SUMMARY
OF BLOCK-VALVE TEST RESULTS Results of the Anchor-Darling block valve tests conducted at Marshall Test Facility are contained in Section 3-. of' Referencei-(3)
Theva-lves,, although different ins avre similar operating, and design conditions and employ similar body, seat surface and packing materials.
The smaller SCE. BTock Valve requires. Tess operating force as can be seen by the load comparison in Table:2-l.
Both valves are of the-parallel disc design and have the same internal contour and sealing.mechanism. It is this similarity which permits extrapolation of the EPRI test results to the SCE Valve.
Evaluation testing-of the Anchor/Darling test va]lvewas performed on September 25-, 1980, with the Fisher PORVmounted downstream of the test.valve.
The valve was cycled 21 times and the results of these tests are summarized in Table 3.4-3 of Reference (3)-, Evaluation Test Data.
Prior to these evaluation tests, pretest calibration and checkout activities were conducted. At this time operating torque requirements were evaluated and different-valve operators were used as part of the checkout evaluation.

SUMMARY
OFANCHOR/DARLING BLOCK A VALVE DESIGN ADEQUACY REPORT Since the Anchor/Darling Block valve-tested by EPRL has some design differences, compared to. the. SCE Block: Valve and the EPRLvalve was tested with:
an electric motor operator while theSCE valve employs an air operator, Anchor/Darling was requested to prepare an evaluation of the two valves. This evaluation was.to compare-the designs, review the EPRI test data and recommend any necessary modifications for-the SCE Block Valve in order to meet the specification requirements.- Details of the-study appear-in Anchor/Darling Report"No. E3050-00Treference (4). Findings of the study will be summarized herein.
0901E:l 6
The EPRI Block Valve testing was used as a basis in determining the adequacy of the SCE Block Valve. The SCE Valve design was examined for the following characteristics:
- 1. Design comparison with the EPRI Test Valve
- 2. Opening and-closing resistance forces
- 3. Available actuator thrusts
- 4. Structural adequacy
- 5. Isolation characteristics 4.1 Design Comparison The SCE Block Valve is a 2-inch 1500 lb. doublel disc gate valve using a BS&B fail open, direct,. type 70-13-1-D pneumatic diaphragm operator. The design of the 3-inch 1540 lb. double disc motor operated:EPRI Test Valve is similar to the SCE. Valve having, the same internal contour and sealing mechanism. This similarity allows extrapolation of the-EPRI test results to the SCE Valve.
Differences, in seat diameter, stem size and design pressures were taken into account when determining valve resistance-forces for the SCE valve..
4.2 Valve:Resistance Forces.:.,
Forces resisting valve opening.and closing may be attributed to seat load, pressure unbalance on the valve stem and stem packing drag. Seat. and packing drag are frictional forces resisting motion, while stem unbalance assists valve opening.
These resistance forces were. calculated. for. the SCE valve using the EPRI test.
results, and adjusting values-to account fbr the design differences between the EPRI and SCE valves. A summary of the resulting forces is presented in Table 2-1.
0901E:1 7
4.3 Actuator Output Force The actuator used to operate the SCE Block valve is a pneumatic diaphragm actuator using an internal coil spring to provide opening force and air pressure to provide the.:closing forces.
Assuming the spring rate is 1020 lbs.
per inch, and: the spring is-initiallycompressed two (2) inches, the actuator can provide the following output forces:
Valve Full' Open: - Spring Rate x Compression U020' lbinch x 2 inch =- 2040 lbs...
Vave-FuTT Close: - Spring Rate x' (Compression. + Stroke) 1020 lb/inch x (2 inch + 2.5 inch) =-4590 lbs.
Available actuator forces to close, the valve is a function of the input air pressure and internal spring forces. Using 85 psig air supply, the actuator can provide the following output forces:
Valve Full. Open:,-
Air-Pressure x7Diaphragm Area. - Spring Load 85 psig x 140 in
- 2040 lb 9860 lbs..
Valve Full Closed: --Same as Full Open 85' psig x 140 in2 - 4590 lbs =710 lbs.
This data is plotted along with the valve resistance forces as a function of stem position-and is presented as figure 4-1.
As can be seen the SCE air operator can provide the required thrust to open and close the SCE Block Valve assuming 85 psig air avaflability and a 1020 lbs. per inch spring..
4.4 Valve Structural Analysis A structural analysis was-provided by-Anchor/Darling to. review stresses at.
critical sections of the valve.
0901E:1 8
The analysis verifies that operating loads will not structurally damage the valve with regard to operability or pressure integrity. The actuator is designed to withstand its maximum rated thrust of 14000 pounds which is 190%
of that required to close the SCE Block Valve.
4.5 Isolation Characteristics The sellite seating surfaces of the EPRI test valve were galled after cycle testing at the Marshal l Steam Station. It-is expected that the SCE Block valve would exhibit. the same: wear when-exposed to: similar conditions.
A solution to this. problem has not yet been'determined. Anchor/Darling is expected to conduct additional tests to define the ciuse of the problem and propose a resolution. The wear observed will result in seat leakage as noted during the EPRI tests, but should not effect valve operation as noted by the 21 successful evaluation, test cycles.
5.0
SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSIONS, The design of: the SCE Block Valve is simlTar to the,esign of the EPRI' test valve and the-results of the EPRI' te st can be used as a basis for evalution of e.The fi open. d.iaphragm actuator of the-SCE BLock Valve is capable of opening and closing the valve against resistance forces determined using the EPRI test results.

Investigations made by SCE in response to the Anchor/Darling study revealed the actuators installed at SCE incorporated a nested spring arrangement with a spring rate of approximately 1850 lb/in. Since an actuator with a 1020 lb/in.
spring can provide adequate operating characteristics with 85 psig air supply according to the valve manufacturers. SCE is considering replacing the nested.
spring arrangement with a 1020 lb/in. spring per the Anchor/Darling study.
Anchor/Darling" is still reviewingsthe-galling problems noted in the EPRI Test.. SCE must, monitor the A/D investigations. and. give consideration to incorporating any Anchor/Darling.recommendations when they become available.
In conclusion the, SCE Block Valve is-capable of completing its intended function to open and close against the system flow conditions as tested by EPRI during the Marshall Tests.
