = because they are fre-sate = because they ate eafe to oporate due to the anti-blow-out stem = because they are ant-static = because they have long lifetime and low operating torques = because they are designed in accordance with international Standards, rules and regulations because they are constructed, manufactured and tested under Quality control in accordance with a detailed quality assurance rogram, " Technical features ‘Sealing of ARGUS ball valves Effective sealing depends on = the contact pressure = the contact surface of the seat ~ the accuracy of surface finish on the ball and ball seat ~ the sealing design and the sealing material ‘The contact pressure is bul up by the intial stress in the seat (compact or spring supported) and the medium pressure, The extremely high durability of ARGUS sealing systems is ‘achieved on the one hand by a close observance of manutac- turing tolerances, which are guaranteed by the ARGUS Quality ‘Assurance System and on the other hand by construction such as ‘2g the ARGUS Teflon ball seats, backed up with a stainless stee! support ring ‘The width of the contact surfaces is kept in a balanced proportion between the aspects of safety and economy by an absolute spherical ball, a maximum surface finish of ane (metric) micron and a fixing of the ball for DN 65 and larger. ovn-steam vp-stream ‘The seating principle of the floating ball = Sealing is offocted at the downstream seat The ball is pressed against the opposite seat by the medium pressure, ~ In doing so the seat rings have a double function. They sel off and at the same time serve as a bearing ~ The seal atthe upstream seat can be relieved in order to avoid build-up of pressure. rresdure down-stream upstream ‘The sealing principle of the fixed ball = Sealing is effected at the upstream seat, ‘The spring supported seat is pressed against the fixed ball by the medium pressure. ~ Fixing of the ball can be achieved in ditferent ways: by bearing pads in the body by trunnions. by bearing stems ‘A pressure build-up is prevented by the spring supported seats in connection withthe fixed ball ‘The separation of sealing and bearing functions ensures exemplary operating rellabllty and durability of ARGUS ball valves. ‘This design aspect is observed without any compromises. bearing secondary sea! | bonnet seal primary seal —soving wt | vane ON <50 mm N60 mm ‘The unique ARGUS double stem seal system In ine serviceable long life double stem system, incorporating mary seal in several material possibilties (e.c. PTFE, Viton...) and the secondary seal ring and bonnet seal in elastic for ‘emergency and fire safety. Stem supported in bearings to ensure seals are free from valve operating loads. This stem sealing construction fuly complies with the TA-Luft fugitive emissions regulations and neets EPA-Requirements cetiied by Loyd’, Anti-blow-out ‘The stems are designed in a way which prevents them from being blown out when any incompetent operation occurs. Fire sate In case of fire, metalic contact surfaces serve as emergency sealing, supported by heat resistant sealing materials. The ‘operating safety can thus be guaranteed in case of emergency up to.a temperature of +600 °C and can be verified in accordance with the requirements of BS 6755 and API 607 or in accordance with customers’ specifications.
