Each control valve is comprised of two major components, namely, a valve body and an
actuator. Various combinations of valve body and actuator are available to meet various type
of uses with different valve sizes, pressure ratings, types of connections, types of materials, and
actuator sizes.
(For details of specifications, refer to Specification Sheets SS2-8113-0200, -0210, .0300, -0310,
-0400, and -2600.)
1-3. Structures
The structures of typical control valves are shown is Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-3.
The valve body is connected to the bonnet with stud bolts and nuts. A gasket is (two gaskets
are) provided at the connection Chapter to seal against the internal fluid or to let the valve
body make up a pressure vessel. The valve plug is supported by the guide ring and cage, and
driven by the actuator. The actuator has multiple springs and a diaphragm, and converts the
pneumatic control signal into a mechanical (positional) control signal with which to position
the valve plug.

A nameplate as shown in Figure 1-4 is posted on each control valve. The nameplate indicates
the model number, valve size, pressure rating, trim material, date of manu.facture and other
major specifications of the control valve. Before installing the con.trol valve, make sure
that the specifications indicated on the nameplate conform with the conditions of use. The
nameplate indicate also the product number (PROD.NO.) of the control valve. Please mention
this number also when consulting an Azbil Corp. agent for replacement of parts or other
modification of the control valve.

Chapter 2. Installation
2-1. Maximum lifting loads of eyebolts
The diaphragm case has a pair of lifting eyebolts. These eyebolts primarily are for lifting the
actuator alone. When using the eyebolts for other purposes (such as lifting an actuator bed
to its valve body or other components), note that the allowable maxi.mum lifting loads of the
eyebolts are as shown in the following table.
Table 2-1. Maximum lifting loads of eyebolts
Actuator Model No.Allowable Maximum Lifting
PSA1
HA2
HA3
HA4
Note: The eyebolts may be used to lift the actuator together with its valve buy (cast globe
valve) of up to pressure rating “Class 600”. When doing this, be extremely careful so that
no shock or other abnormal force is applied to the actuator or the valve body.
2-1. Installing valve in process pipe
(1) Before installing the valve in the process pipe, remove foreign matter (such as scales and
welding chips) from both upstream and downstream sides of the pro.cess pipe.
(2) Confirm that the direction of process fluid flow conforms with that of the arrow.head
mark provided on the valve body.
(3) Pay attention so that the pipe connection gaskets do not extrude into the process pipe
inside. Be sure to use gaskets made of material which is suitable for the pro.cess fluid. The
welding type of valve employ no gaskets.
(4) Pay attention so that no excessively large stress is conveyed from the process pipe to
the valve body. Uniformly tighten the bolts of the process pipe connection flange. The
high pressure type of valves have no flanges, since they are connected to the process by
welding.
(5) Before connecting the air pipes to the actuator and positioner, blow the pipes to clean
them.
(6) Do not install any heating or cooling provisions on the bonnet.

Notes for Disassembly
(1) The nuts for the eyebolts are made of stainless steel. Discriminate these nuts from other
nuts when assembling the diaphragm case.
(2) It is recommendable to make locating marks on the top and bottom diaphragm cases
before disassembly. This will help you to find easily the air piping connector location.
(3) Store the removed parts in a clean place.
CAUTION
Never loosen or remove carelessly the bolts and nuts of the actuator. The actuator
employs powerful compressed springs and if you remove the bolts and nuts carelessly,
the springs may leap out causing hazards. When removing the bolts and nuts, be sure
to observe the instructions given for disassembly and assembly procedures of the
actuator and top handwheel.

4-7. Disassembly and assembly actuator
Disassembly and assembly procedures are described herein. Refer to them for periodic
maintenace or if a malfunction occurs which may call for the disassembly or assembly of the
actuator.
Before disassembly
(1) Only the nuts for the eyebolts are made of stainless steel. Keep these nuts separate from
other nuts when disassembling the diaphragm case.
(2) Make locating marks on the top and bottom diaphragm cases before disassembling the
valve. This will help you to find the air piping connector location easily.
(3) Store the removed parts in a clean place.
Use extreme care when removing the bolts and nuts from the actuator. The actuator
contains powerful compressed springs that may cause physical injury or damage
to equipment. When removing the bolts and nuts, be sure to closely follow the
instructions given for the disassembly and assembly of the actuator and top hand
wheel.

Chapter 5. Adjustment
As a general rule the diaphragm type control Valves require no adjustment. However, when
coupling an actuator to a valve body after removing the actuator for overhaul or other
purposes, adjustment of travel (stroke) is necessary. For this adjustment, refer to Figure 4-7,
Figure 5-1 and proceed as follows:
(1) Fix the actuator to the valve body by securely tightening the yoke clamping-nut (use a
chisel and a hammer).
(2) Connect an adjustable air pressure (with a pressure regulator) to the actuator - to the top
diaphragm case for the direct action type or to the bottom diaphragm case for the reverse
action type.
(3) Lower the valve seat and check that it is contacted with the valve seat.
For the Direct Action Type
(4) Apply to the actuator the maximum air pressure corresponding to the spring range
indicated on the nameplate.
(5) Increase the air pressure to the supply pressure and check that the actuator stem moves by
1 - 2 mm in response. (This movement represents the allowance of stroke.)
(6) Decrease the air pressure once. Then increase it again to the maximum value
corresponding to the spring range, in the increasing direction.
(7) In the above state, align the actuator stem and valve stem on a straight line, adjust so that
the thread of the stem connector mates with those of actuator stem and valve stem and
securely tighten the clamping-bolts of the stem connector. (See Figure 5-1.)
For the reverse action type
(4) Apply to the actuator the minimum air pressure corresponding to the spring range
indicated on the nameplate, and check that the actuator stem moves by 1-2mm
inresponse.
(5) Increase the air pressure once. Then decrease it again to the minimum value corre.
sponding to the spring range, in the decreasing direction.
(6) Perform a procedure identical with that of Item (7) of ''For the Direct Action Type.'' (See
Figure 5-1.)

Chapter 6. Direct/Reverse Action Type Conversion and
Spring Range Change of Actuator
6-1. Direct/Reverse action change
As a general rule it is most recommendable to prepare separately the direct type and reverse
type of actuators and not to convert actuators into different types. However, when it has
become unavoidable to convert actuators into other types, conversions may be done by using
the parts mentioned below (Table 6-1 and Table 6-2). The parts marked “+” are the ones
which are newly needed and those marked “-” are ones which are not used.

6-2. Stroke and range spring change
As a general rule it is most recommendable to prepare separate actuators for different strokes
and spring ranges to avoid modifications. However, modifications can be done by using the
parts mentioned below.
Of Models HA2 and HA3, there are two different diameters of bonnet connection sections.
For these models, note the following:
Of Model HA2, modification for change between read stroke of 14.3 or 25mm and that of
38mm cannot be done.
Of Model HA2, modification for change between rated stroke of 25 or 38mm and that of
50mm cannot be done.

Chapter 9. Instructlons for Bellows Sealed Type of Control
Valves
The bellows sealed type of control valves differ from other control valves in that the former
employ a bellows for seal. This chapter covers primarily the particular items
related to the bellows sealed type of control valves.
Note: The bellows seal assembly should be replaced periodically. The frequency of
replacements depends on the conditions of use. When handling a mechanism which as
a bellows seal assembly, exercise care so that the mechanism is not twisted. Note that the
bellows is not highly resistant against torsion.

Chapter 10. Azbil Low Emission standard-compliant
gland packing
10-1. Overview
Azbil low emission gland packing is a gland structure that employs a Live Load structure
to its performance for a long period of time. In order to meet the emission regulations for
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) required by the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments
(CAAA), we confirmed that the amount of gland leakage was not more than 500 ppm in
terms of the atmospheric concentration of the equivalent methane value on the basis of Azbil
Corporation's own evaluation criteria. * For the structure of the gland, refer to the structural
drawing of Azbil low emission gland packing in Fig. 10-1.
* In Japan and overseas as of October, 2005, there are no industry standards that lay down any
evaluation method for gland leakage.

The gland packing P4519 for use in Azbil low emission gland packing is woven PTFE yarn
with carbon fiber core. This gland packing provides asbestos-free properties in addition to low
sliding friction and adaptability to heat cycles, and is adaptable to a wide range of fluids.
This gland packing is fastened with a Live Load structure comprised of Belleville springs. The
Belleville springs are made to be tight compressing at the time of initial fastening. As a valve
is operated, the seal performance of the gland packing becomes deteriorated because of strain
release, but the restoring force of the Belleville springs automatically retightens it to maintain
seal performance. The Belleville springs are installed in the spring case for the purposes of
positioning and environmental protection. The loading conditions of the Belleville springs can
be determined by checking a front window and scale marks of the spring case.
The set of parts can be added to an existing product without any change of its main body or
actuator if it is an applicable control valve.

Table 10-4 shows the tightening torque.
If the tightening torque is less than the specified value, be aware that the amount of leakage
may exceed the specified value because of insufficient tightening.
If the tightening torque is more than the specified value, be aware that the amount of leakage
may exceed the specified value in a short period of time because of the accelerated wear of the
gland packing, in addition to the increased sliding friction of the stem.

In the following cases, retighten the gland nuts with the specified torque:
a) At the time of an inspection before the installation of the control valve
b) At the time of a test operation or start-up operation of the equipment
c) In case the leakage amount of the gland exceeds the specified value during operation of the
If the leakage amount of the gland still exceeds the specified value after retightening, reinstall
the complete set of gland parts. In addition, it is recommended that the gland packing and the
Belleville springs be replaced with new parts.

Chapter 11. Certified ISO 15848-1 compliant low emission
gland packing
11-1. Overview
Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing employs a live-loaded packing system
to maintain valve seal performance for a long period of time. The gland packing system has
acquired third-party certification for compliance with ISO15848-1, which is the international
standard for low-emission performance of valves. For the structure of the gland, see Fig. 11-1
and Fig. 11-2.

Fig. 11-2. Structure of Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing (for expanded
graphite)
11-1
11-2. Structure
The main packing (No. P4519) is PTFE yarn with a carbon fiber core. It features low friction
and can be used for various types of fluids. The main packing (No. P6617CL) is an expanded
graphite packing. The part of it that slides is aligned with an expanded graphite sheet that
was specially modified and lubricated. The adapter packing (No. P6720) is made by braiding
expanded graphite yarn reinforced with PTFE fiber, and features low friction.
These gland packings are tightened by the live-loaded packing system, which is composed of
Belleville springs and other parts. With other systems, in the course of valve operation, seal
performance deteriorates due to loosening of the gland packing. The force of the Belleville
springs reduces the release of tension to maintain the seal. The load on the Belleville springs
can be observed from the position of the packing flange and packing follower.
11-3. Starting Operation
Before operating the valve, tighten (or retighten) the gland. For instructions, refer to 11-4-2,
“(3) Tightening”.
If leakage from the gland continues even after proper tightening, obtain and prepare parts as
indicated in “11-4-1. Preparation for assembly”, and follow the procedure given in “11-4-2.
Assembly”.

(1) Applying lubricating grease
Step 1
For Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing for PTFE yarn, apply a thin film of
grease Krytox GPL207 indicated in Table 11-3 to the surface of all gland packings (main
packing and adapter packing). For Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing for
expanded graphite, greasing is not necessary.
Step 2
For Certified ISO 15848-1 low emission gland packing with two O-rings, which are placed
inner and outer sides of the packing follower, apply grease Plastilube No.3 made by Sulflo Inc.
indicated in Table 11-3 to both rings.

on the gland nut end of the gland studs, and screw the nuts on by hand.
(3) Tightening
(1/2)
StepProcedure
Tighten the left and right gland nuts alternately, making approximately a half turn
each, until the torque indicated in Table 11-4 or Table 11-5 is reached. Note that if
the tightening torque is insufficient, the amount of leakage may exceed the specified
value. On the other hand, tightening the gland nuts with excessive torque increases
the friction on the stem and causes the gland packing to wear out faster, which may
lead to an amount of leakage exceeding the specified value in a short period of time.
By tightening the gland nuts to the torque indicated in Table 11-4 or Table 11-5, the
top of the packing flange and packing follower will be at almost the same level, as
illustrated in Fig. 11-6 below (the level may not be exactly the same due to the
tolerance of the Belleville springs and friction on the gland studs or gland nuts).
If the Belleville springs are mounted in the wrong direction, or if the gland nuts are
tightened to a torque that does not comply with the torque specified in Table 11-4
and Table 11-5, the level of the top of the packing flange and packing follower will
not be the same (see Fig. 11-7). Check if the direction of washers of the Belleville
springs and the tightening torque are correct.
