INSTRUMENT CONTROL VALVES


November 26, 2014

1.1 Control Valves


Control valves shall be installed with the actuator in the vertical
position on a horizontal line. Control valves shall be installed so that
they are readily accessible from grade or platforms. Wherever
possible, they should be located at grade for ease of maintenance.
Clearance shall be provided above and below a control valve so that
the bottom Bange and plug or the actuator and plug may be removed
with the valve body in the pipeline. SuDcient clearance shall also be
provided for valve removal.

1.2 Shutdown/ Blowdown Valves


All actuated ball valves shall be of the 90º rotation type and be
complete with all necessary controls mounted on the valve. Actuator
types shall be Pneumatic Spring Return. The valve stem orientation
shall be as stated on the data sheet. Correct operation of the valve
shall not be affected by the position of the valve or actuator.

1.3 Pressure Relief Valves


All pressure relieving devices shall be sized in strict accordance with
applicable local, state, and national code requirements. Safety relief
valves shall be sized by calculating ASME areas required for the most
severe relieving case and shall follow the ASME requirements.
Nomenclature and formulas used shall be according to API RP 520.
Valve selection and installation shall be based on API RP 520, Part I
and Part II. Closed relief valve discharge systems shall be designed
in accordance with API RP 521.
