The valve body and other pressure containing parts shall be designed in compliance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1. The corrosion allowance indicated on the Valve Datasheet shall be considered in the design; however, the minimum wall thickness shall not be less than the minimum requirement of ASME B16.34.

The valves shall be outside stem and yoke, non-rising stem, parallel/conduit or wedge type gate design, however this specification may be utilised for alternate designs when required by the Purchase Documents. The cover shall be bolted to the body. Screwed connections are not acceptable. Valve seats shall be with primary metal to metal contact. The gate and metal seat ring assembly shall be part matched by lapping. Soft seals, if used for drip tight sealing, shall be encased in a suitably designed groove in such a manner that they cannot be removed from the seat ring, and such that no extrusion occurs during operation at maximum differential pressure. The seat rings shall be designed to ensure sealing, at low, as well as high differential pressures. The valve design shall avoid bimetallic corrosion between carbon steel and high alloy components used in the assembly. Accordingly, suitable insulation shall be provided as required. Valves shall be designed to withstand a sustained internal vacuum of at least 1 (one) millibar in both open and closed positions. Valve design shall provide for the repair of gland packing under full line pressure. Valve ends shall be flanged, as indicated on the Valve Datasheet.
