             DESIGN
         Floating ball valves are manufactured in five main types:
         Two pieces bolted body type SB220 T/R
         Screwed Body type HD 200 T/R-HD 215 T/R-EB 263 T/R
         EB 275 T/R-WN 250 T/R
         Three pieces bolted body type HD 350 T/R-WN 355T/R
         End Entry type EE 100 R only class ANSI 150 Lbs reduced bore.
         Wafer type WF 421 T class ANSI 150 full bore.
         Ball valves can be supplied full or reduced bore, designed for maximum rigidity
         against pipeline thrust, made from hot forged components or barstock.
         Bolted and screwed body constructions allow easy service and maintenance
         operation on site.
         End connections are SW or NPT for series HD and EB, FF-RF-RTJ-BW for SB
         series.
         Pressure rating is from class ANSI 150 up to ANSI 2500 Lbs.
         Valves are usually supplied with lever operator, with gear box or bare stem on
         customer request.
             MATERIALS SELECTION
         Valves have been designed for use with various combinations of materials such
         as: Carbon Steel, Low Carbon Steel, Special Alloy, Bronze/Alluminium, Duplex
         and Super Duplex, 6mo, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy, Titanium etc.
             SEAT
         Valves are designed to guarantee a perfect seal by means of suitable materials of
         seat also for high pressure applications.
         For hight temperature application, seats and ball are supplied with metal to
         metal contact by means of tungsten carbide overlay.

    STEM
Stem is made separately from the ball, anti blow-up design with suitable PTFE
ring, OR in viton, graphite rings and antistatic device. On request stem can be
also supplied with extension for special applications or insulation.
    BALL
Solid type is usually made in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel ENP, Special Alloy
and with tungsten carbide overly for metal to metal service.
    TESTS
All valves are tested in accordance with BS 6755 part. 1, API 6D, API 598,
MSS-SP-61 and ASME B 16.104.
    EXTERNAL COATING

                DESIGN
            LCM trunnion mounted ball valves are manufactured to satisfy all the control services
            of fluids. Side entry two or three pieces bolted construction simplify field service and
            maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline site.
            Trunnion ball valves can also be available with body fully welded.
            They are built in accordance with latest design specifications of API 6D and wall thick-
            ness complies with ASME B 16.34.
            All valves are available in full or reduced bore. End connections can be FF-RF-RTJ-BW.
            Pressure rating is from class ANSI 150 to ANSI 2500 Lbs.
            Valves are usually supplied with lever, gear box, actuator or bare stem on customer
            request.
                MATERIALS SELECTION
            Choosing carefully the basic materials and relevant components, ball valves can be
            used at different pressure and temperature for many applications.
            Standard base materials are: Carbon Steel, Low Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel,
            Special Alloy, Duplex and Super Duplex, 6mo, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy, Titanium etc.
                BODY-CLOSURE
            They are usually made from forged rings which can guarantee perfect body sealing.
            Seal between body and closures is obtained by double sealing components: O-Ring
            and graphite gaskets in order to insure safe body sealing even in case of fire.
            The bolted joint is strong and rigid to resist against pipeline compression and bending
            moment.
                SEAT SEAL
            Independent floating seats with preloaded springs energized by line pressure are
            always in contact with the ball and can guarantee a perfect seal of the valve, even in
            case of low differential pressure. Furthermore the seat to ball contact increases as well
            as the line pressure does, while when in closed position an excess pressure in the
            body cavity is automatically relieved. The replaceable seat rings with soft seal insert
            made with suitable material for any temperature, pressure and medium conditions.
            For very high temperature services, sealing is guaranteed by metal to metal seat by
            means of tungsten carbide metal-spry coating on ball and seal rings. From NB 6 and
            over, the sealant injection system is available on request for restoring the sealing
            integrity in the event of damage of soft seal.
                                                                                              Italia SrL
                                                                                              CONTENTS
                                                                                               << LAST
    STEM
The stem is made separately from the ball, anti blow-up design. Pressure thrust against
the stem is supported by a DU-DRY ring that reduces the friction between stem and ball.
Stem sealing is obtained using O-Ring and graphite gaskets that can be easily
replaced with the ball in closed position under line pressure. The stem can also be
replaced by dismounting the gland flange. From NB 2 and over, stem can be
equipped with emergency grease fitting. It is possible to supply valves with stem
extention for underground installation or insulation.
    BALL
It is usually made from forged piece in Stainless Steel up to NB 2, Carbon Steel ENP,
Stainless Steel or Special Alloy from NB 3 and spherical surfaces are lapped.
Trunnion mounted ball minimises the operating torque and reduces wear of seat seal.
    TESTS
All valves are tested in accordance with BS 6755 part 1, API 6D, API 598, MSS-SP-61.
NDE can be carried out on customer request.
    EXTERNAL COATING
Standard external finishing for carbon steel valves is by inorganic zinc primer, but
valves can be also supplied unpainted or with special paint finishing in according to
customer request.
    ACCESSORIES
Drain, bleeder and vent connections, double piston effect, locking devices, transition
pieces (pipe ends) for butt welding ends, extended bonnet for underground installation,
gearbox, electrical or pneumatic or hydraulic actuators.
