For the 2002 shut-down, engi-neers at the Huntsman Olefins Plant atWilton set a target of ZERO remakes forleak testing. With 7000 joints to be remadeby 400 technicians, that was quite a chal-lenge! KLINGER UK Ltd was the gasketsupplier, while Hedley Purvis providedbolt-tensioning services. To achieve suchan ambitious target, the two companiesjoined forces to develop a project that in-volved a joint making procedure that de-

manded full trace-ability and control-led joint tightening to a pre-defined load.Great emphasis was also placed on thehuman element of effective joint making,as well as careful briefing and validationfor each technician in order to ensure thathigh standards were maintained. A train-ing video was also produced for the in-struction and involvement of techniciansand their supervisors.

The success of the project wasdemonstrated by the first ever “leak-free”start up of the Olefins plant. To publicisethe work, papers have been presented at anumber of conferences, including thisyear’s BHr Group Conference in York. Thepaper and video relating to this conferenceare available through Dr Gavin Smith atKLINGER Limited. ■

Large petrochemical plants will always require periodic main-tenance and inspection shut-downs. During these shut-downs,a large number of gasketed joints are dismantled in order togain access to the equipment. After reassembly, the plant sys-tems are leak-tested with high pressure nitrogen to ensurethe integrity of the pressure envelope prior to the introduc-tion of hydrocarbons. If leaks from gasketed joints are dis-covered during this process, it will be necessary to de-pres-sure the systems in order to remake the joints.

Oil and Gas ExhibitionWestern AustraliaKlinger Limited, Australia

Appearing at the 2003 Oil and Gas Expo in Perth, WesternAustralia, in mid-March, KLINGER once again had a strongpresence as a leader in the fluid and gas sealing industry.

The show, which attracted some150 exhibiting companies and approxi-mately 4000 visitors, was an opportunityfor KLINGER to introduce present and po-tential customers to its new range of com-pression packing and gasket materials -products that included the Top-graph 2000/2008/2009, the Marlo 369C Fugitive Emis-sion Valve packing, and the newly deve-loped Marlo Pack-RYT sealing system. In-deed, the interest shown by a number ofpotential customers has already resulted inenquiries about a number of KLINGERproducts.

The oil and gas industries withinthe Asia Pacific region are presently goingthrough a major expansion phase and

KLINGER Limited, Australia, intends to bea major supplier of fluid and gas sealingproducts during this period. ■

‘KLINGER Presented Papers’ Version 1.0now available on CD-ROM Istag AG, Switzerland

ISTAG has recently issued the first in a series of CD-ROMsthat contains Version 1.0 of ‘KLINGER Presented Paper’ -a collection that has been presented by KLINGER techni-cal staff at conferences throughout the world during thelast 15 years.

Although some of the contribu-tions are quite old, they have lost none oftheir topicality. The collection also providesan excellent insight into how technicalknowledge about gasketing has developedover the years.

Because all the collection’s pa-pers are still current and applicable, theyare ideal for training, seminars and pres-entations. Illustrations, diagrams, graphs,tables with technical data - all may be usedfor new presentations in order to explainthe technology. The informed reader is li-able to find the compilation repetitive, butwill nevertheless be able to skip those sec-tions and concentrate on the main pointsof each contribution. The less knowledge-able reader, on the other hand, may wel-come the repetitions as an aid to trainingand memorisation. Before the end of this

year, ISTAG plans to issue an upgradedVersion 1.1 of ‘KLINGER Presented Papers’that will contain additional technical essayswhich are currently being converted intoelectronic form. For that reason, all staffmembers within the KLINGER Group arerequested to send their papers to ISTAG forinclusion either in Version 1.1 or a later,follow-up edition. Texts already in elec-tronic form would be much appreciated, butthis is not essential. Papers from outsidethe KLINGER Group would also be wel-come when related to KLINGER activitiesor containing general technical information

on a gasketing subject.ISTAG would also like to remind

the general reader that nothing is so per-fect that it cannot be improved! Any feed-back about errors or misleading passagesin any of these texts would be very wel-come, along with suggestions for improve-ments.The ‘KLINGER Presented Papers’collection is intended not only for usewithin the KLINGER Group but also forwider distribution to customers and users.The CD-ROMs can be requested fromISTAG at the following e-mail address:joerg.latte@klinger.ch. ■

A small team comprising AllanCook, Norbert Weimer and Dr Gavin Smithhas been collating data on our sealingproducts. The multi-facetted and at timesvery comprehensive information has beengathered throughout the KLINGER Groupand includes hard technical data as wellas facts and figures that will assist with themarketing of sealing products.

This data will be distributedshortly on CD - either to designated Seal-ing Product Managers or Managing Direc-tors.

The collating exercise has, of ne-cessity, been a dynamic one; no informa-tion has so far been included on Fluid Con-trol, for example, although that can followquite quickly. Many companies are ex-pected to request an upgrade of their indi-vidual Issue 1 entries. The result will beIssue 2 - which will also include the ne-cessary information on Fluid Control. ■

Klinger S.p.A., Italy

Important agreement between KLINGERSpa and ABB Sace for the supply of levelgauges

For many years, KLINGER SpA has been producing glasslevel gauges for the Italian and European markets. Pro-duction capacity has recently been increased, and it hasbeen possible to achieve important commercial resultswith Italian and foreign customers.

One of the principal agreementswas drawn up last February betweenKLINGER SpA and the Italian company ABBSace, which is part of the international ABBGroup. The agreement was preceded bylong and complex negotiations in order tomeet all the technical and commercial re-quirements and finally arrive at a solutionthat was satisfactory to both companies.

On the basis of this agreement,KLINGER SpA has supplied 200 glass levelgauges destined for eight petrochemicalplants commissioned by N.I.O.C. (NationalIranian Oil Company) to Irasco and fromthese to ABB Sace.

Because of the tough conditionsimposed by the project, the level gauges -both the reflection type and the transpar-ency type with explosion-proof illumina-

tor - were all made in stainless steel.In addition to the glass gauges,

KLINGER SpA has also supplied a seriesof ‘tank level’ indicators from a leading Ita-lian manufacturer.

All gauges were tested positivelyat the KLINGER SpA plant in Mazzo di Rhoin the presence of ABB Sace inspectors andend-customer representatives.

Testing was conducted at the endof May and, together with other materialsupplied directly by ABB Sace, these pro-ducts were packed in 16 big wooden casesfor shipping to Iran according to estab-lished deadlines.

For KLINGER SpA, the positiveexperience of this important agreementconsolidates the prospects for growth andraises expectations for continuing and ex-panding the collaboration between ABBSace and KLINGER SpA. ■

A new and improved axialflow piston valve

In 1922, company founder Rich-ard KLINGER developed the Type KVn pis-ton valve [Fig 1]. In so doing, he replacedthe combined seating and seal body of aconventional globe valve with a cylindricalpiston with radial sealing rings arrangedwithin the valve housing. In the exact sameway as a globe valve, fluid flowing throughthe valve is deflected twice in order to en-ter and exit the closing chamber. The topand bottom of this closing chamber areclosed off by sealing rings that are sup-ported and separated by a lantern ring withradial openings. The bonnet bolted to thehousing fixes the lantern and sealing rings

The new axial flow piston valve is a development basedon the tried-and-tested constructional features of the pis-ton valve already well-established on the market. It is inparticular the new valve’s functional principle - a cylin-drical piston is moved along its axis and opens/closes theflow channel by means of radial sealing rings - that willreceive attention here.

Development history

Demands on the KVA axialpiston valve

within the housing. A spindle or piston rodmounted in bearings in the bonnet controlsthe position of the piston and thus triggersthe actual closing and opening sequence.

80 years on, this valve system isstill in widespread use in water, steam andchemical plants. It is also used with heattransfer media. Continuous improvementsin the sealing system as well as optimi-sation of the manufacturing process havekept this flow-control device ‘young’.

Nevertheless, there is still a tech-nological/economic upper limit with thissystem that cannot be exceeded: namely,nominal pressure as a function of nominalsize. For the cast steel DN 15 - DN 50 ver-sion, this tops out at PN 63. With DN 65 -DN 200 sizes, the figure is PN 40.

●

Fig. 1: KVn piston valve

KFC technicians have stayed withthe basic principle - pistons and radial seal-ing rings. The closing system has beenturned through 90°. Pistons and sealingring axes are thus precisely aligned withthe fluid flow axis (effectively, the axis ofthe pipping). The pressure requirementranges from PN 100 up to and includingPN 420, while the maximum operating tem-perature has been fixed at +550°C. The KVA(KLINGER VALVE AXIAL) [Fig. 2] is en-visaged for a nominal size range betweenDN 80 and DN 800. Both DIN and ANSIranges are covered. The main applicationareas are petrochemicals, cold- and hot-water applications, and steam plants.

The advantages of this typeof construction

Low actuation torques, especially withlarge nominal sizes and pressure le-vels, due to a full pressure balanceacross the piston.Very good tightness behaviour, sincethe established piston valve has beenretained and the body is constructedas a single component.Low pressure loss.Very good control properties.Double leak-tightness in on both portdirections.Low flow noise.Good “rapid shut-off” properties.Very good Kv values.

Klinger Fluid Control GmbH, Austria

Basically, because of its operat-ing sequence, this valve type can best beplaced within the “quarter turn” valvegroup; in other words butterfly, plug andball valves. These can all be brought from

Trial and test results of aKVA prototype

the closed to the open position by a quar-ter turn of the stem. However, because ofits drive mechanism, the KVA requires ahalf turn to achieve this; in other words180°. This therefore corresponds to a “half-turn” valve, which is far less widespreadthan the “quarter turn” type.

The stem (8) mounted within thehousing transfers the rotational force ap-plied by the handle or actuator to the crank(6). The stem is sealed to the outside by astuffing box (4). The steering plate (7) thenconverts the rotational motion of the crankto a linear motion, which is tranferred bythe steering plate to the piston (2) [Fig. 3].The piston now travels from the rest posi-tion out of the fixed torpedo body (10) (anintegral part of the main housing) and startsto reduce the cross section of the flowchannel. In the final position, the piston

has completely closed off the flow chan-nel. Both the radial valve rings (3) in thepiston ensure an optimal seal of the flowchannel. In contrast to piston valves, theseare accommodated in the piston, not in thehousing.

The medium can flow through thevalve to the left or to the right [Fig. 4], withthe sealing system ensuring double leak-tightness on both port directions. The me-dium flows through both pipe cross sec-tions at the valve ends, which then reduceto become a ring slot in the body (9). Theseare confined by the main housing (1) onthe one hand, and the torpedo body (10)on the other. Bores in the piston allow themedium to pass into the torpedo body - afeature that allows a complete pressurebalance across the piston.

In the course of a pilot project, aKVA prototype was built to a nominal DN80 size and PN 100. Both valve housingand torpedo body were manufactured asfully welded components. The separate steelpiping components were mostly turnedfrom rods. Stainless steel was mainly usedfor the internal components. Well-provenKLINGER KX graphite laminate rings wereused for the seals. After completion of thevalve, it was sent to the KLINGER TestingDepartment [Fig. 5].

At the forefront of the tests wasthe empirical determination of:

the -valuethe kv-valuethe actuation torquethe tightness

Although the KVn piston valveand the KVA axial piston valve are not indirect competition, comparative data hasnevertheless been ascertained. A cast steelDN 80 PN 40 KVn valve was made avail-able for this purpose.

Fig. 6 shows a comparison ofthe flow resistances of the DN 80 axialpiston valve and a KVn 80 in the openposition at different velocities (water) inm/s at approx. 20°C. The considerablymore favourable values of the axial valveare achieved by avoiding flow deflection,as experienced with the KVn.

A comparison of the actuationtorques for the axial and KVn piston valvesshows approximately the same values [Fig.8] when both valve rings (KLINGER-KXgraphite ring) are engaged (the closed po-sition). In the open position, the KVn va-lues are slightly lower because the pistonis only in contact with one valve ring. The

Actuation torque

other is exposed to the flow. With the axialvalve, the value in the open position isslightly higher because both valve rings areretracted into the inner section and are

thus optimally shielded from the flow. This is ofparticular advantage at high flow ratessince the valve ring is subjected to less wear.

As can be seen in Fig. 9, the leakbehaviour of the piston when using theKLINGER-KX graphite rings (sliding pis-ton principle) during a 1000-cycle test runon the valve is almost even. The test wasconducted with helium under a pressureof 40 bar. The test confirms the equallypositive sealing properties of the axial andKVn valves. ■

A KLINGER do Brasil development goes onshow at Achema 2003 in GermanyRich. Klinger Ind e Com Ltda, Brazil

KLINGER do Brasil develops, manufactures and marketsits pneumatic actuators throughout Latin America for usein KLINGER piston valves equipped with both on/off orcontrol functions. In the short time that KLINGER has beenoperating in the region, the company has managed toembrace almost all sectors - the food, chemical, petro-chemical and textile industries, for example, along withequipment manufacturers and the paper and cellulose,alcohol and sugar industries, etc.

The list of customers includesmany well-known international companiessuch as Clariant, BASF, Nestlé, Bayer,Petrobas, AGFA, Westfalia, Ziemann Liess,Unilever, and Firestone. Recently, with theaim of entering markets on all five conti-nents through the different Group compa-nies, KLINGER exhibited its actuated valvesat the famous ACHEMA 2003 trade-fair inFrankfurt, where the products - includingfunctioning valves - were on show to allwho passed the stand.

After ACHEMA, KLINGER doBrasil Sales Manager Dalva Pascher tookthe opportunity to attend the OverseasMeeting in Austria organised by WolfgangSteinwender, Sales Manager of KLINGERAustria. Wolfgang Steinwender is respon-sible for America, Asia and Australia.

In front of an audience from theUnited States, Syria, Korea, Indonesia,Mexico and South Africa, Mrs DalvaPascher gave a technical presentation onKlinger actuators, and the competitive ad-vantages of their use with the KLINGER pis-ton valve in particular. With their perfectadaptation to KLINGER piston valves andthe suitability of the valve-sealing systemand actuator type to the varied needs of themarket, the actuators were very well re-ceived. In this new field of automation, it isalso surprising how quickly these pro-ducts have penetrated the market - facili-tated by the general recognition of the qua-lity of the KLINGER products. ■
