Founded in 1842, Walworth has been leader in the valve industry since its inception, continuing
to utilize the latest technology for product improvement and the development of new products. Today,
Walworth offers complete lines of industrial valves in a variety of configurations, sizes, pressure classes
and materials.
Walworth continues to meet and exceed the quality standards required for products used in Nuclear,
Military, industrial and process installations. These valves are manufactured under and comply with strict
international standards such as API, ANSI, ASME, ASTM, MSS, NACE, AWWA, BSI, CSA, etc.
Walworth Engineers are continuously evaluating our existing product utilizing all of today's advanced
analysis and engineering tools to assure that our valves conform to customer requirements as well as
industry standards.
New designs are made following the same rigorous methodology and are tested in our laboratory under
actual load/pressure conditions. Additionally, they are subjected to cyclic operation under pressure to
determine wear/life expectancy.
All Walworth manufacturing facilities operate under quality systems such as the International standards
organization ISO-9001 series and the American Petroleum Institute API Q1 Specifications for quality.
These systems have been in place for more than ten years and are audited for compliance by independent
auditors for ISO and/or API as well as by such customers as BP/Arco, Shell Oil, Exxon/Mobil, Texaco,
Dow Chemical, etc.
Casting and forging product quality is assured through close control of our own foundry and forging
facilities. The same type of close control is exercised over all of our suppliers through continuous
verification of materials and part, form, fit and function.
The Walworth group of enterprises is dedicated to the design; manufacture and servicing of flow control
products that effectively meet our customer's requirements.
The complete line of Walworth products are manufactured under a controlled Quality Assurance System
with documented procedures that meet all industry specifications and customer requirements. These
procedures and controls include raw material purchasing and verification, process controls, assembly, test
and shipping with all required documentation.
The Walworth Quality Assurance System is documented in a Manual that has been approved by ISO-
9001 certificate and is licensed by API to monogram API 6A and API 6D product under the API Q1
monogram program.
Each valve undergoes a design validation through a function and pressure test to demonstrate
conformance to requirements, this results in a Material Test Report (MTR) documenting the chemical and
mechanical properties for the pressure containing parts that is traceable to the valve serial number. The
results of any additional non-destructive examinations (NDE) are also recorded and referenced to the
valve serial number.
All valves are identified and marked conforming to the requirements of MSS SP-25 both on the valve
body and valve name plate.

PRESSURE RATING
The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) establishes standards for materials resistant to
Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) to be used in Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) bearing hydrocarbon service.
NACE Standard MR-07-75 defines a sulfide stress cracking region based on the relationship of (H2S)
present to the total operating pressure.
This must be considered when specifying valves for service where (H2S) is present as proper selection of
materials is a customer responsibility.
Sulfide stress cracking in materials not suitable for H2S service can result in a sudden failure with damage
to equipment and harm to personnel.
The customer can select valves made of alloy/carbon steel material with controlled hardness and/or a
stainless steel material depending on the severity of the fluid. Valves having a body with a controlled
hardness of Rc 22 and studs B7M, nut 2HM, can be combined with a customer selection trim and
manufactured to meet NACE MR-01-75 requirements.
MATERIAL SELECTION
The Walworth standard cast steel product line includes many different valves designed to meet most
applications.
Special adaptations can be made to meet specific customer requirements. Valves can be supplied with
manual handwheel/gear operation, chain wheel, as well as electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators.
This makes it possible for Walworth to furnish valves adapted to the customers special needs such as
controlled opening/closing and remote installation.
Valves can also be supplied with a bypass, drain or vent connection, stem extension, position indicators,
floor stand mounting as well as a lever and weight system for swing check valves.
Gear Operators
A manual gear operator is designed with a bevel gear and pinion ratio sized to transmit the required
opening/closing torque with normal operator effort on the hand wheel. They can be supplied as
waterproof units and/or for underground installation with a square operating nut.
Actuators
Valves can be furnished with either electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. The actuators can be
furnished as either waterproof and/or explosion proof. The customer must specify such things as open-
close speed, maximum differential pressure, service temperature, type of voltage-phase-frequency, air or
gar pressure for pneumatic actuators and flow characteristics for hydraulic actuators to be assured of
correct performance.
OPERATORS AND ACTUATORS
The Solid Wedge Valves (Slab Gate) are normally supplied with hand wheel and gear operator, but they
can also be equipped with a pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuator.
Whenever the client requires a Solid Wedge Valve (Slab Gate) equipped with an actuator, the following
information should be submitted.
