The Mark 200 high pressure globe control valve designed to handle the most extreme severe service applications also offers high competitive fl ow
capacity. The Mark 200’s large galleries include longer stroke lengths which provide fi ner control and result in more stages of severe service protection
in smaller size valves. With a clamped-in (DIN, screwed-in) seat ring, the Mark 200 has been designed for easy maintenance and fl exibility. The seat
retainer/cage (DIN, seat ring) in the Mark 200 can be changed out to provide an exceptional variety of severe service options, including anti-cavitation
and anti-noise.
Further sizing details are available in Performance!, Flowserve’s control valve sizing & selection software program (please contact your local Flowserve
representative for further details). The plug is typically pressure-balanced to allow smaller and more economical actuators. Flow over or under the plug
is available.

1 General Information
The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing and
performing maintenance as required on Flowserve Mark 200 control valves.
Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this
bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance on the
valve. Separate Installation, Operation, and Maintenance instructions cover
additional features (such as special trim, actuators, handwheels, packing
and positioners.)
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve parts, WARNING and
CAUTION notes must be strictly followed. Modifying this product, substituting
non-factory parts or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
could drastically affect performance and be hazardous to personnel
and equipment and may void existing warranties.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices must be adhered
to when working on this or any other process control product.
Specifically, personal protective and lifting devices must be
used as warranted.
NOTE ON FASTENERS: Selecting the proper fastener material is the
responsibility of the customer. Typically, the supplier does not know what the
valve service conditions or environment may be. Flowserve’s standard body
bolting material is B7/2H. B8 (stainless steel) is optional for applications
more than 800°F / 425°C and with stainless steel or alloy-body valves.
The customer therefore must consider the material’s resistance to stress
corrosion cracking in addition to general corrosion. As with any mechanical
equipment, periodic inspection and maintenance is required. For more
information about fastener materials, contact your Flowserve representative.

3 ASME Valve Unpacking
1. While unpacking the valve, check the packing list against materials
received. Lists describing valve and accessories are in each shipping
container.
2. Take care to position lifting straps to avoid damage to the tubing and
mounted accessories.
WARNING: When lifting a valve using the lifting lugs, be aware
that the center of gravity may be above the lifting point. Therefore,
support must be given to prevent the actuator from rotating. Failure
to do so can cause serious injury to personnel, damage to the valve
or nearby equipment.
3. Contact your shipper immediately if there is shipping damage.
4. Should any problem arise, call your Flowserve representative.
4 ASME Valve Installation
CAUTION: The valve must be installed and commissioned by
qualified staff. Qualified staff is defined as personnel who are
familiar with the installation, commissioning and operation of
this product and possess the relevant qualifications in their
field of activity.
1. Before installing the valve, clean the line of dirt, welding chips, scale or
other foreign material.
2. Whenever possible, the valve should be installed in an upright position.
Vertical installation permits easier valve maintenance. When vertical
installation is not possible contact your Flowserve representative.
CAUTION: Do not insulate extension bonnets that are provided
for hot or cold services.

NOTE: In some cases, the air supply must be limited to less than 150
psi (10.3 bar). This is indicated on a sticker or type plate found near
the upper air port on the actuator cylinder. An air regulator should
be installed to ensure the supply pressure does not exceed the line
pressure indicated on the sticker.*

4.1 ASME Valve Quick-check
Prior to start-up, check the control valve by following these steps:
WARNING: Due to the risk of injury, it is prohibited to work
between the yoke/columns while the valve is in operation.
1. Stroke the valve and observe the plug position indicator on the stem
clamp compared to the stroke indicator plate. The plug should change
position in a smooth, linear fashion.
NOTE: Due to excessive friction, graphite packing can cause the plug
stem to move in a jerky fashion.
2. Check for full stroke by making appropriate instrument signal change.
3. Be sure to provide proper overhead clearance for the actuator to allow
for disassembly of the plug from the valve body. Refer to Table 1 for the
necessary clearance needed for valve disassembly.
4. Double-check flow direction to be sure the valve is installed correctly.
Flow direction is indicated by the arrow attached to the body.
5. If welding the valve into the line, use extreme care to avoid excess heat
buildup in the valve.
6. Connect the air supply and instrument signal lines. Throttling control
valves are equipped with a valve positioner. Refer to the appropriate
4
positioner bulletin for connections, maximum air supplies, and
maintenance instructions.*
CAUTION: On valves equipped with air filters, the air filter must
point down to perform properly. *
3. Check all air connections for leaks.*
4. Check packing box bolting for the correct adjustment. Refer to the
packing installation manual for specific details on maintaining the style
of packing supplied.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten packing. This can cause excessive packing wear and high stem friction that may impede
plug movement.
5. Make sure the valve fails in the correct direction in case of air failure.
This is done by turning off the air supply and observing the failure
direction.**
6. After a temperature excursion has occurred, bonnet flange bolting
should be retorqued to ensure bonnet gaskets do not leak. See Table 2.

5 ASME Valve Maintenance
At least once every six months, check for proper operation by following
the preventative maintenance steps outlined below. These steps can be
performed while the valve is in-line and, in some cases, without interrupting
service. If an internal problem is suspected, refer to the “Valve Disassembly
and Reassembly” section.
WARNING: Keep hands, hair and clothing away from all moving
parts when operating the valve. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
8. Make sure positioner linkage and stem clamp or coupling pieces are
securely fastened. If the stem clamp or coupling pieces are loose, check
plug thread engagement (refer to the “Reassembling the Body” section
for the correct procedure on aligning the plug with the seat.) Tighten
stem clamp nut or counter nut.
9. Ensure all accessories, brackets and bolting are securely fastened.
10. If possible, remove air supply and observe actuator for correct fail-safe
action.*
11. Check rubber actuator bellows for splits, cuts or wear.*
12. Check tightness of the actuator. Spray a soap solution around the
cylinder actuator retaining ring, adjusting screw and actuator stem
guide to check for air leaks through the O-rings. *
13. Clean any dirt and other foreign material from the plug stem.
14. If an air filter is supplied, check and replace cartridge if necessary.*
* Pneumatic operated control valves
** Pneumatic operated control valves with safety function
1. Look for signs of gasket leakage through the end flanges and bonnet.
Retorque flange and bonnet bolting (if required). See Table 2.
2. Check for fluid leakage to the atmosphere through the body drain plug, if
applicable.
3. Examine the valve for damage caused by corrosive fumes or process
drippings.
4. Clean valve and repaint areas of severe oxidation.
5. Check packing box bolting for proper tightness. Refer to the packing
installation manual for specific details on maintaining the style of
packing supplied.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten packing. This can cause excessive packing wear and high stem friction that may impede
stem movement.
6. If the valve is supplied with a lubricator fitting, check lubricant supply
and add lubricant if necessary. See product documentation or contact
the Flowserve representative.
7. If possible, stroke the valve and check for smooth, full-stroke operation.
Unsteady stem movement could indicate an internal valve problem.
