Valve and Operator
Maintenance
3.1. General
• Valves are mechanical devices specifically designed to direct,
start, stop, mix, or regulate the flow, pressure, or temperature
of a process fluid.
• Berdasarkan atas fungsinya, aplikasinya, dan rancangannya,
valve dapat dibedakan ke dalam beragam kelas styles, sizes,
dan ragam pressure.
• Tipe yang umum ditemukan adalah plug, ball, globe, butterfly,
dan gate valves.
• Valve dapat dibuat dari berbagai material seperti: steel,
steel iron,
iron
plastic, brass, atau sejumlah material paduan khusus lainnya.
• Komponen-komponen utama sebuah valve diberikan pada

• The internal
elements of a valve
are collectively
referred to as a
valve's trim.
• The trim typically
includes a disc,
seat, stem, and
sleeves needed to
guide the stem.
• A valve's perfor-
mance is
determined by the
di and
disc d seatt
interface and the
relation of the disk
position to the
seat.

3.2. Valve Maintenance Requirement
Coding and Color
• Industryy practice
p is g
generally
y to label and color-code all
identifiable mainline valves.
• There is no unified color-coding utilized by the industry, and
each company selects its own colors.
• Valve labels are more unified and generally the following
symbology is adopted by the industry (Table 1)

Valve Inspection and Schedule
Codes and regulation require that every pipeline valve be
inspected and partially operated at least once each calender
year, i.e., this is mandatory, not optional.

and side valves, including remotely operated valves, at least
twice a year at intervals not exceeding 7,5 month.
The inspection and maintainance usually includes:
• Checking valve for general appearance, condition and
leaks.
• Lubricating the valve and parts.
• Checking valve support and pipe support.
• Performing any required maintenance works as per MI.
Valve Inspection and Schedule (cont’d)
• Operating all valve from full open to close, if practical.
• Correcting all deficiencies or problems found during the
routine inspection.
• Verifying valve proper operating position upon completion
of the inspection and maintenance.
Pipeline inspection usually proceeds with the supplier/user
given prior notice of the intent to operate any valve that affect
the flow of fluid in a major facility.
All valves are to be locked except p those within the confines of
an approved area, building or other enclosue that is locked.
Record keeping, which must include remote valve
maintenance/test report.

Preventime Maintenance Treatment
To prevent damage, the following procedures is generally
followed:
Pre-shipment:
p
• After hydrostatic testing, the valve needs to be cycled to the
full open position.
• Valve is packaged properly to prevent grease from leaking
out and to prevent the air, water spray from entering the
valve’s body
• Sealant system is to be filled by means of injecting a light
grade synthetic valve lubricat.
• All body vent/drain valve need be in the close position.
Preventime Maintenance Treatment(cont’d)
Shiping and Receiving:
• To protect from corrosion, valve may be coated with a light
varnish to protect external surface and with a light oil or
grease all inernal surfaces.
• End covers is used to keep water and airborne
contaminants from internal surface.
• The shipper/receiver need to verify that end covers are
intact, the shipping
pp g ggrease has not leaked out that water
has not leaked into the valve body.
• The shipper/receiver should not remove the end caps
unless internal damage is supected.
Preventime Maintenance Treatment(cont’d)
Valve Handling:
• Valve need to be handled properly during loading/
unloading and during transportation.
transportation
• Preparation consists of crating/uncrating the vavle,
protecting/removing the protective end covers and placing
in on the ground to be externally painted or coated before
welding into the pipeline.
• Valves should be lifted byy means of external sling
g attached
to the valve at the position as indicated by the
manufacturer.
Preventime Maintenance Treatment(cont’d)
Installation:
• Prior to installation, it is required that all varnish coating be
removed carefully.
• Case NO OPERATOR: all exposed valve stems must be
cleaned and wrapped with a plastic waterproof covering
and taped to secure.
• Case WITH OPERATOR: it is critically important to ensure
the valve and operator from flexing.
• Special care must be taken to ensure that valve body does
not overheat and damage body or internal elastomers
(Teflon seals and O-rings).
• After installation it is important to ensure that the stem
system is energized to ensure smooth opeation.

Preventime Maintenance Treatment(cont’d)
Hydrostatic Testing:
• Hydrostatic test pressure must never be applied against a
closed valve unless the valved is rated for the maximum
test pressure.
• Prior to pressurizing the pipeline, all ball valve must be
rotated to the half closed/open position to prevent the
possibility of a pressure differential in the valve body.
• Valve must not be allowed to remain in this position for an
extended p period of time the elastomers in the seat ringg
become deformed severe seat leakage.
• Follow the SOP for hydrostatic testing as required by code
or regulation.
• Upon completion of successful hydostatic test, valve must
be returned to the full open position.

Preventime Maintenance Treatment(cont’d)
Pipeline Commissioning:
• Sand, dirt, pebbles and rocks, sand blasting material, hand
tools and timbres are some of the manyy contaminants
normally discovered in valve bodies, pig receivers and
scrapper/filter devices during pipeline commissioning during
pipeline commisioning/after startup.
• Minor valve seat leakage is often the result of tiny scratches
to the seating surfaces caused by these contaminants.
• Experience
p indicates that a valve with even minor scratches
will leak under high pressure, particularly in gas pipeline.
• These scratches may continue to erode into large leak path
if PM program is not in place.
• Some PM procedure are described by Sealweld (1992,
2003).
