'Standard type' valve data sheets? 1

[Oldliar]

Hi,

I've tried to find a standard type valve data sheet (similar to ISA-TR20.00.01 for instruments) - without luck. Doesn't seem to be any in the ASME selection either.

Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction?

Any help will ofcourse be highly appreciated!

Regards,

Odd

The problem with valve data sheets (I have seen a few: offshore, hydroelectrical, processing, industrial etc) is that they often are constructed without thought on how they are intended used.

Valvedatasheets differ in form and content and tend to reflect both 'old technology' valvetypes and special features for perhaps unnecessary details for the actual application.

As a result a given datasheet used as a 'general datasheet' for all valvetypes and purposes will either give irrelevant or 'too much' information or 'too little'- lacking necessary information for the special purpose intended and lacking perhaps in opening for variation towards catching alternatives for competition in price and quality for aquisition.

A valve datasheet is normally constructed to cover one or more of the points below:

1. Specify a certain type of valve for certain sizes and pressure classes with materials and certification requirements for certain fluid conditions. (Typically oil, gas,offshore). Purpose: give correct quality and standardization.

2. Give correct information and variation for procurement.

3. Give correct information for replacement.

4. Give correct information for spares.

5. Give correct information for rebuilding from manual to actuator.

The old-form data sheets are in my opinion most suited for large projects with vast number of equal valves.

In this electronic age it should even for this type of projects, and even more for smaller projects or more complicated processes, be easy to establish a fairly simple data sheet for each type, sizeegroup and pressuregropp of valves related to fluid conditions.

In addition it should be equally to include or cross-connect electronically additional verbal descriptions, details and performance requirements for each data-sheets or down to each single tagged valve.

Combined with systematic tagging of each item and cross-connected with electronic databank for refinding original detailed descriptions, you would be far better equipped to cover all points above, including necessary details to open up for alternative in construction and product improvements over time and increased alternatives when buying.

A typical example of where a datasheet is unsatisfactory and very often do not give necessary details on the one hand or on the other hand locks down on a certain constructions (and often wrong size, if size rather than flow specifications is given) are datasheets for regulating valves.

There are a wide range of data sheets available on the Norsok web pages. Maybe not what your after but they are at least all of the same format. Depends who/where you client is really. Aren't there API data sheets available from somewhere ?

Have you tried Shell's Material and Equipment Standards and Code (MESC)?

In Norway datasheets are standardised in the Norsok I-001. See the link below and then go to Annex C.

And GerhardL is right they remain quite general.

Good luck,

You can try standard data sheet on API 6D ed 2008 or ISO 14313, in appendix sheet.
there is general data sheet for valve
