Notes: This trim chart provides information on materials included in standard valves . Special materials, trims and con?gurations are available
upon customer request. 10,000–15,000 psi slab gate valves and gate valves with ball screw operators have unique trim charts. Please refer to their respective section of the brochure for details.
1. Materials for sour service to latest edition of NACE MR0175. Alternate materials are available, for special material classes designated by API or project requirements. Explanation of suf?xes for material classes DD, EE and FF:
0,5 = 0.5 psia maximum partial pressure of H2S.
1,5 = 1.5 psia maximum partial pressure of H2S.
NL = no limit to H2S.
API material class ZZ may be used when materials that have previously been used for sour service will not comply , with , ;current NACE MR0175/ISO standards
2. Charpy impact test results provided as required by API temperature rating and material class.
3. API temperature ratings X and Y require working pressure of valve to be de-rated as per API 6A annex G.
4. Nitriding is standard on all gates and seat. Hardfacing with tungsten carbide or HF6 also available upon request.
5. ASTM A564 Gr 630&nb, sp;(17–4 ph) HH1150 stems are not acceptable for sour service above 0.5 psia of H2S. corrosion resistant alloys per NACE MR0175/ISO standards are recommended
6. Te?on inserts standard – metal to metal seats used if requested by customer or for equipment manufactured for use in elevated temperature service (API temp ratings X & Y)
