Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 28921-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 153, Valves, Subcommittee SC 1, Design,
manufacture, marking and testing.
ISO 28921 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial valves — Isolating valves for
low-temperature applications:
— Part 1: Design, manufacturing and production testing
— Part 2: Type testing

4.1.3 Internal non-metallic materials
Valve parts, e.g. packing, gasket, seatings and other non-metallic valve parts exposed to low temperature,
shall be capable of functioning at the entire design temperature range.
4.2 Design
4.2.1 General
Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, valves shall have a bonnet extension that protects
the stem packing and valve operating mechanism from the low-temperature fluid that could otherwise
damage or impair the function of these items.
This part of ISO 28921 shall be applied in conjunction with the specific requirements of a valve product
standard, such as ISO 10434, ISO 10631, ISO 14313, ISO 15761 and ISO 17292 or other recognized
standards, such as API, ASME or EN, based on an agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
4.2.2 Body/bonnet wall thickness
The minimum valve body and bonnet wall thickness shall meet the requirements of ASME B16-34 or
EN 12516-1 for Class-designated valves and EN 12516-1, EN 12516-2 or EN 12516-3 for PN designated valves.
The pressure rating of the valve at or below service temperatures –50 °C shall not exceed the pressure
rating at room temperature for the applicable valve body material and appropriate Class or PN designation.
4.2.3 Body and bonnet extension
4.2.3.1 The length of the extension shall be sufficient to maintain the stem packing at a temperature
high enough to permit operation within the temperature range of the packing material.
4.2.3.2 The minimum vapour column length or bonnet extension shall be in accordance with Table 1 or
Table 2 and Figure 1, unless otherwise specified in the purchase order.

the body, then the extension thickness shall be increased proportionally to meet the pressure/temperature

rating of the body at all applicable temperatures. The minimum wall thickness shall be in accordance with
ASME B16-34 for Class-designated valves or EN 12516 for PN designated valves.
4.2.3.4 Bonnet extension tube thickness shall take into account pressure stresses as well as operating
torque, stem thrust and bending stresses induced by operating devices, such as handles, gears or actuators.
4.2.3.5 Stem to extended bonnet clearance should be minimized to reduce convective heat loss except
there shall be sufficient clearance to avoid interference during operation.
4.2.3.6 Valves specified to be in gas service shall be capable of operation with the extended bonnet in
any position, unless otherwise limited by the manufacturer.
4.2.3.7 Valves specified to be in liquid service, other than cold box applications, shall be capable of
operation with the extended bonnet at or above 45° above the horizontal position (see Figure 2).

4.2.3.8 Valves specified to be in cold box applications, equipped with extended bonnet, for applications
with liquids, shall be capable of operating with the stem oriented 15° to 90° above the horizontal plane
(see Figure 3).

4.2.3.9 A stem guide shall be applied at the lower end of the extended bonnet.
Where necessary, an additional guide may be provided to the upper end of the extension. It shall be
located below the packing and designed so as not to interfere or otherwise damage the stem or the
packing during normal valve operation.
The guide can be separate or integral with the bonnet extension.
4.2.3.10 If specified on the purchase order, the extension shall be provided with an insulation collar/drip
plate. The collar/drip plate may be welded to the bonnet extension or of the clamp-on design. The clamp-
on type shall have the bolting on the upper side to enable easy adjustment. Any gap between the bonnet
and the collar/drip plate shall be sealed to avoid condensation entering into the insulated area.
4.2.3.11 The extended bonnet may be cast, forged or fabricated. Fabricated extensions shall use full
penetration welding except for valves using pipe extension DN 50 (NPS 2) or smaller, where partial
penetration V-groove welding, fillet type welding or full-strength threaded joint with seal weld may be
used. When the bonnet extension is made to a tubular specification, the material shall be seamless. The
requirements of ASME B16-34 or EN 12516 shall be met for welds to body/bonnets parts.

4.2.4 Stem
4.2.4.1 Gate and globe valve stems shall have a diameter to length ratio that precludes buckling while
under compressive loading, required to fully seat the valve.
4.2.4.2 Backseats, when utilized, may be at the bottom or at the top of the body/bonnet extension.
Backseats at the bottom of the extension may increase the risk of pressure build-up in the body/bonnet
extension cavity if the valve is backseated and allowed to warm to ambient temperatures. In all cases, the
valve manufacturer shall provide a means of protection against cavity over-pressurization.
4.2.4.3 The stem shall be sized in such a way that it is able to transfer the required torque and thrust
to the valve and fully seat and unseat the closing element against pressure. Consideration shall be given
to any additional stresses resulting from the operational loads. During the stem calculations, the highest
valve rated temperature shall be used to establish the allowable material stress.
4.2.4.4 The stem shall be of one-piece construction and it shall be designed so that the stem seal
retaining fasteners alone do not retain the stem.
4.2.5 Seats and seating surfaces
Metallic seating surfaces in metal seated valves shall have edges equipped with a radius or chamfer as
necessary to prevent galling or other damage during operation.
4.2.6 Provision for internal pressure relief
4.2.6.1 Double seated valves shall be designed to prevent the build-up of body cavity pressure due
to thermal expansion or evaporation of trapped liquid in excess of 1,33 times the valve rated pressure.
Valves with backseat primary stem seal or stem guide at the bottom of the extension shall be designed to
relieve excessive pressure in the bonnet when warmed up to ambient temperature.
4.2.6.2 Unless otherwise specified, pressure relief shall function as follows:
— for upstream sealing valves, relief shall be to the downstream side of the closing member;
— for downstream sealing valves, relief shall be to the upstream side of the closing member.
For gate valves, pressure relief shall be achieved by the use of a relief hole, located so as to relief excess
cavity pressure to the upstream side of the valve when the valve is closed.
Where valve size permits, the pressure relieving hole shall be a minimum of 3 mm in diameter and
visible through the valve end-connection when the valve is closed. Where valve size does not permit a
3 mm hole, a smaller hole dia
