and quality requirements.In the interest of standardization, B16.34 andits companion standard for flanges,ANSI/ASME B16.5, have established eightpressure classes and many material groupsfor process system valves and flanges,respectively. To facilitate product standard-ization, B16.34 also includes standard minimum wall thickness dimensions for eachpressure class.B16.34 and B16.5 list the pressure-temperature ratings for each class and material group. Process systems usually aredesigned to fit within one of those classesand material groups.Materials. Pressure-containing parts are manufactured from materials listed in B16.34,the B31 codes, or ASME Boiler and PressureVessel (BPV) Code Section VIII. Materialsare purchased in accordance with ASTM specifications.Design. The design requirements of B16.34,including minimum wall thicknesses, areused for 75 series process ball valves.Tests. Designs and ratings are qualified bystrength and performance tests.

Instrument Valve StandardThe primary standard for instrument valves isMSS SP-99, developed by manufacturers tomeet the special needs of these products,which are not covered in B16.34. It addresses material selection, design, ratings, testing, and end connections.Unlike B16.34, SP-99 does not include standard pressure classes, minimum wallthicknesses, or other dimensional require-ments. Swagelok valves follow this standardwhere it is applicable.To aid the user in selecting valves for use withsystems designed to a pressure class, wehave designed some valves with ratings thatfit one of the B16.34 classes or anintermediate class. For those products, the

class is listed in the rating table. Intermediateclasses are determined by linear interpolation

ScopeThis technical bulletin describes the designbasis and standards that apply to Swagelok®

valves and lists pressure-temperature ratingsfor Swagelok valves, filters, flow sensors, and sample cylinders.

Design BasisProcess industry piping systems aredesigned in accordance with one of theASME Codes for Pressure Piping, B31,which define design and construction requirements for several kinds of piping systems. B31.1, Power Piping, and B31.3,Chemical and Petroleum Refinery Piping,relate to systems that use Swagelok products. (See “Standardization andNational Codes,” page 8, for more about B31and other standards.)The B31 codes incorporate by reference various standards for valves and other components, many of which include presure-temperature ratings. Such components maybe used within those ratings, but not inexcess of the general limits of the code.Components for which the standards do nothave ratings or for which there are no listedstandards may be used within the manufacturer’s recommended pressure-temperature ratings. Ratings for such specially designed components shall be determined by accepted engineering prac-tices consistent with the design criteria of thecode. Pressure-temperature ratings forSwagelok products are established on thatbasis.

Process Valve StandardThe Swagelok 75 series process ball valve conforms to ANSI/ASME B16.34.Incorporated by reference in the B31 codes,B16.34 covers process valves with pipeflange, butt weld, socket weld, and pipethread ends. It defines design requirements,acceptable materials, pressure-temperaturerating classes, dimensions, wall thicknesses,

others. Several different sizes of fitting—each with its own pressure rating—often canbe provided on one size and design of valve.The pressure ratings given in the valve ratingtables are the highest the valve design cancarry. If the rating of a specific end connection is lower, that lower ratingbecomes the pressure rating of the valve.Pneumatic Actuators. The tables list thepressure ratings of manual valves, many ofwhich can be equipped with pneumatic actuators. Typically, there are several choicesof actuator size and type—double acting,spring return, normally closed, or normallyopen. Some actuators can actuate the valveat the full rating listed for the manual valve;others cannot.Individual product catalogs provide detailedinformation on available actuator choices, required actuator pressures, and valve pressure ratings that result from various valveand actuator combinations.Performance Tests. Valve performance isnot addressed by industry standardsbecause performance requirements varywidely among industries and must be considered separately for each application.The ratings in the tables include the effects ofpressure and temperature—steady and fluctuating—on performance characteristics.If product performance is degraded by sucheffects, this is reflected in the ratings.

Valve SelectionComponent RatingsThe tables that follow contain pressure-temperature ratings for Swagelok products.Table listings begin with the cold workingpressure (CWP) rating for the valve, whichapplies over ambient temperature ranges,usually –20 to 100°F (–28 to 37°C). Theycontinue with pressure ratings at temperatureincrements of 50 or 100 degrees and stop atthe maximum temperature rating. Ratings atintermediate temperatures can be calculatedby linear interpolation.

Note: The ratings in the tables apply to thestandard materials and constructions of thelisted products. Any change to the materials,lubricants, construction, or accessories maychange the ratings.

from standard classes.Materials. Materials for pressure-containingparts are selected from those listed in SP-99,B16.34, the B31 codes, or BPV Code SectionVIII. Materials are purchased in accordancewith ASTM specifications.Design. Cold working pressure (CWP) ratings, wall thicknesses of pressure-containing parts, and dimensions of otherstressed elements are developed using thepractices of SP-99 and appropriate engineering methods. Allowable stressesgiven in the B31 piping codes and BPV CodeSection II are used, and design criteria areconsistent with these codes.Tests. Designs and ratings are qualified bystrength and performance tests.

Other RatingsSome Swagelok valves do not follow any ofthe standard B16.34 rating tables because ofother considerations, such as the propertiesof metallic or nonmetallic components, design or performance requirements, or combination of these (Fig. 1).Metals Properties. Valve body or flangematerial ratings given in B16.34 and B16.5are derived from reductions in materialstrength and allowable stress at elevatedtemperature. The effects of elevated temperature on other pressure-containingmetal parts—such as gaskets, stems, diaphragms, or bellows—may dictate lowerratings.Nonmetals Properties . Nonmetals areused widely in valves as seals, such as O-rings, plastic packings, gaskets, stem tipinserts, and seat inserts. The effects of elevated temperature on nonmetal parts maydictate lower pressure-temperature ratings.The ratings listed in the tables and the product catalogs are based on tests of theseal design used in each product. The testsare conducted under controlled laboratoryconditions with an inert liquid or gas. Theydo not take into account the effects of thesystem fluid, which may degrade the materialand further limit its usable temperature range.End Connections. Most valve products areavailable with many different types and sizesof end connections, such as Swagelok tubefittings, VCO

System RequirementsThe B31 piping codes require that component pressure-temperature ratings beequal to or greater than system design pressure and temperature to ensure systemintegrity and safety. However, systems mayoperate much of the time at less severe conditions of pressure and temperature, wellbelow design conditions (Fig. 2).Pressure and temperature requirements forboth system design conditions and normaloperating conditions should be considered inselecting the most suitable component.

Other EffectsIn addition to component ratings and systemrequirements, effects outside the systemshould also be considered when selecting acomponent.Low Temperature. Applications for servicebelow the CWP temperature range requirespecial consideration. Generally, materialstrengths do not increase with lower temperatures, nor do pressure ratings.Some materials lose impact strength andshould not be used at low temperatures.Many nonmetals become hard and lose theirability to seal. Most lubricants harden, whichcan make a valve inoperable. Humidity in theair can form ice in and around a cold valve,making it inoperable, and may even damageit.Environment. When selecting a valve, thesystem designer and user must also considerthe effect of the environment on valve function, materials compatibility, ratings,installation, operation, and maintenance.Following are examples of such considerations:

Valve ratings, both here and in industrialstandards, assume the temperature to bethat of the valve body, heated by the systemfluid. Temperature from an external sourcemay have a different effect, such as overheating external parts that normally arenot as hot as the system.

Pneumatic actuators, handles, solenoids, and other accessories often havelower temperature ratings than the valvesthey operate, again because the heat sourceis assumed to be the system fluid. If a system is located in a heated or cooledchamber, the rating is determined by the

temperature limits of the valve and all accessories.

A corrosive environment may damage external parts not exposed to the systemfluid, reducing the valve’s pressure-containing capability. Airborne solvents maydamage seals and cause leaks or removelubricants from external parts and make thevalve inoperable.

Outdoor environments can affect a valveeven within its temperature rating. For example, water may enter a valve or actuatorand prevent operation, particularly if itfreezes. Dirt, mildew from humidity, mudfrom insects, and the like can plug valve oractuator openings, also preventing operation.Outdoor exposure to ozone or ultraviolet lightcan degrade both plastics and elastomers.

TerminologyThe terminology used here is taken from B31,SP-99, B16.34, B16.5, and related standards. These terms are used commonlyin the process industries. Note: These termscan be defined in many ways and may havequite different meanings in other industries.

Material Strength, Stress,and Safety FactorsThese terms are closely related and shouldbe used with care. Material strengths aredefined by tensile and yield strengths, whichare determined by a destructive test on asample of the material. ASTM material specifications establish minimum values oftensile and yield strengths, which are thebasis for the allowable stresses given in BPVCode Section II and used in product design(Fig. 3, next page). Material strength andstress are expressed as force per unit area,given in units of pounds per square inch (psi),newtons per square millimeter (N/mm2), ormegapascals (MPa).Tensile Strength . The stress required tobreak a material when a test specimen ispulled in tension. Also called ultimatestrength.Yield Strength. The stress at which the testspecimen has elongated and will no longerreturn to its original length. At this point, thematerial has undergone permanent deformation, or yielded. Yield strength is lower than tensile strength.

When selectinga valve, requirements ofthe system andeffects outsidethe systemshould all beconsidered.

Fig. 3. The A NSI B31.1 piping code specifies an allowable stress of one fourth the minimum tensile strength or two thirds the minimum yield strength, whichever is less.

Minimum tensilestrength

Depending onthe industry andthe code, safetyfactor is defined

in many differentways.

Allowable Stress. The value of stress usedin calculations to determine the dimensionsand pressure ratings of piping systems,valves, and other components. The value ofallowable stress is always less than the minimum yield and tensile strengths of thematerial and normally is specified in a code.Safety Factor. The ratio between the allowable stress and the minimum tensile oryield strength of the material. The allowablestresses given in BPV Section II and the B31piping codes include safety factors. In B31.1,the safety factor is based on one fourth of theminimum tensile strength or two thirds of theminimum yield strength, whichever is less; inB31.3, it is based on one third of the minimumtensile strength or two thirds of the minimumyield strength, whichever is less. As a result,there are small differences in allowable stressbetween these design codes. Note: De-pending on the industry and the code, this

term is defined in many different ways andshould be used with care.

TestingThe terms shell test, proof test, and hydrostatic test often are used synonymously. Each refers to a test to checkfor leaks and verify that there are no structural weaknesses in the valve or system.The component shell test and the systemhydrostatic test are done at 1.5 times theCWP or the system design pressure, respectively—which raises the stress level toa value close to the minimum yield strength ofthe material. Therefore, these tests wouldshow significant distortion if any pressure-containing parts were overstressed.Shell Test (Proof Test). A test of valves, defined by B16.34, whose purpose is tocheck for distortion and external leakage, butnot seat leakage. B16.34 requires valves tobe tested with water or other suitable fluid at1.5 times the 100°F valve rating for 15 seconds or longer. The valve is partiallyopen. This test is done by the valve manufacturer when required by the order. Itis not normally required for instrument valves.A similar test is defined by API 598. The shelltest defined by B16.34 or API 598 is availablefor most Swagelok valves on special order. Bellows- and diaphragm-sealed valves aretested at the valve rating, not at 1.5 times therating. This modified shell test also is avail-able on special order.Hydrostatic Test. A pressure test of a finished system, required by piping codessuch as ANSI B31.1. It is done at 1.5 timesthe system design pressure, with water, for atleast 10 minutes, and its purpose also is tocheck for distortion or leakage. Systemvalves are partially open during the test.Other codes may require a hydrostatic test atsome pressure other than 1.5 times the system design pressure. Valves should notbe tested above 1.5 times the valve pressurerating.

Note 1: B31.1 permits leakage at valvepackings during the hydrostatic test ofa system. If the valve packing is tight-ened to prevent leakage during any testabove normal operating pressure, itshould be readjusted afterwards.Proper readjustment for normal service

conditions will prevent excessive packing wear.

Note 2: Bellows and diaphragm valvesshould not be tested at pressuresabove their maximum allowable work-ing pressure. A bellows or diaphragm is athin, flexible member, easily damagedby overpressure or other abnormalstresses.

Burst Pressure. The pressure at which thevalve may rupture or fail by gross leakage. Aburst test is a destructive test, usually used toverify the pressure rating of instrumentvalves.

Valve RatingsCold Working Pressure (CWP) Rating. Themaximum allowable working pressure of avalve in ambient conditions, usually from –20to 100°F (–28 to 37°C).Pressure Rating. The maximum allowableworking pressure of the valve at the temperature given in the table.Rating Temperature. The temperature ofthe pressure-containing shell of the valve. Itis assumed to be the same as the systemfluid temperature.Temperature Ratings. The maximum andminimum temperatures at which the valvecan be used.

System RatingsDesign Pressure. The maximum sustainedoperating pressure (MSOP) within the pipingsystem including the effects of static pressure.Design Temperature. The metal temper-ature at the maximum sustained conditionsexpected. It is assumed to be the same asthe fluid temperature, unless shown to be different.Overpressure or Overtemperature.Pressures or temperatures higher than design conditions. Codes usually allow systems and components to operate at higher pressures or temperatures for shortperiods, such as during relief valve operation.This is usually restricted to 10 to 20 % over-pressure for 1 to 10 % of a 24-hour period.See the system code for specific limits.

Normal Operating Pressure and Temperature . Conditions under which asystem operates most of the time. Somesystems normally operate at close to designpressure and temperature, whereas othersnormally operate at much lower pressures ortemperatures.

ConclusionsNumerous codes, standards, and specifications have been written to guide thedesign and construction of piping systemsand components.Swagelok valves are designed and manufactured to provide safe, effective, dependable operation within their rated pressure and temperature ranges. Thesepressure-temperature ratings are based ondesign requirements of nationally acceptedcodes and adjusted by material characteristics, design factors, and performance requirements.Valve ratings—whether from standard ratingclasses or other ratings—are confirmed byengineering analyses and tests conductedunder controlled laboratory conditions.Neither analyses nor tests can simulate anyspecific application or duplicate the endlessvariety of actual operating conditions.Therefore, ratings should be considered minimum and maximum limits that may haveto be reduced in specific applications—asguides to select candidate products for an application.

Safe Valve SelectionStandards also serve to promote safety byaiding the system designer in selectingcomponents. When selecting a valve, totalsystem design must be considered to ensuresafe, trouble-free performance. Valve function, materials compatibility, adequateratings, and proper installation, operation,and maintenance are the responsibilities ofthe system designer and user.

Valve ratings areminimum andmaximum limitsthat may need tobe reduced foractual applications.

Standards Organizations

Standardization andNational CodesNational standards are a cornerstone ofindustry in modern industrialized nations, andinternational standards are increasinglyimportant in today’s global economy.Standards serve both users and manufacturers: in piping systems, for example, standards ensure that valves, fittings, pumps, vessels, instruments, andother components from many different manufacturers and countries fit together andfunction properly.

Standardsdefine goods

that many canuse, reducing

the need forcustomized

products.

Standards also enable manufacturers to produce goods that many customers canuse, greatly reducing the need for customized products. This requires a common design basis and, in some instances, standardized dimensions. Aclearly rationalized design basis, well definedterminology, and standard ratings and dimensions assist the user in proper component selection.

B31.1 andB31.3 are thetwo ANSI/ASMEcodes that aremost relevant toSwagelok products.

ASME has developed two codes for pressurevessels and piping systems that havebecome the standard of the industrialprocess industries: the Boiler and PressureVessel Code and the Code for PressurePiping. Their primary role has been to fostersafety in the design and construction of pressurized systems, but they also promotestandardization in design, materials, equipment, and construction.ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure VesselCode (BPV) consists of 11 sections including:

Power Boilers (Section I) Material Specifications (Section II) Nuclear Power Plant Components

(Section III) Pressure Vessels (Section VIII) Welding and Brazing Qualifications

(Section IX)

Although this code does not apply to valves,it is used so widely that it often is employedas a design guide. The material specifications in Section II are similar toASTM specifications; many are identical.The welding qualifications of Section IX oftenare used for welds on valves.ANSI/ASME B31, Code for Pressure Piping, is divided into several sections covering specific piping systems. The twothat are most relevant to Swagelok productsare:

B31.1, Power Piping B31.3, Chemical Plant and

Petroleum Refinery Piping

These codes define the design requirements,acceptable materials, allowable stresses,component standards, dimensional standards, test requirements, construction,and related topics for systems and components.ANSI/ASME B16.5, Pipe Flanges andFlanged Fittings, is a component standardthat defines materials, dimensions, and pressure-temperature ratings for standardflanges used in piping systems. It does notinclude valves. It is incorporated by reference in B31.

ANSI/ASME B16.34, Valves—Flanged,Threaded, and Welding Ends, covers process valves with pipe flange, butt weld,socket weld, and pipe thread ends. It is acomponent standard that defines pressure-temperature ratings, materials, designrequirements, and wall thicknesses for process valves; it does not apply to instrument valves. It is incorporated by reference in B31.Both B16.34 and B16.5 have establishedstandard pressure classes, material groups,and pressure-temperature ratings based onthem. The rating tables in the two standardsare identical.ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, Pipe Threads , definesthe dimensions for standard NPT pipethreads.ANSI B16.11, Steel Fittings, Socket Weldand Threaded , defines the standard dimensions for pipe fittings.ANSI/ASME B16.25, Buttwelding Ends , defines the dimensions and tolerances forbutt weld preparations used on pipe, valveends, flanges, and other components.MSS SP-99, Instrument Valves , applies tosteel and alloy valves of 1-inch nominal pipesize and smaller and pressure ratings of 10000 psi and lower at 100°F.API 598, Valve Inspection and Testing , defines the inspection and test requirementsfor valves purchased under API valve standards; it may be applied to other valves.It is widely recognized in the petroleum andchemical industries.49CFR, Code of Federal Regulations, Title49, sets forth the specifications for pressure-containing cylinders used in transportation ofhazardous materials. These specificationscover pressure ratings, design, dimensions,materials, fabrication, marking, testing, andinspection. In addition, DOT regulations cover the application and use of cylinders,including filling limits, overpressure protection, and in-service inspection.

Metric Conversions. To obtain approximatepressure ratings in bar, multiply the psi valueby the factor 0.0689:

bar = psi ∞ 0.0689

To obtain approximate pressure ratings inkPa, multiply the psi value by the factor6.895:

kPa = psi ∞ 6.895

To obtain approximate pressure ratings inkg/cm2, multiply the psi value by the factor0.0703:

kg/cm2 = psi ∞ 0.0703

To obtain temperatures in degrees Celsius(°C), subtract 32 from the degrees Fahrenheit(°F) temperature value and divide the resultby 1.8:

°C = (°F – 32)/1.8

Proportional Relief ValvesSee “Check/Relief/Bleed/Purge Valves” subsection in your Swagelok Product Binder

Bellows ValvesSee “Packless Valves” subsection in your Swagelok Product Binder

Swagelok R series relief valves are proportional relief valves that open gradu-ally as the relieving pressure increases. Consequently, they do not have a capaci-ty rating at a given pressure rise (accumu-lation). ASME BPV Code Section VIII andother industry standards define perfor-mance characteristics for relief valves—such as set pressure, relieving capacity,testing, and certification—that are not ap-plicable to R series relief valves.

The system designer and user must deter-mine the applicable code requirementsand whether R series relief valves are acceptable for use.
