L&T Valves has the distinction of having obtained
a number of national and international approvals.
notable among these are :

L&T Valves Cast Steel Gate, Globe and Check Valves are offered in a variety of body and bonnet materials to
suit different requirements. These materials include Carbon Steel (standard), Alloy Steels and Stainless Steels.
For other materials of construction, refer to L&T Valves.
Other materials such as ASTm A351 Gr. CF3, ASTm A351 Gr. CF3m and Duplex SS are also offered.

Back Seat
In L&T gate and globe valves, a precisionmachined back-seat bush is threaded in the
bonnet and is secured by a tab-weld.

tab weld
Flexible wedge
L&T gate valves feature a one-piece
cast flexible wedge that minimises
stress concentration. Wedge flexibility
ensures tight seating over a wide range of
differential pressures and temperatures.
It also adjusts to slight misalignments
caused by pipeline deflections and thermal
deformation. The stem-to-wedge thrust is
applied close to the wedge centre. This
reduces lateral stem loading and provides
for more accurate wedge movement.
Seat ring
Stuffing Box
L&T gate valves and check valves feature a seal-welded seat ring that
offers a leakproof design as it eliminates the leakage path between the
seat ring and the body. This design is superior to threaded seats which
can loosen up due to temperature fluctuations, corrosion or vibration
and result in leakage. Threaded seat rings are optional. For 50mm gate
valves, the seat ring is flared into the body, while seal welding is optional.
L&T globe valves feature a shoulder type, threaded body seat ring which
has a wide taper area that provides for ample seating. Slots on the seat
ring allow easy in-situ removal for servicing. Threaded seat rings are
additionally secured by a tab-weld. Welded seat rings are also availble
in L&T Globe Valves.
Stem
In gate valves, the heavy forged T-head engages with the T-slot
in the wedge. The stem also has an integral self-adjusting radial
back-seat shoulder that matches with the back-seat bush in the
bonnet.
In globe valves, the stem is held to the disc by a stem nut that
permits the disc to swivel. This free-floating design ensures
uniform seating.

The ASME B16.34 family of L&T Gate, Y-Globe and Swing Check
Valves features a pressure seal bonnet design for high pressure
services. These valves are extensively used in high pressure and
high temperature steam, oil, gas, chemical and water applications
in thermal power plants, fertiliser plants, petrochemical plants and
refineries. The valves are available with butt-weld ends in pressure
ratings of Classes 900, 1500 and 2500, and come in carbon steel
and alloy steel construction.
Gate valves also meet the requirements of API 600 Style A.
Gate ValVes
Parallel Slide disc Mechanism
This mechanism consists of two independent discs
held by a disc carrier. An alloy steel spring between
the discs provides the initial loading to keep the discs
pressed against the body seats. The disc faces are
parallel to each other and seal on parallel seat rings
in the body. Sealing takes place by utilizing the line
pressure to provide tight seal on the downstream
seat. As the two discs are independent and parallel,
opening / closing torques are significantly lower than
comparable wedge disc designs, thereby minimizing
the possibility of jamming at high temperatures or
pressures.
When the valve is operated, the discs are allowed to
slide and rotate over the body seats. This helps wipe
out foreign particles from the seat faces.

Accessories
L&T Valves can be supplied with accessories such
as bypass arrangement, drain plugs, live-loading
and mountings like extension spindles, floor stands
and chain wheel. The valves can also be supplied
with gear units and electrical actuators.
Swing-type disc
The disc is of swing-type design and is opened by line
velocity and the resultant pressure. When the flow
stops, the disc is closed by gravity. Seating load and the
resultant tightness are dependent on the back pressure.
As the disc is internally hinged, there is no opening
in the body of the valve. This ensures high integrity.
Installation
L&T Swing Check Valves are used to prevent the
reversal of flow in vertical, horizontal or inclined
pipelines. These valves are to be used only for
upward or horizontal flow. Pulsating flows, as
obtained at the outlet of a reciprocating pump,
would cause disc chatter and hence ought to be
avoided.
y-GloBe ValVes
End Connection
L&T Valves with butt-weld ends comply with AnSI
B16.25 Fig. 2a or 3a, as applicable. For AnSI pipes,
pipe schedule ought to be specified. For non-ANSI
pipes, OD (or ID) and wall thickness ought to be
furnished for end preparation.

Gear oPerators
ChaIN wheels
L&T gate and globe valves are supplied with fully-enclosed bevel gear operators as
a standard for sizes and class ratings as shown in the table below. Gear operators
are available as an option in other sizes too.
Chain wheels are used for the valves located too far
above the floor for convenient handwheel operation.
Chain wheels are available for all types of L&T Cast
Steel Valves and can be substituted in place of or used
along with the existing handwheel. L&T chain wheels
are equipped with guards or guides, not only to keep
the chain from slipping off the wheel but also to hold
the chain in close contact with a large portion of the
circumference of the handwheel or the gear wheel.

Electrical Actuators may be used
with L&T valves in all sizes and
class ratings. The actuators can be
operated in practically any position
or location, and have a provision
for manual operation. The
actuators come in weatherproof
enclosure as a standard, and in
explosion-proof and such other
special enclosures too. For correct
selection of actuator, please
specify details of line pressure,
differential pressure when closed,
power supply requirements and
actuator accessories.
laNterN rING
As mentioned earlier in page 7, a lantern ring is used
to provide further integrity to the gland packing area in
gate and globe valves, to prevent escape of service fluid
to the atmosphere. This finds application in stringent
environmental conditions or in the case of potentially
harmful service fluids.
The lantern ring is provided between two sets of
packing rings, with a leakoff plug that gives the option of
removal of leakage, if any, from the lower packing rings.
Alternatively, a sealing fluid can be introduced through
the plug to prevent incidental leakage through the lower
packing rings.
Lantern rings serve a useful purpose. But, since they
are a possible source of shaft scoring, it is advisable to
restrict their usage to essential applications.
ByPass arraNGeMeNt
PosItIoN INdICators
As an option, almost all L&T valves can be furnished with bypass arrangement.
The bypass consists of a single Outside Screw & Yoke globe valve with a pressure/
temperature rating and corrosion resistance equal to or exceeding that of the main
valve.

loCkING deVICes
The bypass valve is attached to the side of the main valve with the stems of both
the valves in parallel and pointing upward.
Where service conditions warrant larger-than-standard bypasses, it is recommended
that the installation of the bypasses be around the main valve.
