MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-151ii FOREWORD This first edition of Standard Practice for Pressure Testing of Knife Gate Valves was approved and published in 2016. It was developed for th

14、e purpose of providing a uniform means of testing knife gate valves commonly used in the “full open“ and “full closed“ type of service for isolation. This Standard Practice is not intended for use with control valves. Refer to ISA 75.19.01 and FCI 70-2 for Control Valves. There are five distinct typ

15、es of knife gate valves; all derived from the original patent in the 1950s. Each type offers a different performance and ability. There are two main groups: A) Cold Working Pressure (CWP) rated valves that do not adhere to ASME B16.34, and B) B16.34 Class 150, 300 and 600. In addition, there are two

16、 main Categories: C) Resilient Seated and D) Metal Seated. Modern advances in knife gate design have and will present additional types in the future; including designs which are ready for use now, such as Double Block and Bleed. It is the owners or specifiers responsibility to be aware of the differ

SCOPE This Standard Practice establishes requirements and acceptance criteria for shell and seat closure pressure testing

19、of resilient, non-metallic (e.g. ceramic), and metal-to-metal seated knife gate valves of all types. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Knife Gate Types 2.1.1 General Service Knife gate valves for general purpose use designed to MSS SP-81 and MSS SP-148. 2.1.2 Severe Service Knife gate valves for severe service use

20、 designed to MSS SP-135 and MSS SP-146. 2.2 No Visible Leakage 2.2.1 The term “no visible leakage“, applied to a hydrostatic test liquid, is defined as a leak rate that will produce no visible weeping or formation of drops (1) at the test pressure and (2) for the duration of the test and (3) at the

21、pressure containing boundary. 2.2.2 The term “no visible leakage“, as applied to air or gas testing, is defined as a leak rate(l)that will produce no visible formation of bubbles in a water immersion test or after application of leak detection fluid at the (1) test pressure and (2) for the duration

22、of the test and (3) at the pressure containing boundary. 2.3 Production Pressure Test Pressure tests that include closure member integrity, seat leakage, and shell integrity testing. Production pressure tests verify the pressure retaining and containing capability of production units manufactured fo

23、r sale. 2.4 Seat and Closure Member Test An internal pressure test of flow regulating elements (seats, seals, and gate) to demonstrate static pressure performance within allowable leakage tolerances as required by the knife gate and seat type. 2.5 Shell Leakage Test An internal pressure test to prov

24、e out the integrity of the external pressure boundary. 2.6 Other Definitions Other definitions may be found in MSS SP-96. NOTE: (1) The “leakage rate” (as noted in Section 2.4.2) is based on the measured leakage of nitrogen gas from a needle valve with a 0.167 in. (4.24 mm) O.D. x 0.091 in. (2.31 mm

25、) I.D. tube submerged in water to a depth of 1 inch (25.4 mm). The tube end was cut square and smooth with no chamfers or butts and the tube axis was parallel to the surface of the water. Leakage was adjusted to a level equal to 40 bubbles in 10 minutes at 90 psig (6.0 bar). The 40 bubbles equaled 1

26、.6 milliliter (ml) or, 1 bubble = 0.04 SCC. Using this data, a leak rate equivalent to 1 bubble every minute is found to be 4.1 x 10-5in3/sec (6.7 x 10-4ml/sec). MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-1512 3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 The manufacturer shall be responsible for the performance of tests specified her

27、ein. 3.2 When ASME Class rated valves conform to the requirements of MSS SP-135, the testing requirements of ASME B16.34 shall also apply. 3.3 Production pressure tests (see Section 2.1) shall be performed on production units manufactured for sale. 3.4 The test fluid for the shell leakage test shall

28、 be water (which may contain a corrosion inhibitor), kerosene, or other fluid with viscosity not greater than that of water. Temperature of the test fluid shall not exceed 125 F (52 C). 3.5 The test fluid for seat and closure member test shall be air, inert gas, or liquid, such as water (which may c

29、ontain a corrosion inhibitor), kerosene, or other fluid with viscosity not greater than that of water. Temperature of the test fluid shall not exceed 125 F (52 C). 3.6 Valves shall be substantially relieved of air or gas when tested with liquid. 3.7 Seat closure tests for NPS 4 (DN 100) and larger v

30、alves shall be conducted after an acceptable shell test. Seat closure tests for smaller valves may be conducted before or after the shell test at the manufacturers option. 3.8 Valve test fixture loads applied to valve ends shall be limited to those required to effectively seal the valve ends. Bolt o

31、n flanges may be used for testing per agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. 3.9 Leakage detection devices, e.g., pressure decay devices, may be used for detecting leakage provided that they perform at the pressures specified in Sections 4 and 5. The valve manufacturer shall be able to demons

32、trate that, when these devices are used, the test results are equivalent to the requirements of this Standard Practice. 4. SHELL LEAKAGE TESTS 4.1 Each valve type shall be hydrostatically pressure tested at 1.5 times the valves 100 F (38 C) design pressure rating, rounded off to the next higher 25 p

33、si (1.5 bar) increment. 4.2 Shell leakage tests shall be conducted with the valve in the partially open position and with the valve ends closed. 4.3 Visual leakage through the pressure boundary walls is not acceptable. Gate/Stem seal or packing leakage during the shell test shall not be cause for re

34、jection. Stem seals or packing shall be capable of retaining pressure equal to the valves 100 F (38 C) design pressure rating without visible leakage. 4.4 The minimum duration of the shell leakage test shall be as per Table 1.

SEAT AND CLOSURE MEMBER TESTS 5.1 Valve designed for shutoff or isolation service shall be given a fluid seat leakage test. 5.1.1 After the shell test, each General Service valve shall receive a low pressure hydrosta

36、tic seat leakage test at 40 psi (2.8 bar) differential pressure in the direction of closure. Seat test duration shall be in accordance with Table 3. 5.1.2 The high pressure seat closure test shall be performed on all Severe Service valves at a fluid (liquid or gas) pressure no less than 1.1 times th

37、e valves 100 F (38 C) design pressure rating rounded to the next higher 5 psi (0.5 bar). Seat test duration shall be in accordance with Table 3. 5.1.3 At the manufacturers option, a gas pressure of no less than 80 psi (5.5 bar) may be substituted for the valve sizes and pressure classes listed in Ta

38、ble 2. TABLE 2 Alternate Gas Test Valve Size Pressure Class NPS (DN) Class 12 (300) and Smaller 300 and Lower 4 (100) and Smaller All 5.1.4 Seat leakage testing shall be performed with seat surfaces free of materials that aid in sealing except as provided for in Sections 5.1.5 and 5.1.6. 5.1.5 When

39、necessary to prevent damage during valve actuation, a light oil of viscosity no greater than that of kerosene may be applied to seating surfaces. 5.1.6 When lubricants are used for assembly operations, it is not required that these be removed prior to testing if their presence has no influence on th

40、e test results. 5.2 For valves of the double seating type, the test pressure shall be applied successively to each end of the closed valve and leakage to the opposite end checked. 5.2.1 Alternate method for valves with independent double seating (at the option of the manufacturer): the pressure may

41、be applied inside the body of the closed valve and each seat checked for leakage at the valve ports, or the pressure may be applied to the valve ports and the sum of seat leakage checked at the body. 5.3 Valves conforming to this Standard Practice in all respects, except the following conditions, sh

42、all be tested as described in Section 5 of this Standard Practice; however, the closure test requirement may be reduced to 1.1 times the maximum rated closed position differential pressure if any of the follow conditions apply: 1) Valves that are designed for operating conditions that have pressure

43、differential across the closure member limited to pressures less than the 100 F (38 C) pressure rating. 2) Valves having closure members and/or actuating devices (direct, mechanical, fluid, or electrical) that would be subject to damage at higher differential pressures. These exceptions may be exerc

44、ised upon agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer. The manufacturers name plate data shall include reference to any such limitations. 5.4 Valves of single or symmetrical seat design that are capable of seating in two directions require seat testing in both directions. MSS STANDARD PRACTICE

45、SP-1514 5.5 Allowable leakage rates shall be as stated below: 5.5.1 The maximum allowable leakage for metal seated knife gate valves of each seat closure shall be as indicated in Table 4. 5.5.2 Valves having a resilient seat shall have no visible leakage for the duration of the seat test. 5.6 The du
