Company Profile

Series 30,000 metal

Vanessa has been successfully producing and

marketing valves worldwide for almost four decades.
After having been a subsidiary of Keystone, the
company joined Tyco International Ltd. in 1997 to
operate within one of its core business segments,
Tyco Flow Control. In 2000, Vanessa became part of
Tyco Valves & Controls Italia S.r.l., a leading
European valve manufacturing group, which
includes the Raimondi and Fasani brand names.
In 1975 Vanessa was the first company to
introduce the revolutionary metal-to-metal seating
technology into the market by offering the Series
30,000 Rotary Process Valve, a unique quarter turn,
triple offset, zero leakage valve. This has enabled
end users to cover a huge variety of applications

High-cycle thrust bearing

The high-cycle thrust bearing assembly rigidly
fixes a super hardened thrust washer to the shaft
while maintaining an intermediate sliding thrust washer,
to extend an already long cycle life.

in many different industries and has given Vanessa

an enviable reputation world-wide.
Today, as from its inception, Vanessa is the
international leader in the manufacture of high
technology rotary process valves.
The achievements of the Vanessa valve in the
international market have allowed a constant growth
of the company. The reasons for its success can
be attributed to the use of advanced technology,
sophisticated quality control systems and above
all the exclusive design of the Series 30,000.
Vanessa is committed to a constant
improvement of its technology and equipment,
an attitude which has contributed to the highest
levels of performance of its products and the

Resilient metal seal

satisfaction of its customers.

The flexible, resilient metal seal is located on the disc

and is secured but not locked in position, so that the
metal seal has the freedom to flex. The seal ring is
located with a reference pin.

Stellite hard-face seat

Hardfacing ensures durability in the broadest range
of applications, including higher temperatures and
dirtier services. Stellite seat is standard on the
complete range of valves.

loaded to achieve the tightest shutoff with the least

amount of torque. Torque seating allows the
Vanessa 30,000 valve to shutoff completely,
regardless of the direction of flow or line pressure.
* Zero Leakage means no visible leakage during test duration
as per API 598 and/or API 6D.

Offset 2
Achieved by placing the
shaft offset to one side
of the pipe and valve
centerline. The purpose
of this offset is to drive
away the seal from the
seat during the 90

Before seat contact

Offset 1
Achieved by placing the
shaft behind the plane
of the sealing surface.
The purpose of this offset
is to have a continuous

Seated

Design Standards
Offset 3
Achieved by inclining the seat and seal cone centerline in
respect of the pipe and valve centerline. This third offset
completely eliminates rubbing. Any chances of associated
wear and leakage between the seat and disc-mounted seal
ring during travel are non-existent.
Vanessa optimizes the contact angle between the seat and
seal for enhanced performance. Most gate valves provide
a contact angle of between 3 and 6 degrees. Such designs
create a locking taper that can cause dangerously high
seating or unseating torques.
Vanessas contact angle is above the locking taper range
and its geometry eliminates the possibility of jamming,
ensuring the forces necessary to seat or unseat the valve do
not substantially vary over the service life of the valve.
Vanessa Valves have been certified to SIL 3 ratings

API 6D.
Quarter turn non-rubbing design is
achieved by triple offset geometry,
completely eliminating all seat to seal
rubbing throughout the 90 degree
rotation of the disc.
Stellite hardfaced standard integral
seat results in broader applications,
longer valve life and less maintenance.
Single-piece cast body, with face-to-face
dimensions in accordance to ISO 5752,
API 609 and ASME B16.10 provides
interchangeability with gate, ball and
plug valves.
Integral position indicators on the stem
and on the top mounting flange ensure
positive disc position indication,
in accordance with API 609.
All metal construction and sealing and
zero leakage performance translate into
an inherently firesafe valve.
Long-length hardened bearings,
incorporating a standard reinforced,
die-formed, flexible and replaceable
graphite bearing protector ensure
additional reliability.
Internally and externally retained,
triple blow-out prevention.

Features
The metal sealing is virtually unaffected by the very low temperatures: the valve
performance and the operating torque are the same at both room and cryogenic
temperatures.
Standard solid seal ring.
The cryogenic valve design includes an extended bonnet, removing the packaging
from the cold temperature zone. This minimises the risk of fugitive emissions.
Vanessa cryogenic valves are type approval tested according to Shell Tec.
Spec. no. T-2.253.730, up to ASME class 600
All valves are tested in the fully equipped facilities for cryogenic testing at Vanessa plant.
Ideal for any application involving media at very low temperatures, such as LNG, LPG,
liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

High Temperature Configuration

Body Styles
Double Flanged, Lugged, Buttweld

Up to +815 C (+1500 F)
Body Materials
WC6, CF8M and other stainless steel materials
suitable for high temperatures operations.
Features
Ideal for high temperature application up to +815C
(+1500 F).
Customized to compensate the thermal expansion of the valve components and to
withstand the creep of materials at temperatures over 600C (1112F).
Standard solid seal ring.
The extended bonnet helps maintain the packing operating temperature at normal levels,
and this greatly reduces any risk of fugitive emissions.
The actuator remains protected from extremely high line temperature.
The reliability of the valve performance is guaranteed by the appropriate high temperature
materials selection.
The high temperature configuration is widely used in oil and gas processing,
power and chemical fields, usually for services involving hot gases and steam.

Steam Jacketed and Traced Configuration

Body Styles
Double Flanged
Temperature range
Up to +450 C (+842 F)
Body Materials
WCB, CF8M. Other materials available on request.
Features
An excellent configuration to prevent any fluid crystallisation in presence of particular media.
The heat diffused by valve body jacket reaches all the critical areas, in particular the valve
seat and the bearings area.
The jacketed valve is manufactured using the double flanged body style. Vanessa
recommends the use of a long face-to face pattern which increases the heating action.
The jacket is dimensioned according to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
For particularly harsh applications, Vanessa advises to use its Steam Jacketed and Traced
Trim configuration. The addition of the traced trim provides an internal heating system
obtained by drilling the shaft from top to bottom, to maximise the heat transfer to shaft
and bearings.
The jacketed configuration is targeted to usage in sulphur recovery units, and in any
application with high fluid crystallisation risk.

Notes

1. Vanessa performs seat tightness test on each manufactured valve with water and air in both directions, covering all the requirements of
API 598, API 6D and ISO 5208.
2. According to API 598 standard, 1 ml of water is equivalent to 16 drops.
3. According to FCI 70-2 and IEC 534-4 standards, 1 ml of air is equivalent to 6.67 bubbles.
4. FCI 70-2 and IEC 534-4 leak rates depend on the test differential pressure.
5. Class IV leak rates depend on the valve rated capacity, and therefore they are function of the valve trim rating.
6. Leak rates have been extrapolated using the relationship between seat diameter and leakage factors suggested in Note 2 of Table IV of IEC 534-4.
7. Class VI leak rates depend on the Nominal Diameter, therefore they are independent of the pressure classes.

Inherently Firesafe
Design

The Vanessa Series 30,000 is an all metal valve

complete with metal-to-metal sealing elements. It is
considered INHERENTLY firesafe by virtue of the
fact that its performance does not change during
firesafe simulation tests.
Tests have been carried out in accordance with
the most stringent international firesafe standard
such as API 607 and to the specific requirements of
major oil companies such as Elf and Exxon. These
tests confirm that the valves performance conforms
to the standards and does not vary as a result of the
fire. The Vanessa valves tested were ZERO
LEAKAGE before, during and after the fire test.

Notes
1. For the dimensions A, B, E, and for Gear Selection and dimensions, please refer to the relevant figures in the previous
Double Flanged tables.
2. Suggested orientation is with the valve shaft horizontal or inclined from vertical.
3. For service above 200C (392F), valve body should be insulated to limit body-to-trim differential temperature to 100C (212F).
4. All dimensions are in mm and weight is in kilos.
5. Please consult Vanessa for other sizes.

Vanessa has manufacturing experience for much larger sizes than those indicated
(for example: 112/CI.150, 56/CI.300, 48/CI.600, 36/CI.900). Please consult factory for further information.
