Foreword
This Specification was prepared by a Joint Industry Project 33 Standardization of Equipment Specifications
for Procurement organized by IOGP with support by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Seventeen key
members from WEF and IOGP membership participated in JIP33 with an effort to leverage and improve
industry level standardization. The scope of work has been to harmonize procurement specifications from the
seventeen participating Members and develop one agreed and jointly approved Specification building on
recognized industry and/or international standards. This is one of the initial Specifications to prove this
concept.
Following agreement of the relevant JIP33 sub-team and approval by the JIP33 Steering Committee, the
IOGP Management Committee has agreed to the publication of this Specification by IOGP. The next step is
for the individual operating companies to evaluate this Specification and consider whether to replace their
own Specification with this joint Specification and thereby achieve real standardization across the oil and gas
industry for the subject at hand. This applies to the participating companies and hopefully many more WEF
and IOGP Members.

5 Design
5.1 Design Standards and Calculations

Modify Second Paragraph to Read
a. Design and calculations for pressure containing elements shall be in accordance with
ASME BPVC Sec VIII Div 1 or Div 2 with consideration for pipe loads, operating forces,

b. In addition:
1. If either version of ASME VIII is used, then the wall thickness of the valve, including
the centre sections of 3 piece ball valves, shall not be less than the value of Tm as
defined by ASME B16.34, but based on the definition of bore as defined by the 2004
(and prior versions) of ASME B16.34. The design calculations or analysis in
accordance with ASME VIII shall include the effect of the bolt holes in the valve
shell in respect of stress and/or deflection.
2. If ASME B16.34 is used as the design basis, the current version of ASME B16.34
shall be used.

Annex P
(normative)
Load on Valves
a. This Annex provides bending moments and axial forces to be used for the design of valve
bodies in conformance to 5.1 and where the manufacturer has selected ASME VIII as the
design basis, which requires consideration for pipe loads, operating forces, etc.
Purchaser may specify alternative loads and forces for specific applications.
b. Design basis and assumptions:
1. The pipe is assumed to have a standard pipe outside diameter in conformance to
ASME B36.10.
2. Pipe bore is based on the full bore sizes in API 6D.
c. Bending moment:
1. The bending moment to be applied to the valve is considered to be 25% of the
moment that would produce onset of yielding in the outer fibres of the attached pipe,
and without axial force.
2. Torsion in the pipe is not considered.
d. Axial force:
1. The force to be applied to the valve is considered to be 25% of the axial force that
would produce onset of yield in the pipe section, and without any bending moment.
e. Moment and force are based on 25% of SMYS.
f. Design of reduced bore valves should be based on the larger size. For example, a
NPS 6 (DN 150) NPS 4 (DN 100) reduced bore valve should be based on the bending
moments and forces of NPS 6 (DN 150) valve.
g. Manufacturer should run 3 sets of calculations at rated pressure of valves:
1. Load case 1 for bending moment only.
2. Load case 2 for axial force only.
3. Load case 3 for 50% bending moment + 50% axial force.
h. Acceptance criteria:
1. Stresses shall be with in allowable limits of the design code.
2. Deflections shall not result in seal performance degradation, extrusion, pinching or
other effects that could reduce valve functionality.
i. Bending moment and axial force for pipe shall be calculated in accordance with equation
P.1 and P.2.
j. Bending moment values shall be in conformance to Table P.1.
k. Axial force values shall be in conformance to Table P.2.

tolerable torque of ball and drive train for some commonly used valve designs. The
sketches are provided to give a general calculation method, and are not intended to either:
