Inspection and Test Requirement of Control Valves

  • Visual Test as per MSS SP-55
  • Dimensional Test:
    • Face-to-face dimensions as per ANSI/ISA-75.08.01, ANSI/ISA-75.08.06, and ASME B16.10.
    • Flange facings and dimensions as per ASME B 16.5
  • Check of Body Marking as per ASME B 16.5, ASME B 16.34, and MSS-SP 25.
  • Chemical analysis and mechanical properties as per the applicable ASTM material code
  • Nondestructive test as per ASME B 16.34
  • Hydrostatic test as per ASME B 16.34 or MSS-SP61
  • Seat leakage test as per ANSI/FCI 70-2.
  • Actuator Leakage Test at 1.5 times maximum design pressure.
  • Functional and Performance test (i.e. hysteresis plus deadband, linearity, repeatability, etc) as per IEC 60534-4 and ISA 75.13.01
  • For electrical accessories (such as solenoid valve, I/P positioner, position transmitter etc):
    • Functional Test
    • Electrical type and routine test as per IEC 61010-1
