I INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

This manual has been prepared by Velan engineers, design-
ers and maintenance personnel to assist you in obtaining
many years of satisfactory service from your continuous
blowdown valves. It will also assist you in restoring your
valves to the best working condition with a m­ inimum of time
and expense.
Velan valves are designed and manufactured based on many
years of research and product development and are constantly
being improved. Before beginning any major work, we recom-
mend that you read this booklet carefully at least once to under-
stand the valve’s physical condition. Please note that if you do
not understand the r­ eason for the service problem, we suggest
that you get in touch with your local Velan representative or call
the Customer Service Manager for technical assistance.
This valve is designed for continuous blow-down but can be
used for sampling, boiler feed pump bypass relief where high
pressure drop service is associated with wire drawing, ero-
sion and cavitation which destroy conventional globe valves.
It incorporates a hardfaced Stellite 6 disc and seat and a
venturi diffuser made from stainless steel type 316. Orifice
range: 1 /8”, 3 /16”, 5 /16”, 3 /8”, 1 /2”, 3 /4”, and 1” depending on the
capacity required.
Stellite 6 provides the best possible protection against dam-
age to seat and disc. The valve, however, is not absolutely
safe from damage. If, for example, a particle of hard foreign
matter is trapped between the seat and the disc and then
pressed into the seat in valve service, damage might occur.
Before beginning any major work, we recommend that you
carefully check the nameplate on the valve and record the
figure number to identify the type and size of valve. See the
“Essential Features of Velan Valves” form on the following
page for an explanation of Velan “Figure Numbers”.

RECEIVING & PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION II

2.1 RECEIVING INSPECTION 2.3 STORAGE

All valves must be examined for signs of damage
that may have occurred during transportation. Any
damage should by analyzed and a report should
be issued. Serious damage should be reported to
your local Velan representative or to the Customer
Service Manager so that a suitable arrangement for
repairs can be made without delay.
2.2 QUALITY CONTROL DOCUMENTATION
For valves purchased with Quality Control (QC) cer-
tification, check the package of documents to see
that the Quality Control certificates are complete as
per the purchase order.
Valves should be stored in a suitably sheltered
place to prevent contamination by weather, dirt or
dampness. The valve is shipped with end protec-
tors on the inlet and outlet which should stay on
the valve until it is ready for installation.
NOTE: If actuators are involved, please refer
to the applicable manufacturer’s instructions
for storage.
2.4 HANDLING AND PREPARATION
End protectors must be removed from all types
of valves and connections must be checked for
cleanliness. Any visible foreign matter must be

3
removed from end connections on weld-end
valves. The weld-end preparation must be cleaned
properly with a suitable solvent such as acetone or
alcohol. Do not use solvents containing chloride
or fluoride. Ensure that the tapered area between
the packing flange and stem is clear and free of
foreign debris.
2.5 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Valves should be installed and welded into the
pipeline with the disc in a fully closed position to
prevent damage to the valve during installation.
Leaving the disc in a fully closed position also pre-
vents weld spatter from falling directly onto the
mating faces of the seat and disc.

PRECAUTION: Allow time for welding to

cool before trying the valve for the first
time in the pipeline.
WARNING III

FOR SAFETY REASONS,

it is important to take these precautions

Personnel making any adjustments on the valves should wear

* safety equipment normally used to work with fluid in the line
where the valve is installed.
Before removing the yoke nut under pressure, the valve should be in fully open
* position in order to prevent injuries.
Before removing a valve from a line, line pressure must be relieved
* with no exception.
Velan valves can be equipped with a variety of manual gear, electric motor,
* hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Generally, all pressure must be relieved from
both sides of the valve before the actuator is removed.
A valve in the fully open position (backseated), should not be jammed-tight
* (over-torqued), to avoid thermal binding. It is our recommendation that the
valve be removed 1/4 turn of the handwheel from the fully open position.
This will also ensure that packing tightness is verifiable. In gear-operated
valves, because of the backlash, it is difficult sometimes to ensure this position.

*
Valve standards, such as API and MSS, caution users that successful
completion of a backseat test should not be construed as a
recommendation by the manufacturer that a valve may be repacked
while it is under pressure. The backseat may be used as a means
of stopping or reducing packing leakage until the packing
can be replaced under no pressure. Removal of packing
with the valve under pressure is at the owner’s risk.

4.3 OPERATION 4.5 GENERAL ASSEMBLY INFORMATION

4.3.1 General
All valves require examination before being put
into operation. Additionally, valves should be
inspected regularly during operation and should
receive prompt attention when trouble arises.
As a general rule, valves should be subjected to
scheduled maintenance.
4.3.2 Smoothness of Operation
Stem threads, yoke bushing and other working
components outside the fluid area should be
lubricated frequently and at least once every six
months. Specific lubricants and frequency of
application are shown in the recommended
lubrication Table B of Section 4.4. Valves that are
not operated frequently and which may remain
open or closed for long periods of time should be
worked (even if only partially) about once a month.
IMPORTANT: Excessive handwheel effort
can indicate the following:
1. Improperly lubricated or damaged
valve stem.
2. Valve packing compression too tight
(check torques in Table C).
3. Faulty or damaged valve parts.
4. Foreign debris on threads and/or
packing area.
1. The most important fact to be considered is
the cleanliness of all parts. All rust and dirt
should be removed from all parts with a wire
brush or emery cloth. Oil and grease should
be removed with suitable solvents.
2. All threaded parts (cap screws, nuts, studs)
must be well relubricated. The stem and yoke
bushing threads should be clean of old grease
before a new application of grease is applied.
Recommended lubricants can be found in
Table B, Section 4.4. Use correct lubricant for
each individual part.
3. Repaired or replacement parts must be
checked to see that all repair procedures have
been done and that all replacement parts
(e.g., packing rings, gaskets, etc.) have been
checked for size so that they will fit into the
valve being serviced.
4. All orientation marks assigned during
disassembly must be observed so that correct
orientation is maintained. Where applicable,
orientation marks should be made on parts
near the body serial number (e.g. wedge, disc,
seat, etc.).
4.6 SEAT TIGHTNESS - CLOSING TORQUES
Even a new valve with seating faces lapped to
perfection and a full seat-disc contact will be pres-
sure-tight only if sufficient stem load is applied.
The minimum stem load for each size of valve var-
ies with operating pressure, but should be known
by the operating personnel in order to seat the
valve properly. Over-torquing up to 25% will not
damage the valve.

V INFORMATION PERTINENT TO BLOWDOWN VALVES
5.1 PACKING CHAMBER LEAKAGE
5.1.1 General
If moisture or dripping occurs around the stem
or the I.D. packing chamber, the following points
should be investigated before removing the
packing.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, the valve
must be depressurized before removing
packing or dismantling gland nuts.
1. Check if the packing flange is torqued down to
the correct torque as shown in Table C. Make
sure the gland is not binding against the
packing chamber wall or stem. If so, open
valve to backseat position and firmly tighten
up on backseat. Loosen the packing flange
and re-align the gland bushing. Tighten up
the packing flange a little at a time on each
side, then torque down to the correct torque as
shown in Table C.
2. After retightening, cycle the valve for the
length of the packing chamber, first open then
close and retorque to original torque value
shown in Table C. Do this until there is no
more packing consolidation (no torque loss,
approximately 3 to 5 times). If steps 1 and 2
do not stop leakage, proceed with the removal
and replacement of packing rings.
5.1.2 Packing Ring Removal and Backseat Usage
For safety reasons, the valve should be depres-
surized. All valves have a backseat and safe use
of this feature is the responsibility of the user. To
backseat a valve, it is necessary to open the valve
fully and to tighten the stem against the backseat
firmly.
5.1.3 Removal with special tools
Remove old packing rings using special tube
wrench/packing remover shown on page 5 in
Section 4.2, Tools. This tool is available through
Velan. Next follow disassembly procedures in
Section 5.2.1, General steps 1-7.
8
5.1.4 Repacking
1. Before inserting the packing, check the stem
and the packing chamber wall to make sure
there is no damage. Scratches no deeper
than .001” to .003” (0.025 to 0.076 mm) can be
removed by polishing the surface with a fine
emery cloth, by lapping, or by machining.
NOTE: Velan uses combination graphite
packings rings consisting of two braided
graphite end rings (first and last) and four
intermediate graphite ribbon (flexible
graphite type).
2. Insert the first packing ring, (braided graph-
ite) squeeze the ring manually and place as
deeply into the chamber as possible followed
by second, third, fourth and fifth intermediate
rings. The sixth and last packing ring should
be braided graphite.
NOTE: The packing rings should be
staggered approximately 120° apart.
3. Place the gland bushing and packing flange
in position. Make sure gland bush enters
packing chamber for approximately
1/8” (3 mm)
4. Lubricate the gland studs and nut flats with an
anti-seize compound. Compress the packing
by tightening the gland nuts in sequence and
increments of 20% of the final torque value
shown in Table C.
5.1.5 Packing torque
1. Clean all studs and nuts. Visually inspect all
threads to ensure removal of all foreign matter,
rust, corrosion, burrs and previous lubricant.
2. Liberally cover the stud threads and the
female threads of the nuts with Hi-Temp.
anti-seize compound.
3. With nuts hand-tight, tighten up the packing
flange nuts a little at a time on each side, then
torque down to the correct torque in
accordance with the valve size and pressure
class, as shown in Table C.

5.2 DISASSEMBLY
5.2.1 GENERAL
CAUTION: For safety reasons, make sure
all pressure has been relieved from both
sides of the valve before beginning any
disassembly work.
1. Remove handwheel nut and handwheel.
2. Remove gland nuts and studs, loosening both
sides equally. If valve is fitted with live-loading,
remove guide bushing and spring washers
(Belleville washers). Raise packing flange and
remove split gland bushing.
3. Grind off tack weld between yoke bushing and
yoke.
4. Loosen hex socket set screw (35) and remove
the indicator dial.
5. Make sure the valve is almost closed, but not
tight on the seat. Use a crescent wrench to
unscrew the yoke bushing counterclockwise.
Should the yoke bushing bind, put handwheel
on stem and close the valve a little. Continue
to unscrew the yoke bushing counterclockwise.
Remove handwheel and yoke bushing.
6. Place tube wrench/packing remover with the
cutting edge first over stem and into the pack-
ing chamber. Place guide bushing into top of
valve. Place the torque wrench adapter onto the
crowned end of the tube wrench/packing remov-
er and secure with set screw. Using the hex
drive on the torque wrench adapter, turn in
a clockwise direction while pushing down. This
will pick up the packings within the spiral flutes
of the tube wrench/packing remover. Pull up the
tool and remove packings within the spiral flutes.
Re-insert tool to remove any remaining pack-
ings. After complete removal of packing, remove
guide bushing, torque wrench adapter and tube
wrench/packing remover. Using two packing
washer hooks, insert them into the packing
washer holes and pull it up over the stem.
7. Insert the crowned end of the tube wrench/
packing remover in valve body. Use a metal bar
through the top holes of the tube wrench/
packing remover to unscrew the backseat
retainer counterclockwise. Remove stem/ disc
assembly. The valve is now ready for servicing.

V
5.3 SEAT AND DISC REPAIRS
5.2.1 Seat Leakage
Leaks can also develop from failure to close the
valve tightly, resulting in high-velocity flow through
a small opening. The hardfacing material (e.g.,
Stellite 6) is corrosion and erosion-resistant, but
grooves, pit marks or other surface irregularities
may still form on the mating surfaces. Valves which
leak should be repaired as quickly as possible to
prevent greater damage caused by high velocity.
5.3.2 Seat Refinishing
1. Disassemble valve (see Section 5.2). Select
the proper head for the seat refinishing tool.
Consult Velan Customer Service Department
for seat diameters. Minor damage can be
repaired with the lapping head, but use the
cutting head first if there is severe damage.
Remove the screw on the end of the tool with
a small Allen key, position the cutting or
lapping head and tighten the screw.
NOTE: If valve is not in an upright position,
use the yoke bushing to hold the tool in place.
Figure 5A Using the seat refinishing tool
2. Use an air or electric motor for cutting and
lapping if you have one. Place the air motor
adapter on the end of the tool. If you don’t
have an air or electric motor, you can use a
ratchet and socket wrench, but the repair will
take longer.
a) If you are using the cutting head
Insert the seat refinishing tool into the valve

5.4 REASSEMBLY
5.4.1 General
1. Slip backseat onto stem, chamfered edge
down. Lubricate backseat retainer threads
(see Table B). Then slide backseat retainer
onto stem, crowned end up.
2. Place packing flange under yoke, flat side up.
Insert stem assembly through packing flange
and into body.
3. Thread in backseat retainer, use the crowned
end of the tube wrench/packing remover to
tighten the backseat retainer clockwise against
the backseat.
4. Then place torque wrench adapter into the
tube wrench/packing remover. Align holes to
insert a round bar through both parts. Use a
torque wrench and continue to tighten until
torque value shown in Table E is obtained.
NOTE: Velan recommends the use of the
tool kits listed on page 5 for the best
maintenance results.
5. Insert packing washer, chamfered edge down.
Then insert the set of precompressed packing
rings one at a time, beginning and ending with
the braided rings. Use the crowned end of the
tube wrench/packing remover to tap the rings
into place.
NOTE: If uncompressed packing is used,
the die-formed rings must be precom-
pressed individually.
6. Slip split gland bushing under packing
flange, one half at a time, chamfered edge
up. Lubricate gland studs with anti-seize com-
pound, pass them through packing flange and
thread on the gland nuts, tightening both sides
equally (hand-tight).
11
V
For live-loaded valves reinstall the disc springs
and guide bushings onto the studs tightening
both sides equally (hand-tight).
NOTE: The gland bushing should engage into
the body by 1⁄8” (3 mm) min.
7. Screw on yoke bushing clockwise, using a
large crescent wrench. Should the yoke
bushing bind, it’s because the stem has
bottomed on the seat. Correct this by backing
off the handwheel slightly. Secure yoke bushing
to yoke with tack weld.
8. Continue tightening packing nuts or guide
bushing for live-loaded valves with a crescent
wrench. Install the crescent key on the torque
wrench and finish tightening the nuts to the
torques shown in Table C.
