1 BODY Available both in cast and forged steel, it has been designed to meet all the requirements of ASME, API and British Standards. The body-bonnet connection is made by a pressure seal gasket. Its prestress condition is achieved by means of bolts screwed to the bonnet flange. Ends are normally buttwelding although they can be also flanged on request. All bodies are provided with integrally cast bosses, located and sized in accordance with ASME B16.34, which allow the provision of drain and bypass connections, supplied on request. Four internal guides keep the discs assembly in place, enabling operation of the valve with stem in both vertical and horizontal positions. Two internal bosses in the lower part of the body are machined to create the mechanical stop of the lower wedge. 2 BONNET Usually constructed in the same materials as the body, being designed so that the wall thickness always exceeds the requirement of API 600. A back seat (13) bush is fitted inside the bonnet lower cavity, to provide a closure when de valve is fully open. This permits the valve to be repacked while in service. The bonnet has a deep stuffing box in which packing rings are placed. Stuffing box is designed with sufficient space to allow lantern ring to be fitted. 3 YOKE Separate rigid yoke is provided to withstand the thrust of the actuator. Large windows allow easy access and ventilation of the packing area. The yoke is connected to the body by a

two piece clamping ring (193) an four clamp bolts. This connection is very solid and enables easy maintenance at site. The upper part of the yoke is suitably machined to house the yoke sleeve (11). The yoke is usually made of cast carbon steel regardless the type of body material, unless otherwise required by the client. 4 STEM Constructed in stainless steel, machined from solid bar stock. The simple piece stem in threaded in the upper wedge. A conical shoulder is also provided to ensure effective and tight seal backseat which allows the stuffing box to be replaced with the valve in service. The stem dimensions conform to API 600. Special care is taken in the machining of the stem, including the final polishing of the travelling area (contact with the stuffing box). This allows a lowfriction surface and a superior corrosion resistance. 5 - 125 GLAND BUSHING AND GLAND FLANGE They are supplied in two separate self aligning pieces, to ensure uniform pressure is effected during tightening of the packing. The upper part of the gland, which comes in contact with the gland flange, is spherical in shape. The gland flange is made of carbon steel but, upon request, other materials can be supplied. 22 - 128 GLAND BOLTS AND NUTS The gland studs are of the eye-bolt type, which can be swung outwards for ease of gland repacking. 6 SEAT RING They are supplied in forged stainless steel, hardfaced with Stellite-6 (2mm of min.

thickness). Seat rings are renewable, normally welded to the body. Sealing contact surfaces, are lapped for a perfect tight seal. Controlled hardness differentials are maintained between the wedge discs and the seat rings, as required by API 600 Std. 9 DISCS The two forged discs are made of the same material than the body, and the seating areas are hardfaced with 2 mm minimum thickness of Stellite-6. The important benefits of these revolving discs are explained widely in another section of this catalogue. 11 YOKE SLEEVE Designed to permit removal from the bonnet or yoke while the valve is in service. The yoke bushing assembly is mounted in ball bearings. It is normally made of cast aluminium bronze, having high resistance to wear and high melting point. Other materials such as Ni-resist can be supplied on request. 13 BACK SEAT The back seat can be supplied as a threaded stainless steel bush, welded to the bonnet or of integral type. It can be hardfaced with Stellite-6 or orther materials as required. This seat allows the valve to be repacked under pressure. 15 HANDWHEEL The handwheel can be supplied either in cast construction of fabricated from steel tube. The handwheel is designed to allow easy operation of the valve. Other types of control are available and, in some cases, are indispensable for a good operation, for instance: Chain wheel Gear operator Hammer handwheel Geared hammer

handwheel Electric actuator Electro-hydraulic actuator Pneumatic actuator 17 PRESSURE SEAL GASKET The pressure seal gaskets are usually supplied of compressed graphite, bordered on the upper and lower edges with braided filaments of carbon fiber. Gaskets can also be made in stainless steel. 68 PACKING Packing is made of an adequate number of preformed rings. For general applicatios high grade graphite material is supplied, using compressed rings in the center and braided anti-extrusion rings on top and bottom. Graphite is selected of an approved quality. Other types of packing are also available for particular services. 80 DISC RETAINERS The disc retainers are made of the same material than the body. They are firmly connected to the upper wedge and keep the discs in place while allowing their revolving feature. The system of Stem, Discs, Upper Wedge and Disc retainers are crossed by a Wedge Pin (198) of Stainless Steel, connected by two nuts (129 A) and cotter pints (198 A). 132 SPACER RING Made of a single piece covering the upper part of the pressure seal gasket. It is normally manufactured in the same material as the body. 133 GASKET RETAINER It is made normally of the same material as the body, and constructed in four pieces, called segments. The segments are sized to

minimize the gap between them. The segmental ring supports all the forcers transmitted from the bonnet through the pressure seal gasket and the spacer ring. It is calculated to withstand all the force without cracking. 134 BONNET RETAINER Designed sufficiently resistant to withstand the forces transmitted by the bonnet screws (111). The bonnet retainer is normally made of the same 7 & 7A UPPER & LOWER WEDGES The wedges ares constructed in forged or cast steel of the same material than the body. The contact surfaces are hardfaced with Stellite-6. The special geometry of these wedges has been designed so that they cannot became disengaged while they are sliding. The wedges impart thrust to the discs which move towards the seat rings (6) assuring a tight seal . Two wedge springs (56) are located in the cavities between the upper and

material as the body, but it can be constructed in any other material on request. It is machined to mach exactly with the body, what guarantees a perfect alignment of the unit. 193 YOKE CLAMP The connection between body and yoke is created by means of a bipartite clamping ring. The internal connection between the clamp, body and yoke is conical, assuring a perfect tightening.

lower wedges, in order to absorb the inertial forces and permit a soft contact of the sliding inclined part of the wedges.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE DOUBLE DISC WEDGE ASSEMBLY

RELIABLE OPERATION
The Double Disc Gate Valve has been designed to assure reliable operation under the most severe service conditions. Due to the special configuration and geometry of the upper wedge inclined face, any possibility of locking the disc in closed position is eliminated, even when closed quickly or subjected to severe thermal transients.

UNIFORM SEAT WEAR

The incorporation of a unique revolving disc feature assures maximum seat life. The two independent discs, during each closing stroke and immediately prior to the disc seating, rotate a few degrees in the plane of the seats. This rotating action forces the disc to seat in a different position on each stroke, equalizing wear on the seats and the discs. This movement of the discs creates a lapping effect whenever the valve is operated, removing particles from the sealing surfaces before they can become wedged between the seats and the disc and cause damage.

LOW PRESSURE SEALING

The wedge assembly is designed to impart sufficient thrust to each disc to maintain low pressure sealing. As the differential pressure across the disc increases, the seating load also increases, thus providing a tight seal throughout the entire range of operating differential pressures. Since the discs are independent of each other and the design is symmetrical, positive sealing can be maintained in either direction.

RAPID CLOSURE EASY MAINTENANCE

The four piece double disc wedge assembly can neither be incorrectly assembled nor become disengaged while in service. No special fitting at site is required for maintenance. The repair of minor seat or disc damage is greatly simplified because the seats and discs can be lapped independently of each other. Disassembly and maintenance can be accomplished without special tools or elaborate rigging. BBE's Double Disc Wedge system permits rapid closure without seat distortion. Internal moving parts decelerate independently of each other with the result that inertial forces are dissipated in a series of impacts over a period of time. The largest of these is transmitted directly to the bottom of the valve body on a non-sealing surface. Forces transmitted directly to the seats are a small percentage of the total inertial forces. This is a distinct advantage over valve designs in which the total inertial force is absorbed directly by the seating surface.

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION OF SEALING PRESSURE

The tight seal is guaranteed even when the valve seats have become out of parallel due to body distortion, due to the uniform distribution of the sealing pressures allowed by the exclusive wedge design.
