rings that internally relieve excess pressure from the valve cavity to prevent over-pressurization.
4.
a. Soft seal material in elastomeric O-rings is acceptable in lieu-of Lip seal for CS valve with
pressure class up to & including ASME 2500#.
b. Ball valves in utility service (Nitrogen, Air, Water), Fire water, Produced water & Injection
water are acceptable with elastomeric O-ring seal material irrespective of valve body
material. If the valve body in the above service is CRA material (SS, DSS, SDSS, Alloy
625 & 825), contractor shall treat these valves as Non-MESC valves and accordingly
different SAP Code shall be used.

James Walker Type 58/98 or equivalent). The seal pockets are not required to have any
weld overlay.
5.
a. All ball valves shall be with Lip seal arrangement except valve categorized in above clause
4(a) & (b)
b. PTFE flat ring in static/dynamic seal area is acceptable for the floating ball valves

material shall be confirmed by PDO material engineer prior to order. Whenever Lip seals
are provided for valves with CS & LTCS body material, the seal pocket of static/dynamic
lip seal shall be overlayed. For valves with SS 316 trim, SS 316L weld overlay is
acceptable, however for valves with DSS or SDSS or Alloy 825 / 625 trim material, Alloy
625 overlay is only acceptable. The compliance to Appendix-H is not applicable to this
case as its intents for providing scale free smooth surface finish.
6. For carbon steel trunnion mounted ball valve Class 600 and above, stem seal arrangements shall
have double O-ring as a primary seal along with secondary fire safe seal. All other valve ratings
are acceptable with single O-ring as a primary seal along with secondary fire safe seal.
7. Stem retention shall be achieved by:
- An integral stem shoulder on the internal body diameter; or
- An integral stem shoulder on the internal body bonnet/cover, where the bonnet/cover is
attached to the body by means of a bolted joint.
8. Vendor can opt the forged CS + weld overlay in lieu of Solid CRA ball (closure member) for the
economic benefit. The weld overlay material shall be equivalent of trim material but for the case of
DSS/SDSS/Alloy825, the weld overlay shall be of Alloy625.
9. Valves shall be of a fire safe and fire type-tested certified design, in accordance with ISO 10497.
Pre-existing designs already qualified in accordance with API Spec 6FA or API 607 are acceptable,
with the exception of API 607 4th edition. When requested by the purchaser, the manufacturer shall
provide complete fire testing reports and records compliant with the relevant standard or it should
be provided as part of MRB.

ii) Reduced bore ≤ DN 200 (≤ NPS 8).
b) For valve with nominal size, 1/2" to 3", only threaded vent connection shall be provided.
However, if vendor prefers drain connection (instead of vent) for testing purpose, then
drain connection shall be with flanged connection only.
c) Threaded connection shall have parallel profile (BSP) in accordance with ISO 228-1(With
in board primary seal and outboard secondary seal). The plug should be provided with lock

10.3. 6 Test Procedure and Evaluation of Test Results
10.3. 6.1 Measurement of Stem (or Shaft) Seal Leakages

Replace item a) with
Half open the test valve and pressurize to the level specified in 5.3. Measure the stem seal
leakage using the sniffing method in accordance with ISO 15848-1:2015, B.1.
Soft seated ball valves shall be set in the fully open position (to prevent possible damage of
the soft seats) and subjected to the test pressure.
The measurements shall commence after the test pressure has been stabilized for:
− 15 minutes for valves with fugitive emission class AH; and

− 10 minutes for valves with fugitive emission class BH.
Revision: 4
Wherever practical the same technique shall be used to measure stem leakage, this
includes valves having operator brackets, stem tapings etc. Where this is not practical on
smaller manually operated valves, the stem seal shall be sniffed locally by means of the
detector probe in accordance with ISO 15848-1:2015, B.1.
The tests shall be carried in a still (draft free) environment.
Replace 6.1 c) with
The stem leakage shall be measured during the final mechanical cycle, when the closure
member moves from the fully closed to the fully open position with the sniffing technique as
described in 6.1 a).
Replace 6.1 d) with
If the mass spectrometer reading exceeds the leakage rate (either in atm·cm³/s, Pa·m³/s or
mbar·l/s) for the applicable fugitive emission class as specified in Table 10.1, the valve has
failed the test. The minimum detectable leak rate for direct sniffing, refer to technique B4 of
EN 1179: 1 x 10-7 Pa·m3/s (1 x 10-6 mbar·l/s).
A test shall also be considered as failed, in the case of the test valve requiring more than
one mechanical adjustment.

Execute the body seals leakage measurement on the pressurized valve directly after the
stem seal leakage test of 6.1 using the sniffing method specified in 6.1 a). The test shall be
carried in a still (draft free) environment.
This measurement shall cover all potential leak paths, like the drain, vent, body joint and bolting
connections.
Revision: 4
Replace item b) with
If the mass spectrometer reading exceeds the leakage rate (either in atm·cm³/s, Pa·m³/s or

therefore Table 10.3 indicates that 2 % of each lot shall be tested (rounded-up to the next
whole number).

As per the note of Table 10.3, the maximum number of valves to be tested is 10 % per
purchase order (rounded- up to the next whole number), i.e. 106 valves for the complete
purchase. This is larger than the total number of test valves calculated in Table 10.4.
The valves shall now be selected (as per Table 10.4) at random from each lot and tested
as per ISO 15848-2 and this appendix. Each tested valve shall meet the acceptance criteria.
In case there is a failure in any of the tests, for instance any test valve representing the
second lot containing 437 valves, then this lot shall be rejected, and the failed valve shall be
repaired and retested. In addition, other valves shall be drawn at random from the lot and
tested in accordance with Table 10.3 (9 valves). Upon subsequent rejection, the lot is
rejected and the failed valve(s) shall be repaired and retested. In addition, all valves from
that lot have to be retested (and repaired) until all valves pass the tests.
10.5 Mass Spectrometers

Mass spectrometers/helium leak detectors shall have a sensitivity of at least 1.0 x 10-10 Pa·m3/s,
1.0 x 10 9 mbar·l/s or 1.0 x 10-9 atm·cm3/s as specified in ASME V, Appendix IV, section IV-

design and selection of packaging methods. As a minimum following shall be followed; vendor may
take additional measures as necessary.
Preservation
➢ Valves shall be completely cleaned to remove debris, dirt and foreign matter and thoroughly dried
(no water pockets/ moisture) inside and outside prior to packing for shipment.
➢ Internal surfaces of CS valves shall be protected by rust preventive.
➢ Light grease shall be applied on RF flanges.
➢ Protective heavy grease on RTJ groove.
➢ Silica gel pouch to be kept inside the valve bore.
➢ All valves flange faces shall be protected with plastic or metal end cap. Metal end cap shall be with
