MSS STANDARD PRACTICE
4. DESIGN
4.1 General
4.1 .1 The valve shall be of substantial
construction to resist permanent distortion
under normal service conditions and shall
be free of imperfections and defects, which
may be injurious to the performance of the
valve.
4.1 .2 The valve shall be designed such as to
provide against detrimental distortion, under
hydrostatic test conditions, assembly stresses,
and closing stresses.
4.2 Joints
4.2.1 The design of the valve shall be such
as to provide against detrimental distortion
under hydrostatic test conditions, assembly
stresses, closing stresses, pipe reaction
stresses, or when rated pressure is applied
across a closed valve.
4.2.2 Bolting shall be threaded in accordance
with ASME B1.1.
4.2.3 Threaded body joints exposed to
piping loads shall satisfy the following thread
shear area requirements:

the valve is pressurized, the valve shall be
designed so that the stem retainer assembly
(gland) alone does not retain the stem.
4.4.2 Valves shall be provided with a means
so that, in the event of a structural failure of
stem-to-closure attachment items, the stem
will not be ejected through the pressure
boundary while the valve is under pressure.
4.5 Stem Packing
4.5.1 The valve shall have provisions for
adjustment of a gland or packing nut in order
to obtain a seal at the stem packing.
4.5.1 .1 The exception to Section 4.5.1 is
for valves with elastomeric stem seals,
where adjustment is not possible.
MSS STANDARD PRACTICE
4.6 Position Indication
4.6.1 The valve shall have a positive means
of indication of ball port position. If the
handle is the only means of indication (i.e.,
valve not equipped with position indication),
it shall be designed such that the handle
cannot be assembled to indicate other than
the position of the ball port.
5. DIMENSIONS
5.1 Valve port diameters for full port,
regular port, reduced port are defined in Table
1 . All components forming the flow stream
shall have an inside diameter no smaller than
as specified in Table 1 .
6. MARKING
6.1 Ball valves shall be marked in
accordance with MSS SP-25.
7. TESTING
7.1 Proof-of-Design Test
7.1 .1 Representative valves of each design
and each size shall be able to demonstrate
successful performance under the following
testing:
7.1 .2 Cycle Test Representative valves
shall be cycled 1 ,000 times (one cycle being
from full closed to full open and back to full
closed) at the rated pressure at 1 80 °F. The
valve shall successfully perform the Seat Test
per Section 7.1 .4 after completion of the
cycle test.
7.1 .3 Hydrostatic Test Representative
valves shall withstand pressure of 2.5 times
the rated CWP for five minutes without
rupture, cracking, or permanent distortion.
The ball shall be in the partial open/closed
position to assure pressurization of the valve
cavity. The valve shall successfully perform
the Seat Test per Section 7.1 .4 after
completion of the hydrostatic test.
7.1 .4 Seat Test Representative valves shall
withstand one half and then one and one-half
times the rated CWP for five minutes at each
3
SP-1 45
pressure without any visible leakage. The test
fluid shall be air, gas, water, kerosene, or
liquids with a viscosity no greater than that of
water. The test fluid temperature shall be
below 1 00 °F.
7.2 Production Test
7.2.1 Shell Test
7.2.1 .1 Each valve shall be given a shell
test, at a pressure of 1.5 times the CWP,
rounded off to the next higher 25 psi. The
test fluid shall be air/gas, water, kerosene, or
liquids with a viscosity no greater than that
of water. The test fluid temperature shall be
below 1 00 °F. The duration of the test shall
be set forth in Table 2.
7.2.1 .2 The manufacturer may, as a
substitute for the test specified in Section
7.2.1.1, test each valve using air/gas at a
minimum pressure of 80 psig for a duration
of not less than that set forth in Table 2. In
order to exercise this option, the
manufacturer must be able to certify that a
production sample of the valve model so
tested has been subjected to a hydrostatic
shell test of at least 2.5 times CWP with no
detrimental distortion, as evidenced by a
subsequent seat test.
7.2.1 .3 The ball shall be in such a position
during the shell test as to assure full
pressurization of the valve shell.
7.2.1 .4 When tested with a liquid, the
valve exterior shall show no visible
leakage. When tested with a gas, the valve
shall show no visible leakage when
immersed in water or coated with a leak
detection solution.
7.2.1 .5 Visually detectable leakage
through pressure boundary walls is not
acceptable. Leakage through adjustable
stem packing during testing shall not be
cause for rejection. The stem packing or
stem seals shall be capable of retaining
pressure at least equal to the rated cold
working pressure of the valve without
visible leakage.
MSS STANDARD PRACTICE
7.2.1 .6 When volumetric loss testing
devices are used the valve manufacturer
must be able to demonstrate that leakage
sensitivity of the device produces results that
are equivalent to those which are acceptable
when visual examination methods are
employed.
7.2.2 Seat Test
7.2.2.1 Following the shell test, each valve
shall be given a closure seat test. At the
manufacturer’s option, this test may be
either a hydrostatic closure test at a pressure
no less than 1 10% of the 1 00 °F seat
pressure rating or a gas closure test at a
minimum pressure of 80 psig. The duration
of the test shall be set forth in Table 2.
SP-1 45
7.2.2.6 The maximum allowable leakage
rate on each seat of metal-seated valves for
the duration of the test shall be 0.4 of a
standard cubic foot of gas per hour per inch
of nominal valve size, or a maximum of 2.44
cubic inches of hydrostatic test media per
hour per inch of nominal valve size at the
test pressure specified in Section 7.2.2.1 .
7.2.2.7 When volumetric loss testing
devices are used, the valve manufacturer
must demonstrate that leakage sensitivity of
the device produces results that are
equivalent to or better than those which are
acceptable when visual examination
methods showing no leakage are employed.
7.2.3 System Hydrostatic Tests

7.2.2.2 The test pressure shall be applied If valves conforming to this standard practice
successively on each side of the closed are subjected to hydrostatic testing of systems
valve. As an alternate method for the 80 with the valve in the closed position at a
psig minimum gas test, the pressure may pressure greater than the CWP rating, then
be applied inside the body cavity with the such testing shall be the responsibility of the
ball closed and both sides open for user.
inspection. The method of seat leakage
testing on each seat shall result in a filled
or pressurized cavity between the seats to
assure that no seat leakage can escape
detection because of gradual and
incomplete pressurization or filling of the
cavity during test duration.
7.2.2.3 Valves marked as uni-directional
valves require a closure test only in the
sealing direction.
7.2.2.4 There shall be no visible leakage,
as defined by MSS SP-61 , past the seat for
the duration of the test for valves with
resilient (polymeric or elastomeric) seats.
7.2.2.5 The maximum allowable leakage
rate on each seat of non-resilient seated
valves for the duration of the test shall be
0.2 of a standard cubic foot of gas per hour
per inch of nominal valve size, or a
maximum of 1 .22 cubic inches of
hydrostatic media per hour per inch of
nominal valve size, at the test pressure
specified in Section 7.2.2.1
