The HY Hydraulic Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on a reverse-acting gate valve, designed to be
“fail-safe and fail-close.” Recommended for use in high-pressure and/or large-bore applications, this hydraulically controlled actuator
operates using a closed hydraulic system completely independent of well fluids and pressure; the hydraulic pressure on the piston
holding the valve open. An integral part of a safe wellhead system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and open
automatically when the control pressure is restored. As an added safety feature, in the event of a fire, the metal-to-metal seal between
bonnet and lower stem acts as a secondary seal if the stem packing is damaged. They are used as secondary master valves and/or wing
valves of trees, flow lines, header valves, and gathering lines and pipelines.
Features like a heavy-duty coated spring package are designed to accomodate closing force at low or zero pressure, with back-seat
sealing capability. In addition, the quick-disconnect and spring box design reduces time required during maintenance operations, in
particular when paired with the lifting eye to facilitate removing the actuator when mounted horizontally. The control line port can
be rotated 360 degrees for easy alignment of the power-source control line. HY Hydraulic Actuators are designed to accept FMC’s full
range of accessories; i.e., stem protectors, fusible lockout caps, and so on. To further improve operation, the HY Hydraulic Actuator
contains a Nipoloy coating (electrolysis nickel) on the hydraulic cylinder and piston for corrosion resistance; and a back-seat/ packing
leak detection port to gauge wearability.
