1.5 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR NUCLEAR VALVESGenerally, the valve(s) do not require routine maintenance or part replacement scheduling based onreliability and maintainability studies (see table below) done at US and Canadian Nuclear power stations.

The routine maintenance of the valve(s) will depend on the accessibility of the valve as well as the numberof times the valves is cycled open and closed.

However, due to the frequent cycling nature in ‘Combined Cycle’ plants (especially of DSS (daily start stop)category) the frequency of checks on the following must be continually monitored:

- Bolt and stem lubrication

- Actuator settings

- Evidence of noise from actuator

- Possibility of over-pressurization

- Thermal binding

ASME B16.34 and B31.1 require that the end user take adequate precautions against over-pressurization,thermal binding and therefore provide for equalization and warm-up lines.

II SAFETY WARNINGS

FOR SAFETY REASONS,it is important to take these precautions

before removing a valve from a line.

☛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 bushing under pressure, the valve should be in fully openposition 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 orpneumatic actuators. Generally, all pressure must be relieved from both sides of the valvebefore the actuator is removed.

☛A valve in the fully open position (backseated), should not be jammed-tight (overtorqued),to avoid thermal binding. It is our recommendation that the valve be removed 1/4 turn ofthe handwheel from the fully open position. This will also ensure that packing tightnessis verifiable. In gear-operated valves, because of the backlash, it is difficult sometimes toensure this position.

☛Valve standards, such as API and MSS, caution users that successful completion of abackseat 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.

1. Warning on Over-Pressurization Relief

Under certain conditions, double-seated valveswhich have the integrate cavity filled with fluid andis subjected to increase in temperature can result inexcessive buildup of pressure in the center cavity,leading to pressure boundary failure.

Such situations occur when liquid fromcondensation, testing fluid, leakage from upstreamside, etc. accumulates in the center cavity. If thisfluid is not relieved by some means, over-pressurization may occur. It is the responsibility ofthe purchaser to ensure that adequate precautionsare taken against such an eventuality.

2. Warning on NACE Conversions

It is extremely important to ensure that valves,when converted to NACE trims in the field are doneby Velan authorized service shops. Unauthorizedconversions can result in failure to carry out post-weld heat treatment and result in severe stresscracks in non-stress relieved areas.

3. Warning on Conversion to Globe Stop Check

Velan globe valves cannot be automaticallyconverted to glove stop check valves, withoutverifying design parameters in detail with VelanEngineering. Any unauthorized conversions mayresult in the jamming of the disc in the valve.

For further details on the above subjects, pleasecontact the Customer Service Manager.

BELLOWS SEAL GATE VALVES

The bellows are sealed to the stem and thebonnet with precision welds. The welds need tobe performed in close proximity to other valveparts, which can cause damage to the bellows,stem, backseat and packing if not done carefully.Velan does not recommend the replacement of abellows in the field. If the bellows is damaged,indicated by leaking through the packing chamber,please contact Velan Field Engineering Services.Velan can supply the bellows/stem/bonnet andyoke (if required) as one pre-assembledcomponent.

3.1 TYPES OF BELLOWS SEAL GATE VALVES

Bellows seal gate valves are made in variety ofsizes to fit any application. Figures 3.1A & 3.1Bshow standard forged steel bellows seal gatevalves from 1/2" up to 6".

3.2 PARTIAL DISASSEMBLY – GASKETREPLACEMENT

Some bellows seal valves are designed with agasket to improve sealing performance. Checkassembly drawing to see if the specific valve has agasket. If the valve is leaking through thebody/bonnet joint connection, first check to see ifthe body bolts are torqued down to the requiredvalues. If the bolts are tight and the valve stillleaks, the gasket may need replacement. Followgeneral maintenance manual safety instructionsprior to any disassembly. If a valve is equippedwith a gear or motor actuator, see actuatormanual for actuator disassembly. Place matchingmarks on parts as disassembly progresses so thatthe orientation of parts can be maintained uponreassembly.

3.3 TOTAL DISASSEMBLY

Total disassembly will require the forged steelvalve maintenance manual. Read safety warningsprior to any disassembly. Refer to drawings insection 3.1.

NOTE: For seal welded bonnet bellows sealvalves, Velan offers a special weld removaltool. The tool fits onto the bonnet of the valveand is free to rotate on the stem. The toolholds a grinder in place. The operator is thenable to reduce the distance between thegrinder and valve shoulder until the weld hasbeen completely eliminated. The advantagesof this tool are its ease of use and its precisionwhich reduces the likelihood that the valvewill be damaged during welding. If the tool isnot available, the weld can be removed usinga standard 90º grinder.

A. Follow the steps in the forged steel manual forgate valves until you have separated thebonnet from the valve body. If seal welded,only the seal weld can be removed . Ifnecessary, proceed to separate the bellowsfrom the stem according to the steps B & C.This should only be done if advised by VelanField Engineering Services.

B. In order to disassemble the stem, the sealweld between the bellows and the stem ordisc coupling must be removed. Use thebellow collar as a guide to remove the sealweld with a hand grinder.

NOTE: Velan does not recommend the reuseof bellows. It is better to grind more from thebellow collar than the bonnet or stem.

C. Remove bellows from stem.

D. Remove stem by turning it out of the yoke nut.When the stem is disengaged from the yokenut, pull it out through the bottom of theyoke/bonnet assembly.

E. Disassembly is now complete. Valve is readyfor inspection, repair and replacement ofdamaged parts.

3.4 ASSEMBLY

The reassembly procedures are not as detailed asthe disassembly procedures since, in most cases,the reverse procedure is required. Refer to generalmaintenance manual prior to any assembly. It isimportant to follow basic cleanliness andlubrication requirements.

i. Place wedge on T-head of stem. Make surethat the marked side of the wedge matchesthe marked side of the seat in the body. This isextremely important on valves with welded inseats to ensure optimum sealing.

ii. Place a new gasket in the recess on the topmounting face of the body.

iii. Line up the bonnet-yoke assembly with thebody and lower into the body.

CAUTION: Do not damage the gasket whenaligning a heavy bonnet assembly on thevalve body.

iv. Apply recommended lubricant to the body-bonnet studs and then install the body-bonnetnuts. Tighten the nuts down to the requiredtorque. Do not tighten body-bonnet nuts withwedge in fully closed position.

v. Torque down packing flange as specified inrequired manual.

vi. Mount torque arm on stem.

vii. Verify operation by cycling at least three timesfrom fully open to fully closed position.

BELLOWS SEAL GLOBE VALVES

The bellows are sealed to the stem and thebonnet with precision welds. The welds need tobe performed in close proximity to other valveparts, which can cause damage to the bellows,stem, backseat and packing if not done carefully.Velan does not recommend the replacement of abellows in the field. If the bellows is damaged,indicated by leaking through the packing chamber,please contact Velan Field Engineering Services.Velan can supply the bellows/stem/bonnet andyoke (if required) as one pre-assembledcomponent.

In general, there are three types of bellows sealglobe valve sold by Velan. These are the boltedbonnet, the threaded bonnet and the bonnetlessy-pattern. The bolted bonnet and threaded bonnetvalve designs also vary depending on whetherthey are cast steel or forged steel. Most bellowsseal valves are seal welded between the body andbonnet so that every flow path is closed. Thus abellows seal valve typically will only leak wheneither a weld has cracked or the bellows hasfailed.

NOTE: Valve strokes on bellows seal valvesmay be shorter than on standard valves,especially so in the case of the Y-Pattern. Donot over-torque a valve when closing andopening.
