77 VALVES AND ACCESSORIES Introduction to MESC Group 77. 1.
INTRODUCTION Valves specified in group 77 cover most types and sizes required for the group's field, refinery, chemical plant and utility piping systems, coherent with 'tubulars' and 'fittings' specified in MESC groups 74 and 76 respectively. Valves for special applications are coded in their relevant groups, e.g.: - group 09, wellhead valves - group 44, valves for LPG cylinders - group 60, solenoid valves and control valves for process instrumentation - group 61, vacuum and pressure relief valves for tanks - group 80, valves for sanitary requirements - group 90, valves for laboratory use In these groups the different types of valves are grouped together in alphabetical order, with the main body material and end connections at sub-group level followed by a breakdown per material type for the trim and service application at sub-sub group level. Valve additional requirements are presented in section 5. They reflect latest Shell policies and piping class requirements as well as present capabilities of valve manufacturers. Additional requirements which were used together with locally coded (dot 9) valves have been removed, i.e.: - SPE 77/132 for regular/full opening swing check valves to API 6D, - SPE 77/163 for axial disc check valves to ASME B 16.34, - SPE 77/164 for pressure balance piston shut-off valves, - SPE 77/210 for valves in sub-sea service. For detailed information refer to section five - Introduction to additional requirements.

VALVE SELECTION For guidance in selecting the appropriate valves for any particular service, reference is made to 'design and engineering practice' publications DEP 31.38.01.12-gen and DEP 31.38.01.15-gen. These valves are incorporated in the MESC database.
3.
VALVE TYPES
3.1
ANGLE VALVES The application of angle type globe valves is not recommended and they have therefore not been included as a group standard with the exception of small size needle type globe valves for instrumentation purposes.

3.2
BALL VALVES Ball valves are compact, have a positive shut-off and are easy to operate and maintain. They are available as 'soft seated' and 'metal seated' valves, both with 'reduced' and 'full' bore. A disadvantage of soft-seated ball valves is the restricted temperature rating because of the polymers and elastomer seats and seals. Metal-seated valves shall be used for temperature ranges exceeding the ranges specified for soft-seated valves.
3.3
CAST-IRON AND DUCTILE IRON VALVES For safety reasons cast-iron valves shall not be used. A limited range of lined butterfly, diaphragm, ball and check valves with body materials made of ductile iron ion are included in MESC.
3.4
CHECK VALVES Check valves DN40 and smaller shall be of the ball type or piston type. Check valves DN50 and larger shall be of the swing type or dual-plate type.
3.5
GATE VALVES AND GLOBE VALVES Gate and globe (needle type) valves in the sizes DN40 and smaller are specified in EN ISO 15761. Globe (plug/ball type) valves are not available in sizes larger than DN 300.
3.6
HIGH PERFORMANCE BUTTERFLY VALVES High performance butterfly valves (HPBV) are included as an alternative to gate and ball valves, since lug and single flange HPBV offer space and weight savings. They are available as 'soft seated’, ‘metal/soft' and 'metal seated'. The recommended body styles are double flanged, lug and single flange.
3.7
PLUG VALVES The selection and use of plug valves (i.e. pressure balanced and sleeve types) and double plug isolation valves shall follow the requirements of the DEP manuals.
3.8
PRESSURE SEAL VALVES Gate, globe and check valves with a pressure seal type bonnet/cover connection offers in-line maintainability as well as reduced weight (compared with flanged body/bonnet connections). Pressure seal type valves shall be used for steam services in the ASME pressure ratings 900 to 2500.
3.9
SLIM LINE GATE AND GLOBE VALVES Gate and globe valves with a slim line body are single flanged and available in the size range DN50 and smaller with a minimum pressure rating of ASME class 300. In the higher-pressure ratings they offer space and weight savings as compared to the traditional valves. However, these valves are not yet available in MESC.

VALVE DETAILS
4.1
BY-ES A by-, when necessary, shall be fitted locally. If valves shall be supplied complete with by- this shall be clearly specified in the requisition and/or purchase order.
4.2
FLANGES Valves shall be supplied with drilled flanges as specified in the MESC buying descriptions.

FINISH OF FLANGE FACINGS Flanged valves shall be executed with a smooth flange surface finish (Ra 3.2-6.3 µm), unless otherwise specified in the MESC buying description.
4.4
OUTSIDE AND INSIDE SCREW STEM TYPE VALVES Valves with outside screw stem (gate and globe) are the preferred standard for the group.
4.5
SPARE PARTS FOR VALVES Spare parts for both valves and valve actuators shall be coded locally in sub groups 77.90 to 77.99. Valve actuators shall be coded in sub group 77.88.
4.6
FIRE-TESTED OR FIRE-SAFE DESIGNS Normally fire safe or fire-tested valves shall be used. When valves have limitations, this shall be clearly addressed and these valves shall not be used in locations that may be exposed to a fire hazard.
5.
INTRODUCTION TO ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1
The additional requirements (SPE’s) reflect the latest Shell policy and piping-class requirements as well as the present capabilities of manufacturers. For valves the following categories of additional requirements (SPE’s) are available: A
Additional requirements to the 'individual' valve design codes, e.g. BS, API, ASME.
B
Requirements unique to a specific service.
C Requirements that cover testing, painting and coating. D Requirements for sealing materials (gaskets, packing, O-rings).

Whenever deviated from centrally coded standard buying descriptions and/or additional requirements, the unique (dot 1) MESC number(s) shall not be used anymore and the Principal shall create locally coded (dot 9) MESC number(s) instead. However, as a good policy, adherence to the available standard description is essential to obtain the full benefits of standardisation and procurement co-ordination.
