MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Note: The IntegriFuse valve utilizes specially compounded Nitrile (HNBR) seals, unique in the industry. HNBR= Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber, known for its excellent high temperature performance, high tensile strength, as well as high resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, and ozone. *2 IPS (RP) valves and smaller= Acetal 2 IPS (FP) valves and larger= Polypropylene
GENERAL INFORMATION
SUMMARY OF VALIDATION TESTING
Each valve is designed in accordance with ASME B16.40, the code of Federal Regulations, Part 192 and other international standards. Integrity Fusion Products, Inc, IntegriFuse and third party labs conducted testing under these specifications as well as other supplemental tests, as follows”
SHELL TEST:
Each valve is tested at both 4 and 150 psi to verify the pressure boundary integrity of the valve shell.
All valves passed this test.
SEAT TEST:
Each valve seat (since the IntegriFuse valve is a bi-directional valve, both seats are tested) is tested at 4 and 150 psi to verify the pressure containing ability of the valve closure element and seat seals.
All valves passed this test.
PRESSURE BOUNDARY VERIFICATION:
This test is designed to verify the basic pressure boundary integrity of the valve shell. ASME B16.40 requires this test be performed at 73°F (38°C) for 1,000 hour. See supplemental testing for additional testing completed that exceeds the minimum requirements.
All valves passed this test.
CLOSURE VERIFICATION:
This test is designed to verify the structural integrity and pressure retention capability of the valve closure element (ball). The valve is closed and the inlet pressurized for a minimum of 1000 hours at 100°F. The outlet is open to atmosphere.
All valves passed this test.
TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE:
This test is designed to verify the valve will perform properly over the temperature range from -20°F to 100°F. The valve is first cooled to -20°F, operated against a differential pressure equal to the design pressure, and subjected to shell and seat leakages test while at -20°F. The valve temperature is then raised to 100°F and the above process repeated. In addition to operating properly and not leaking, the valve operating torque must not exceed specified limits at both temperature extremes.
All valves passed this test.
OPERTATING TEST:
This test is designed to verify the valve will not be damaged or leak after being operated ten times with a differential pressure equal to the design pressure applied across the valve as it is opened. After the ten cycles of operation, each valve is shell and seat tested.
All valves passed this test.
FLOW TEST:
This test is performed to verify each valve design has at least the specified minimum flow capacity (CV) in accordance with ASME B16.40.
All valves passed this test.
Note: CV valves presented within this document are the typical valves of Integrity Fusion Product valves and are based on the mathematical equation set forth by ASME B16.40. All Integrity Fusion valves far exceed the minimum requirement set forth by ASME B16.40. Please contact your Integrity Fusion Products representative for more data on the physical testing that was performed.
Supplemental Testing
In addition to ASME B16.40 Qualification requirements, the following tests were conducted to ensure that the product performance exceeds our customer’s requirements.
SUSTAINED PRESSURE VERIFICATION
Testing was conducted at 670 psi Hoop and at the temperature of 176°F for a minimum of 1000 hours.
Note: The normal time for this test under these conditions is 170 hours.
All valves passed this test.
IMPACT TEST
Each valve was subjected to impact testing at temperatures of 0°F and 100°F. A 20 pound weight with a special TUP was dropped from a height of 3 feet on the valve actuator, a total of five times. This test was performed at both temperatures. The valve must continue to operate properly and pass the basic valve shell and seat tests after the impacts.
All valves passed this test.
TENSILE TEST
Each valve was subjected to a tensile test at loads which would create in the attached pipe either 25% elongation or elongation equal to that caused by the thermal expansion due to 100°F temperature change. The valve must remain operable and not leak during or after this test.
All valves passed this test.
CYCLE TEST
Each valve was tested for 1000 cycles. The valves were opened each cycle against a 100psig differential pressure. At the conclusion, each valve must pass the basic shell and seat test.
All valves passed this test.
BLOWDOWN TEST
Each valve was subjected to a blowdown test. The intent is to verify the valve will operate properly and the seats will not be damaged during this high-energy release. The valve was installed in a pipeline with a significant reservoir of pressurized air stored upstream. The downstream was open to atmosphere. The upstream reservoir of air was pressurized to 100psi and the valve opened against this full differential. The reservoir of air blew through the valve. At the conclusion, each valve must pass the basic seat tests.
All valves passed this test.
