| | NDV apologizes for the delay in responding to the referenced FP&L letter. We had hoped to receive application responses to our notification letters but as of this writing we have not received any complete information. |
| | NDV has performed a design review of the piston check valve with the intent to address the functional and re-assembly problems experienced at St. Lucie. The following areas were addressed as noted: |
| | |
| | A. Pr re e I/Bonn Are I m Bonnet Retainer Capscrews FP8L reported having difficulty in sealing the ADVanseal using the capscrew without pressure. The current capscrew is a 5/16" diameter capscrew. A 1/2" diameter capscrew will be used in the future. This will provide approximately three (3) times the gasket load. |
| | : 2. Galling of the Bonnet Retainer Threads FPBL has experienced galling of the bonnet retainer threads. The current retainer is made of 316 stainless steel with chrome plated 12 series threads. NDV is evaluating replacing this design with a 17-4PH bonnet retainer (no chrome plating) with 8 series threads. |
| | Assuming successful completion of the new bonnet retainer evaluation, this design will be put in place. |
| | A/DV plans to include the philosophy of both enhancement with the smaller piston check valves. These two (2) enhancements will affect inventory and part interchangeability. |
| | B. CI nin D in fV lv s Prior hi men NDV has evaluated several methods to assure complete drying of the piston check valves prior to shipment, i.e. disassembly, baking, etc. We have concluded that the most effective method is to disassemble the valves after hydrostatic testing, dry the parts and reassemble without the gasket and anti-rotation pin (Part No. 258) installed. The gasket and anti-rotation pin will be packaged with the valve and a tag placed on the valve requiring installation of these two (2) parts after valve installation. |
| | V Iv Perf rm nce F n ional I m Disc Guide Area of Body Neck Bore We evaluated this area to determine if the body guides could be improved. Several methods were evaluated, i.e., steeving the body bore with hardened material, reshaping the exhaust port, etc. All methods are costly. The conclusion was reached that the above changes were cost prohibitive and the better resolution is to use a smaller valve for oscillating flow application in order to place the disc in a more open position where it is better guided by the body. |
| | |
| | C. Valve Pert rmanO Func Ion I Items (Conttnued) |
| | : 2. Disc - Body Material Couple tt was stated by FP8L that fretting is more apt to occur where a large difference in material hardness exists. A/DV selected the body-disc material couple for wear resistance, galling resistance and castability, weldability of the bodies. |
| | A more important factor to reduce the potential for fretting is reduced stress levels. NDV does not plan to change the body or disc materials. As discussed in A.1. above and in the later root cause analysis, use of a smaller valve would resolve this situation. |
| | Rough Machining left in the Body Neck Bore In May, 1993, NDV had changed its rough machining process to setup and rough cut the neck bore and seat pocket using the same setup method and single point tooling-boring as the finish machining process. Prior to this time the neck bore was rough machined on a radial drill. This drilling process was not always performed on the same centerline as the final machining and the drill had a tendency to tail off center. This area has been resolved as described above in May, 1993. |
| | Ratio Guide Length - Disc Diameter NDV's design criteria limits the potential disc tilt to less than 1/2'nd requires a ratio of one (1) or greater for the disc, guide length to diameter. |
| | The 2"-1 878¹ Piston Check disc has a ratio of 1.12:1. Both NDV's design criteria and the 2"-1 878¹ design are representative of NDV and competitive valve designs which have been proven to be successful in most services. |
| | Roo C s NDV evaluated the as found condition of the piston check valve that stuck open. |
| | To assist in our root cause analysis, we performed flow tests on two (2) 2"-1878¹ Piston Check valves (one (1) valve returned from FP&L, S/N ET401-9-6). |
| | Reference No. 3 Report, enclosed, documents the task and results. The testing was performed to evaluate valve performance at various forward flow rates. The test conclusion was the valve always closed when forward flow ended. |
| | |
| | Eg As a result of our evaluation of the FPBL failed valve and our testing, we have concluded that the root cause is the disc oscillation, caused by the reciprocating pump, causing fretting to take place in the valve body disc guide area. The fretting area provides a configuration in the body guide that allows the disc to stick open without forward flow and with reverse flow. |
| | A/DV's recommendations to eliminate the valve operational problem are (preferred listed first): |
| | A. Use of in-line check valves in reciprocating pump applications. This valve design provides better wear resistant materials as disc guides throughout the entire valve stroke. |
| | ~~ |
| | Use of smaller piston check valve (valve size or reduced port) in reciprocating pump applications to more fully open the disc where better body-disc guiding is available. Attached are graphs of flow rate versus disc position and Cv versus disc position to be used to evaluate T-pattern piston check valve size selection. Where a smaller T-pattern piston check valve |
| | ~ |
| | produces too high a pressure drop, use of a Y-pattern piston check valve may resolve this concern. |
| | T-pattern and Y-pattern piston check valves and in-line check valves are within A/DY's product lines. Availability of Y-pattern piston check valves is sclleduled for the second quarter of 1997. |
| | lf further discussion is required on the above, please feel free to contact us. |

A/DV 2"-1 8780 Piston Check Valves
Reference:
- 1. FP&L JPN-SPSL-96-0372, August 16, 1996 Letter
- 2. NDV S.O.'s ET401 and RZ814
- 3. NDV Test Report No.'s RZ814, Test Report of Flow Test on a 2"-18780 Globe Piston Check Valve, October 2, 1996 Gentlemen:
NDV apologizes for the delay in responding to the referenced FP&L letter. We had hoped to receive application responses to our notification letters but as of this writing we have not received any complete information.
NDV has performed a design review of the piston check valve with the intent to address the functional and re-assembly problems experienced at St. Lucie. The following areas were addressed as noted:
A. Pr re e I/Bonn Are I m Bonnet Retainer Capscrews FP8L reported having difficulty in sealing the ADVanseal using the capscrew without pressure. The current capscrew is a 5/16" diameter capscrew. A 1/2" diameter capscrew will be used in the future. This will provide approximately three (3) times the gasket load.
- 2. Galling of the Bonnet Retainer Threads FPBL has experienced galling of the bonnet retainer threads. The current retainer is made of 316 stainless steel with chrome plated 12 series threads. NDV is evaluating replacing this design with a 17-4PH bonnet retainer (no chrome plating) with 8 series threads.
Assuming successful completion of the new bonnet retainer evaluation, this design will be put in place.
A/DV plans to include the philosophy of both enhancement with the smaller piston check valves. These two (2) enhancements will affect inventory and part interchangeability.
B. CI nin D in fV lv s Prior hi men NDV has evaluated several methods to assure complete drying of the piston check valves prior to shipment, i.e. disassembly, baking, etc. We have concluded that the most effective method is to disassemble the valves after hydrostatic testing, dry the parts and reassemble without the gasket and anti-rotation pin (Part No. 258) installed. The gasket and anti-rotation pin will be packaged with the valve and a tag placed on the valve requiring installation of these two (2) parts after valve installation.
V Iv Perf rm nce F n ional I m Disc Guide Area of Body Neck Bore We evaluated this area to determine if the body guides could be improved. Several methods were evaluated, i.e., steeving the body bore with hardened material, reshaping the exhaust port, etc. All methods are costly. The conclusion was reached that the above changes were cost prohibitive and the better resolution is to use a smaller valve for oscillating flow application in order to place the disc in a more open position where it is better guided by the body.
C. Valve Pert rmanO Func Ion I Items (Conttnued)
- 2. Disc - Body Material Couple tt was stated by FP8L that fretting is more apt to occur where a large difference in material hardness exists. A/DV selected the body-disc material couple for wear resistance, galling resistance and castability, weldability of the bodies.
A more important factor to reduce the potential for fretting is reduced stress levels. NDV does not plan to change the body or disc materials. As discussed in A.1. above and in the later root cause analysis, use of a smaller valve would resolve this situation.
Rough Machining left in the Body Neck Bore In May, 1993, NDV had changed its rough machining process to setup and rough cut the neck bore and seat pocket using the same setup method and single point tooling-boring as the finish machining process. Prior to this time the neck bore was rough machined on a radial drill. This drilling process was not always performed on the same centerline as the final machining and the drill had a tendency to tail off center. This area has been resolved as described above in May, 1993.
Ratio Guide Length - Disc Diameter NDV's design criteria limits the potential disc tilt to less than 1/2'nd requires a ratio of one (1) or greater for the disc, guide length to diameter.
The 2"-1 878¹ Piston Check disc has a ratio of 1.12:1. Both NDV's design criteria and the 2"-1 878¹ design are representative of NDV and competitive valve designs which have been proven to be successful in most services.
Roo C s NDV evaluated the as found condition of the piston check valve that stuck open.
To assist in our root cause analysis, we performed flow tests on two (2) 2"-1878¹ Piston Check valves (one (1) valve returned from FP&L, S/N ET401-9-6).
Reference No. 3 Report, enclosed, documents the task and results. The testing was performed to evaluate valve performance at various forward flow rates. The test conclusion was the valve always closed when forward flow ended.
Eg As a result of our evaluation of the FPBL failed valve and our testing, we have concluded that the root cause is the disc oscillation, caused by the reciprocating pump, causing fretting to take place in the valve body disc guide area. The fretting area provides a configuration in the body guide that allows the disc to stick open without forward flow and with reverse flow.
A/DV's recommendations to eliminate the valve operational problem are (preferred listed first):
A. Use of in-line check valves in reciprocating pump applications. This valve design provides better wear resistant materials as disc guides throughout the entire valve stroke.
~~
Use of smaller piston check valve (valve size or reduced port) in reciprocating pump applications to more fully open the disc where better body-disc guiding is available. Attached are graphs of flow rate versus disc position and Cv versus disc position to be used to evaluate T-pattern piston check valve size selection. Where a smaller T-pattern piston check valve
~
produces too high a pressure drop, use of a Y-pattern piston check valve may resolve this concern.
T-pattern and Y-pattern piston check valves and in-line check valves are within A/DY's product lines. Availability of Y-pattern piston check valves is sclleduled for the second quarter of 1997.
lf further discussion is required on the above, please feel free to contact us.
