2. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The following Specifications and Standards shall be used with this PDS.
2.2. Deleted
3. MATERIALS
1) [R] Austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy valves (body, bonnet, cover, and cap) shall meet the
following requirements:
a) Trim including stem and seats, gland assemblies including bolting, and trunnion support
materials shall be of the same nominal chemistry as the body. Hard facing equal to CoCr-A
shall be provided for seating surfaces when specified, and is always an acceptable alternative
for seating surfaces.
Note: Hard facing (equal to CoCr-A) includes such trademarked materials as Stellite 6,
Stoody 6, and Wallex 6.
b) Bonnet and cover bolting material for valves NPS 3 and larger will be specified and shall be of
the same material specification as the bolting used for connecting piping.
2) [S] Solid high nickel alloy valves shall not have any components made from cast material.
3) [S] Bar stock shall not be used to manufacturer solid high nickel alloy valves larger than NPS 1.
4) [*][R] The selection of the correct elastomer and or non-metallic seal material must be done with
consideration of ALL the design conditions (pressure, temperature, chemical environment, etc.)
under which the valve will operate and shall be based on the selection criteria as defined in PG-
PDS 29-01-37. Supplier will include selection details in his proposal to the Purchaser for approval
by the Owner's Engineer prior to award.
4. DESIGN
1) [R] Valve design shall meet the requirements of ASME B16.34 and the following product
specification standards as applicable:

(1) For base metal use the value shown or the value given in the specific ASTM
standard, whichever is lower.
(2) No testing is required on the HAZ.
(3) Testing is only required on the base metal if hot forming (forging) followed by
water quenching is used.
(4) Plugs or balls of 13 Cr material shall have a maximum Brinnell hardness of 225.
(5) Except where noted, tests shall be made with a Brinell Testing Machine. A
portable hardness tester may be used providing the diameter of the indentation
ball is not smaller than 7 mm and not larger than 10 mm, and the hardness of the
reference bar is within ±12.5 percent of the maximum hardness required for the
specific material.

NOTE:
(1) Gusset stub dimensions are minimum.
c) PWHT shall be done after welding the attachments to the valve body.
d) Gusset stub material shall be of the same nominal chemistry as the valve body, except that
carbon steel may be used for P-1, P-3, P-4, and P-5 materials.
e) Filler metal shall match the chemistry of the valve body as closely as possible.
f) Gussets shall be welded by valve manufacturers where seat integrity can be assured. No
welding to valve bodies on site is permitted.

2) [M] Machined or threaded exterior surfaces of carbon steel, cast iron, ductile iron, and ferrous
alloys with a nominal chemistry of 12 Cr and below, shall be protected from corrosion during
shipment and subsequent storage by coating with a rust preventive of a type as follows:
a) To provide protection during outdoor storage for a period of twelve months exposed to a
normal industrial environment.
b) To be removable with mineral spirits or any Stoddard solvent.

Code Description
* An asterisk indicates that additional information from the Owner’s Engineer is required, or
approval by the Owner’s Engineer is required.
C Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is reduced costs.
Reduced cost in this context refers to initial investment cost and does not include Life-Cycle
cost considerations. Life-Cycle cost considerations are captured under reliability,
maintainability, or operability purpose codes.
E Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is driven by
environmental considerations. Environmental considerations typically include specifications
intended to protect against emissions/leakage to the air, water, and/or soil. Deviations from the
specifications contained in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to
local environmental policy.
I Assigned to paragraphs that provide only clarifying information such as Scope statements,
definitions of terms, etc.
M Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to provide for
maintainability of equipment or systems. Maintainability provisions are those that facilitate the
performance of maintenance on equipment/systems either during downtimes or during on-
stream operations.
O Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to assure
operability of equipment or systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to
perform satisfactorily even though conditions are off-design, such as during startups, process
swings, subcomponent malfunction, etc.
R Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to improve or
assure the reliability of equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of
equipment/systems to operate without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance
interventions.
S Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is avoidance of
personnel or operational safety incidents. Any deviation from the specifications contained in
such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to local safety
policy.
Personnel Safety: Refers to the avoidance of recordable personnel injuries; i.e., burns, cuts,
abrasions, inhalation, or exposure to dangerous substances, etc., that
could result in medical treatment, restricted work, lost-time incidents, or
fatalities.
Operational Refers to the prevention and control of process releases, fires,
Safety: explosions, etc.
