Ball Valve Design
Full Bore vs. Reduced Bore
• Full Bore
- Internal diameter of flow path is equivalent to the
attached piping. A 6” full bore valve would have
the same internal diameter as a 6” pipe.
- Also referred to as “Full Port” or “Line Size”
• Reduced Bore
- Internal diameter of flow path is less than that of
the attached piping. The internal parts (ball,seat
etc..) are typically one valve size smaller. A 6”
reduced bore valve might have 4” internals.
- Also referred to as “Standard Bore” or “Standard
Port”

Seat Supported or Trunnion
• The type of construction of metal seated ball valves can be split into
two general categories, seat supported and trunnion mounted.
- In a seat supported valve the ball is allowed to “float” and is held in place and
supported by the seats.
- The ball in a trunnion mounted valve is held in place and supported by bearings
mounted in the body.

- Seat Supported (Floating Ball)
• The ball is supported and held in place by
the seats.
- Trunnion Supported
• The ball is supported and held in place by
two bearings (trunnions) in the body.
• Starts at 10” 7150 – 8” 9150 & 6” 9300

Seat Supported or Trunnion
• General Rules
- Determining factors
• Valve cost
– Seat supported is less expensive than
trunnion
• Actuation cost
– Trunnion valves require less torque,
therefore smaller actuator, therefore
less cost for the actuator
• Application requirements
– Some applications require one over
the other
» Double block and bleed –
generally trunnion
- Typical size ranges
• ASME 150 and ASME 300
– Seat Supported up to 8”
• ASME 600
– Seat supported up to 4”

X-MBV Seat Supported
• H seat - High Temperature Metal Seat
- H-style seats are the standard offering for seat supported X-MBV valves and are
suitable for a wide range of applications in liquids and gases over a broad
temperature range. They perform well in media containing low to medium solids
concentration as long as particle size is not too small (fine powders). H seats are
suitable for bi-directional shutoff and control service.
- The H-style seat design consists of a spring-energized “H” seat in the body cap
and a locked “K” seat in the body. The preferred flow direction is with the cap
upstream. Process pressure and the spring-energized seat push the ball to seal
against the downstream seat.
28
© Metso
X-MBV Seat Supported
• G seat - Dust/Particle Proof High Temperature Metal Seat
- G-style seats are identical to H-seats except for an additional graphite seal
around the O.D. of the seat. This additional sealing enables these seats to
operate in media with very small particles, dust or powders and substances that
are prone to buildup and solidification. G seats are suitable for bi-directional
shutoff and control service.
- The G-style seat design consists of a spring-energized “G” seat in the body cap
and a locked “K” seat in the body. The preferred flow direction is with the cap
upstream. Process pressure and the spring-energized seat push the ball to seal
against the downstream seat. Graphite seals prevent media from entering the
spring cavity from either side of the seat.
29

X-MBV Seat Supported
• J seat - Solids Proof Metal Seat
- J-style seats are recommended for services with high concentrations of abrasive
particles, catalysts, fines, and media prone to buildup and solidification. J seats
are suitable for shutoff service only.
- A stack of graphite seals is pressed into the seat pocket to the extent that it acts
as a spring behind the seat, producing a scraping seat load on the ball that is not
dependant on metal springs and seals that can become jammed by solidified
media.
30

X-MBV Trunnion
• B seat - Solids Proof Metal Seat
- B-style seats are recommended for media containing very small particles, dust or
powders. Bseats are suitable for shutoff and control service
- B seats are pushed against the ball by an Inconel spring to achieve sealing.
Graphite and elastomer seals prevent media from entering the spring cavity from
either side of the seat.

The Sequence of Lock Hopper Function
1) Catalyst requiring regeneration is gathered in the
disengaging zone of the stacked three-bed reactor
2) Catalyst flow is stopped by a special segmented ball
valve located immediately below the disengaging
zone and upstream of the two Neles lock hopper
block valves. The two valves above the lock hopper
are fully open before catalyst is allowed to flow
through them.
3) The segmented valve is then opened allowing
catalyst to flow into the lock hopper.
4) When the lock hopper is full the segmented valve is
closed. After the flow of catalyst is completely
stopped, the two Neles valves are closed, isolating
the lock hopper.
5) The lock hopper is then inerted with nitrogen.
Following this, the two lock hopper block valves
located below the lock hopper are opened allowing
the inerted catalyst to flow, by gravity, into a lift
engager for transport to the next part of the process

J seats are suitable for shutoff service only. - A stack of graphite seals is pressed into the seat pocket to the extent that it acts as a spring behind the seat, producing a scraping seat load on the ball that is not dependant on metal springs and seals that can become jammed by solidified media. 30

Bseats are suitable for shutoff and control service - B seats are pushed against the ball by an Inconel spring to achieve sealing. Graphite and elastomer seals prevent media from entering the spring cavity from either side of the seat. 31

    © Metso The Sequenceof Lock Hopper Function 1) Catalyst requiring regeneration is gathered in the disengaging zone of the stacked three-bed reactor 2) Catalyst flow is stopped by a special segmented ball valve located immediately below the disengaging zone and upstream of the two Neles lock hopper block valves. The two valves above the lock hopper are fully open before catalyst is allowed to flow through them. 3) The segmented valve is then opened allowing catalyst to flow into the lock hopper. 4) When the lock hopper is full the segmented valve is closed. After the flow of catalyst is completely stopped, the two Neles valves are closed, isolating the lock hopper. 5) The lock hopper is then inerted with nitrogen. Following this, the two lock hopper block valves located below the lock hopper are opened allowing the inerted catalyst to flow, by gravity, into a lift engager for transport to the next part of the process Application Bulletin 2721_06_01 Catalyst Presentation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 33

Editor's Notes

  • #18 In the process of redesigning the products, we also took the opportunity to improve ourselves against the competition. The competition had caught-up to us. The number one cause of customer complaints was leaking stem seals. We came-up with a new design that has multiple sealing zones, and applied for a patent. It came as a surprise to us how well our platform series works. The operational life blows-away anything else available in the market, and it costs us less to manufacture them.
  • #20 No notes required.
  • #59 The top coking facilities are continually optimizing operations to increase flexibility for processing a variety of feedstocks, while maximizing higher-valued liquid and gas products. Equally critical in daily operations is the emphasis on maintaining a safe and reliable processing unit. The heater is designed to raise residual stock temperatures above coking point without significant coke formation in the heaters. This required high velocities in the heaters. The coking happens in the surge drums. The most common feedstock is vacuum resid. Other feed streams can also be used, like visbroke tar, atmospheric residue, slurry oil, hydrotreated resid, tar sand, SDA or ROSE unit pitches. Feedstock composition has significant impact on the quality of coke produced. All the heavy metals are incorporated as contaminants in the coke. The quality of petroleum coke is classified into three categories: fuel grade, anode, and premium coke (needle coke).
  • #62 The entire coking process is typically grouped into three general sections – furnace and fractionation, coke drum and coke handling, and the closed blowdown areas. The exact configuration will vary depending on refinery’s specific design strategy and existing processing capabilities.
