Global quality. Total reliability. Two recurrent claims in present-day corporate strategies. But the transition from words to actions demands tangible measures. Specialization and organization underlie what amounts to a quality culture at BFE, not in the abstract but as a set of specific rules governing every stage of production. An operating model that is good to have in a partner who bears the responsability of supplying valves that are essential to plant safety and regulation.

DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, MARKING FOR API 6A VALVES

BFE manufactures a complete line of quality API 6A valves, and can provide the exact valves and actuators to meet the most demanding application requirements. Our API 6A valves are available in an extensive range of designs, materials, sizes and pressure classes and are in full conformance with API and NACE specifications. All API 6A valves are designed in accordance with API 6A and where applicable with ASME VIII Div.1 and Div. The BFE family of API 6A valves provides positive shut-off of fluids and gases under extreme service conditions. BFE uses only high-quality materials inspected & tested to International Standards and utilizes advanced manufacturing technology with special emphasis on safety, quality, and long service life of our products, to ensure that our clients receive the "best in class" products available from us at a competitive price and delivered on time. The forging material can ensure the best rigidity and strength under maximum rated operation pressure without inherent flaw of cast. Other properties found in forging include greater impact resistance, resistance to fatigue cracking, particularly when cycling at either high or cryogenic temperature. Overdesigned wall thickness and adaptation of high strength tie bolts are convenient for valve maintenance and sufficient to bear the stress of pipe. The internal parts of valve are carefully designed and selected to ensure reliability under all kinds of work conditions. Since a variety of materials are available, BFE valves can be used with various fluids and gases including petroleum based oils and extreme sour gas service. BFE API 6A Valve design is developed using the latest software based analysis tools. At the design stage, all projects are analysed using 3D solid modeling tools. Benefits include reduction of development time and costs, improved product quality, and ability to solve field problems for customers. Product flexibility and accuracy is assured. GENERAL MAIN FEATURES WIDE RANGE Size and pressure ranges that meet or exceed the requirements of API 6A, latest edition. Special range available on customer request and high temperature design acc.to API 6A Annex "G" available. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a very important step of the development stage and ensures the best possible performance requirements. Valves operational problems, pressure/temperature related deformations and flow-related forces within a valve can be evaluated. BFE S.r.l. uses the FEA for predicting failure due to unknown stresses by showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all of the theoretical stresses within. This method of product design and testing is far superior to the manufacturing costs which would accrue if each sample was actually built and tested. During any analysis project, it is the responsibility of the BFE analyst to verify that analysis results conform to the physics of the problem under study. Understanding the response of a structure or manufactured product allows effective design decisions to be made in developing structures and products that are functional, meet all engineering requirements, and can be manufactured and assembled. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to simulate operating flow conditions. Evaluation of Valve CV coefficient and convective heat transfer coefficient takes place at the design stage.

FIRE-SAFE TEST APPROVED BFE API 6A valves are designed in accrdance with API 607 & API SPEC 6FA where applicable. FULL BORE The full round bore design allows the fluid to flow through the valve smoothly without causing turbulence and minimize pressure drop. The absence of surface cavity eliminates the accumulation of foreign matter and allows passage of tools through the valves. QUALITY LEVELS Quality levels from PSL1 to PSL4 available. WIDE RANGE OF TRIM OPTIONS Valve trims for any service, including H2S, CO2, high - low temperature and extremely corrosive environments. INSPECTION AND TESTING Every valve is subjected on a routine basis to different non-destructive testing, like dye penetrant test on butt weld ends and on all hard faced and cladding areas. Non-destructive tests are also carried out on the critical areas as defined by ASME B16.34. Optional examinations like: Radiographic Magnetic particicles Ultrasonic Helium leak test Personnel performing NDT are trained and qualified to EN 473/ ASNT-SNT-TC-1A. Every valve is subject to a pressure test in accordance with the standard API 6A. The rated pressure for the applicable pressure class is in accordance with API 6A. MARKING AND IDENTIFICATION Each valve is identified on proper name plate and on valve body as required by API 6A, MSS-SP 25, ASME B16.34 Name plate carries all information on rating, size, valve body and trim material, customer tags. Body marking includes material designations (per ASTM) and heat code and of course the trade mark.

API 6A VALVE TYPES AND KEY FEATURES

1. BFE slab-style gate is a simple one-piece & solid gate design, featuring metal to-metal

seal between gate and seats, so as to apply to the most severe and demanding service condition, including corrosive and abrasive uid environments. 2. Non-rising stem design to permit smart valve installation. 3. Full open through conduit construction to eliminate turbulence and pressure drop. 4. Upper grease injection tting to reduce the abrasion between gate and seats. 5. Back seat with conical seal surface against stem allows stem seal replacement under pressure. 6. Expanding gate design available on request.

SLAB GATE VALVE

1. Special Design made for high-pressure modern drilling mud systems.

MUD SERVICE GATE VALVE

2. In the case of dynamic pressure lifetime of the trim designed according to the most severe

frequency & amplitude conditions at 7500psi series with modern triplex mud pumps. 3. Soft Seat maximal rating up to 7500psi. For API 10000 and above the applicable design is the slab type. 4. Typical internal uid types are mud, cement, fracturing and water service. 5. High structural strength: All valves have the pressure retaining parts (Body and Bonnet) only in FORGED STEEL. 6. Self energized packing. The Packing doesnt require initial compression or periodical adjustments. 7. Quality level according to API 6A - PSL 1, 2 or 3.

1. In the trunnion mounted design conguration, the ball is supported by bearing, held in

position by the valve closures. This conguration allows to discharge any side loads on the valve body, enabling a smoother operation of the ball, minimizing the operating torque and reducing seat seal wear. 2. Anti-Blow Out stem design. 3. Standard seat design is single piston effect. Double piston effect sealing barrier available on request. 4. Antistatic device. 5. Modular double block and bleed valves (two ball and a needle system) according to API 6A are available on request.

TRUNNION BALL VALVE

1. The closure element is a pivoted apper which is swung open by ow and which sits against

SWING CHECK VALVE

a mating at surface in the valve body, under no-ow conditions.

2. Full bore and piggable design. 3. Metal to metal and bubble tight sealing. 4. Disc-Hinge center of mass designed as standard to allow horizontal or vertical installation. 5. Best CV values produces the lowest pressure drop. 6. Long service life. 7. Special seal surfaces design for gas service (PSL 3G & 4). 8. On Request external counterweights mounted on the hinge pin to increase or decrease the

reaction time and speed of the disc returning to the closed position.
