4.1.8
The speed of response of the valve shall be carefully examined to ensure compliance with the particular application requirements. For eg. valves in compressor surge system; tanker and other pipeline loading systems are required to complete their full travel in 1 to 5 seconds. However caution must be exercised in determining the full open to full close duration to ensure that there are no occurrences of surge pressures due to sudden valve closures.
4.1.9
Valves with liners on body and trims with vulcanised liners shall be subject to careful analysis and PDVSA approval.
4.1.10
By – pass valves shall only be installed after a “HAZOP” study has been performed. Block valves and by – pass manifold shall be in accordance with I.S.A. standard RP 75.06.
4.1.11
Three way control valves shall be used, subject to PDVSA approval.
4.1.12
Valves used on emergency shut off service applications shall be dedicated solely to that service only and shall not be used for normal process control purposes.
