4.1.4 Valve series
Two series of valves are specified: series A for flanged and threaded end valves and series B for flanged,
threaded, capillary, compression and loose nut/union end valves.
Series A valves have the shell components constructed from the restricted range of copper-aluminium and
copper-tin alloys (see Table A.1) specified in EN 1092-3 and EN 1759-3, and are suitable for the
pressure/temperature ratings given in these two flange standards. Additional copper-aluminium and copper-tin
alloys are specified in Table A.1 for series A valves and the pressure/temperature ratings for valves in these
materials are the same as given in EN 1092-3 and EN 1759-3.
Series B valves have the shell components constructed from copper-zinc-lead or complex copper-zinc alloys (see
Table A.2) and have lower allowable pressures at elevated temperatures than series A valves.

4.2.1 Construction
4.2.1.1 General
Valves shall be properly designed incorporating appropriate safety margins and taking all relevant operating factors
into account in order to ensure that they will be safe throughout their intended life. The construction details shall be
the responsibility of the manufacturer.
4.2.1.2 Patterns
Valves shall be full bore or reduced bore (see Figure 1).

4.2.1.4 Shaft
a) The angular movement of the valve ball when operated from the fully closed position to the position, at which
leakage past the seats occurs, shall be not less than 5° in either direction.
The manufacturer shall carry out a type test on a production valve to demonstrate that each size of valve will
meet this requirement. The type test requirement is given in Annex C.
b) The valve design shall be provided either:
 without anti-blow out shaft ; or
 with anti-blow out shaft.
For valves with anti-blow out shaft, the valve design shall be such that the shaft shall be retained in the body,
so it cannot be blown out of the body, while under pressure, when the means of actuation or replaceable shaft
seals are removed.
NOTE Valves are supplied with anti-blow out shaft, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
c) The shaft end shall be so designed as to clearly indicate the position of the ball port, for example double flats
or notched end.
4.2.1.5 Operating mechanism sealing
The design of the operating mechanism sealing shall be one of the following:
a) packing chamber and gland;
b) injector packing form;
c) toroidal sealing rings (0 rings).
The seal of the shaft shall remain tight to atmosphere when the operating element is removed.
4.2.1.6 Stops
Stops shall be provided for both the fully open and fully closed positions of the valve.
4.2.2 Materials
The valve materials shall be in accordance with Annex A.
4.2.3 Pressure/temperature ratings
The pressure/temperature ratings for each type of valve shall be in accordance with Annex B.
