New Product: New SideWinder Anti-Cavitation Trim for Low Flow Applications

Cavitation is common in many liquid control valve applications. In particular, high pressure drop, small flow applications within the Oil & Gas, Chemical, Power and Aerospace industries experience destructive cavitation. Cavitation control is highly valued by customers and is an important factor that influences procurement decisions for control valve equipment. The SideWinder severe cavitation elimination technology simultaneously uses all six proven anti-cavitation pressure drop mechanisms including; small passages, turns, mutual impingement, sudden expansion and contraction to absorb and control pressure drop energy, neutralizing the root cause of cavitation. The new trim is fully integrated in the latest release of Performance!Nxt, allowing users to size and select a configuration that ensures effective cavitation elimination in high pressure, low flow applications. A new cavitation prediction logic developed specifically for the SideWinder trim allows fast and accurate sizing and selection of the SideWinder trim for Mark One Series Globe and Angle body styles. Performance!Nxt is programed to automatically select the most suitable SideWinder trim solution for a given application. It works with application data and calculation method as entered by the user and automatically generates the best configuration for the application. This not only allows users to provide technically competitive solutions but also offers greater reliability and performance to customers.

New Product: Inclusion of LPC pneumatic compact scotch yoke (for TMCBV, TX3, Valdisk and for External Sizing) With the scope to continue growing Control Valves and Automation businesses, a new P!Nxt development has been recently completed, complementing past release 12.7151 dated October 2016 and 12.7160 dated December 2016.

In 12.7170 Release LPC Actuators automatic selection is enabled for TMCBV, TX3 and Valdisk and for all other ON/OFF Flowserve Valves (or Third Party valves) using a Template Excel file for importing into P!NXT the valve torques. With this new release 12.7170 it will be possible to automatic select LPC compact pneumatic scotch-yoke actuators in addition to the previously added LPS actuators. Until now, only LPS actuators could be selected in P!NXT from Limitorque Fluid Power Range. With this new release, LPC Pneumatic Compact Scotch Yoke actuators will be now automatically sized in P!Nxt, offering a more compact solution for small valve sizes. The User will be allowed to automatically select the proper LPC actuator model, considering the actual valve process and shutdown conditions and proper actuator sizing parameter (e.g. Safety Factors, Supply Pressure, ...). P!Nxt users are still allowed to manually select different actuator models, using the Actuator Size and Spring Size Override option available inside the User Interface (UI) screen. LPC accessories and additional options can be also selected inside the Specification Screen.


Pricing is currently set to CF; it should be enabled shortly by means of a P!Nxt Database update, along with an additional note to the distribution list. Stroking Time calculation is currently not available for LPC actuators and it will be part of future developments. User Instructions and Sizing Procedure for LPC actuators Detailed Users Instructions have been created as separate document and are here embedded inside the following pdf file:

Automatic Selection of LPC actuators in P!Nxt for

TMCBV, TX3 and VALDISK Valves

Procedure and steps to Size LPC Actuators on TMCBV, TX3 and VALDISK valves 1. Select a TMCBV, TX3 or VALDISK valve and go Performance! Sizing screen.

Specify the fluid and the process conditions.

2. Next, go to the Actuator User Interface Area and select LPC among all other available actuators; then some Input Data for Actuator Sizing need to be provided:


2

a. Service: Modulating/On-Off

b. Supply pressure: Minimum and Maximum values available on-site to feed

the actuator

Note 1: Minimum pressure corresponds with the Sizing Pressure; it also normally corresponds to the Reducer Pressure Set, whenever a Pressure Reducer is installed on actuator control panel

Note 2: Those values are normally provided inside the Project Instrument Datasheet and Specifications or provided by Customer

c. Ambient Temperature: Minimum and Maximum values of Ambient

Temperature foreseen on-site where the valve/actuator assembly will be installed

Note 3: This temperature range is different from the process condition temperature range

Note 4: Those values are normally provided inside the Project Instrument Datasheet and Specifications or provided by Customers

d. Safety Factors (SF): by clicking on SF button, a new screen will open allowing inserting Safety Factors values for both Process Condition and Valve Shutoff Condition (if different).


3

Safety Factors can be also identical for every valve position or different for each of the 6 main valve positions; they are defined as per following definitions:

=BTOactuator

BTOvalve 1 =

RTOactuator

RTOvalve 1 =

ETOactuator

ETOvalve 1

=BTCactuator

BTCvalve 1 =

RTCactuator

RTCvalve 1 =

ETCactuator

ETCvalve 1

=MAX Act Torque

MAST_valve 1

Where the following terminology is adopted:

BTO = Break to Open torque BTC = Break to Close torque

RTO = Running to Open torque RTC = Running to Close torque

ETO = End to Open torque ETC = End to Close torque

MAST = Maximum Allowable Stem Torque

Note 5: SF on BTO, RTO, ETO, BTC, RTC, ETC is a value greater than 1: for example SF_BTO = 1.2 means that BTO_actuator is 20% higher than BTO_valve

Note 6: SF_MAST is a value between 0 and 1: for example SF_MAST = 0.9 means that Maximum Actuator Torque will be limited to 90% of valve MAST

e. Yoke: User has the possibility to select only Symmetrical Option for LPC

Yoke type: i. Symmetrical Scotch Yoke only

ii. Canted (not available for LPC) iii. Optimized Yoke (not available for LPC)

f. Act Config: one of the following option has to be selected: i. Spring Return SA (single acting) ii. Double Acting


4

g. Fail Action: one of the following action has to be selected:

for Spring Return-SA:

i. FC-FCW (Fail Close Fail Clockwise)

ii. FO-FCCW (Fail Open Fail Counterclockwise)

iii. FL (Fail Lock by means of Lock up valve in control system)

for Double Acting:

i. Fail As Is

ii. FC-FCW (Fail Close Fail Clockwise by means of Air Tank)

iii. FO-FCCW (Fail Open Fail Counterclockwise by means of Air Tank)

Note 9: Please note that any Lock-up valve or Air Tank (complete w/ relevant isolation valves, gauges, relief, tubing and fittings,) will have to be manually added in the Specification Sheet.

h. Air To: option indicates if the air open or close the valve. This information is

strictly related to Fail Action: for example a Spring Return Single Acting actuator in FC-FCW Fail Close configuration will have the Air To Open option only available and selected by default.

i. Shutoff DP: give to the user the possibility to specify the pressure Shutoff

value across the valve for actuator sizing: it can be imposed equal to P1 which is the Upstream Pressure to the valve or can be manually input by the User

j. Actuator Size: this field shows the Actuator and Cylinder size of the automatically selected LPC model

k. Spring Size: this field shows the Spring Size of the automatically selected

LPC model

l. Actuator Model: this field shows the entire model nomenclature of the automatically selected LPC model


5

m. Override Options of Actuator Size and Spring Size: this options are represented by padlock symbols:

If unlocked then the Override is disabled and the auto-size is enabled. If locked, then the Override is enabled and auto-size is disabled,

overridden by the specified actuator size and spring size manually selected by the User among those available in the dropdown menu.

When an Actuator Size is overridden with a selection that does not satisfy all the sizing parameters, then it is shown in red color with a red cross beside. User is invited not to proceed with that specific selection or to carefully check the Actuator Screen to verify the reason, before any decision to proceed.

3. After selecting the desired options and input the required Safety Factors and Ambient Temperatures, then click on Calculate button

4. Open the Actuator Screen to verify the automatic selection and to visualize the selected LPC actuator performances:


6

The Valve required Torques inclusive of the safety factors are shown on top part of the Actuator screen: if different process conditions are inserted in addition to the Max DP at Shutoff, then the actuator will be selected based on Max Driving Force which considers the highest torques requested by the valve in various different positions.

Actuator selected model will be displayed in the first column of Actuator Comparison/Selection area, with relevant Output Torques. Other alternative models are also provided in the subsequent columns, but they would probably meet the torque requirements as highlighted in red color. Acting on the left side of the screen, the User would be able to modify some sizing parameters, before freezing the selection.

5. Check VIOLATIONS / WARNINGS messages:

a. TX3 and VALDISK butterfly valve MAST calculation Warning:

b. Valve MAST violation:

c. Valve MAST violation 2:

d. Actuator MOP violation:


8

e. Actuator MAWP violation:

6. Once LPC model is automatically sized, then select the Specification button from

Performance! Sizing screen and go to Actuator tab. In this tab, User can specify attributes/values other than the model code attributes/values. In the specification dialog, you can select values for different attributes such as Manual Override, Coating/Color, Air Volume Tank, Fittings, Actuator Mounting and so on.


9

7. When the actuator sizing and selection is done, you can print the spec sheet by

using the Print option. The actuator selections made will be populated in the actuator section of the spec sheet.

Basics of Scotch Yoke actuators sizing Due to the scotch-yoke mechanism, LFPS quarter-turn actuators (LPS, LPC and LHS models) have a particular U-shaped output torque curve whether powered by a fixed supply pressure or the spring. For a proper actuator model selection, the safety factors between actuator output torque and valve torque requirement shall be calculated at least in six points along the valve stroke. In addition a final check is necessary to guarantee that actuator Maximum Output Torque does not exceed valve Maximum Allowable Stem Torque (MAST).
