Cameron’s Valves & Measurement (V&M) group is a leading provider of valves and

measurement systems to the Oil and Gas industry. The group’s products are primarily used

to control, direct and measure the flow of oil and gas as it is moved from individual

wellheads through flow lines, gathering lines and transmission systems to refineries,

petrochemical plants and industrial centers for processing.

The Process Valves division provides critical service valves for refinery, chemical and

petrochemical processing businesses and for associated storage terminal applications,

® ®particularly through the ORBIT and GENERAL VALVE product lines. ORBIT and GENERAL

®VALVE lines are complimented by WKM and TBV™ valve products and expand the scope

of this division’s product offerings.

Today, ORBIT continues to provide outstanding products and services through the ongoing

process of Six Sigma. The ORBIT valves’ block valve technology provides valves with

unmatched durability, safety and long term performance.

The ORBIT valve is aligned with the other fine products of Cameron’s Valves &

Measurement group that lead their field in pipelining, oil and gas production, offshore,

onshore, sub-sea, refining and industrial processing. With its full spectrum of quality

designs and field service that spans the globe, Cameron’s Valves & Measurement group is

the world leader in single source partnering for valve products.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

ORBIT valves are ideal where frequent cycling and a positive shut-off are required.

TO CLOSE AN ORBIT VALVE

To close an ORBIT valve, as thehandwheel isturned, the stem begins to lower.

Precision spiralgrooves in the stemact against fixed guide pins, causing the stem and core to rotate.

Continued turning of the handwheel rotates the core and stem a full 90° without the coretouching the seat.

Final turns of thehandwheelmechanically wedgethe stem down,pressing the corefirmly against the seat.

®THE ORBIT VALVE


OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The ORBIT valve top entry design provides convenient access for inline inspection and repairs when required. For environmental protection, injectable packing can be replenished while valves are under full line pressure, on enclosed bonnet models.

Every ORBIT valve incorporates a proven tilt

and turn operation that eliminates seal

rubbing, which is the primary cause of valve

failure.

When an ORBIT valve is closed, the core is

mechanically wedged tightly against the seat,

assuring positive shut-off.

When an ORBIT valve begins to open, the core

tilts away from the seat and line flow passes

uniformly around the core face.

This eliminates the localized high velocity

flow that typically creates uneven seat wear in

ordinary ball, gate and plug valves. The core

then rotates to the full open position.

The absence of seal rubbing during both

opening and closing means easy, low torque

valve operation and long term reliable

performance.

When valve leakage cannot be tolerated, the

ORBIT operating principle can be relied upon

to deliver a positive shut-off.

The ORBIT valve shown is complete with an ORBIT piston actuator that allows remote or automatic operation.

PRODUCT RANGE AND OPTIONS

ORBIT builds complete packages that may include valve, actuator and instrumentation. Single source responsibility removes any doubt about where to call for service.

ORBIT valves are manufactured in a

variety of materials, sizes and trims

to meet specific requirements.

MATERIALS:

SEATS:

OPERATION:

CUSTOMIZING:

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS:

Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex SS, High

Nickel Alloys and other special materials are

used as service conditions require. Internal and

external protective coatings are available for

added durability in corrosive situations.

Elastomer or metal seal options are selected

for the intended service. Because the seals in

the valves do not rub and because they are

mechanically compressed shut, they survive in

high temperature and abrasive situations.

Hand or power operation can be selected.

ORBIT builds double acting, spring close and

spring open pneumatic actuators. User

selected electric and hydraulic actuators are

available. Extensive instrumentation choices

are offered.

Handwheel extensions, safety interlocks,

position indicator limit switches, thermal

jackets, custom painting and special inspection

can be provided.

Contact CAMSERV for inspection,

maintenance and repairs for all ORBIT valve

products.
