7. OPERATING REQUIREMENTS:
Service Temperature:

Liners:
PP	= 0°F (-18°C)	to 225°F (107°C)
PVDF	= 0°F (-18°C)	to 275°F (135°C)
PVDF/HFP	= 20°F (-29°C)	to 275°F (135°C)
PFA	= 0°F (-18°C)	to 300°F (149°C)
Gaskets:
EPDM	= 300°F (149°C)
Viton®* fluoroelastomer B	= 300°F (149°C)
PTFE	= 400°F (204°C)

Note:

The maximum service temperature is determined by the lesser of (1) the maximum service temperature of the liner, and (2) the maximum service temperature of the gasket. Operating temperature limitations may be encountered depending upon specific chemical environments.

Diaphragms:
Hypalon®*	= 225°F (107°C)
Viton®* fluoroelastomer B	= 300°F (149°C)
EPDM	= 300°F (149°C)
PTFE	= 300°F (149°C) - Limited by EPDM backer

Note:

The maximum service temperature is determined by the lesser of (1) the maximum service temperature of the liner, and (2) the maximum service temperature of the gasket. Operating temperature limitations may be encountered depending upon specific chemical environments.

B.

Pressure: Pressure capabilities are dependent on operating temperatures and metallurgy.

C.

Vacuum: Check valves are not approved for vacuum service. For Diaphragm Valves, only 1" through 4" sizes with two-piece diaphragms can be used in vacuum service.

8. STORAGE AND HANDLING REQUIREMENTS:
Avoid dropping or impacting valves with heavy objects or storing near high traffic areas. Uninstalled PP, PVDF, and PFA lined valves should not be stored or handled at temperatures below 0°F (-18°C).
9. PAINT:
Paint is a two component epoxy primer, formulated on proprietary polymer technology, which provides rapid cure and overcoating even under low temperature conditions. The maximum external temperature rating is 212°F (100°C).
10. INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL:
Each lined valve passes a 15,000 volt minimum electrostatic spark test to ensure the integrity of the plastic liner. All parts pass visual inspection. All assembled valves pass shell and closure testing as follows: Shell Testing - Check Valves All 1"-8" valves are hydrostatically tested to the following pressures: Ductile iron - 375 psig Cast steel - 450 psig The duration of this test depends on the size of the valves: 1"-2" - not less than 15 seconds 2-1/2"-8" - not less than 60 seconds Criteria for acceptance: No visible leakage through pressure boundary walls. Shell Testing - Diaphragm Valves All 1"-4" valves are hydrostatically tested to 225 psig. All 6" valves are hydrostatically tested to 200 psig. All 8" valves are hydrostatically tested to 150 psig. The duration of this test depends on the size of the valve: 1"-2" - not less than 15 seconds 2-1/2"-8" - not less than 60 seconds Criteria for acceptance: No visible leakage through pressure boundary walls. Closure Testing Closure tests are performed with 80 psig air. Check valves are uni-directional and are tested in the direction of required shut-off. Diaphragm valves are bi-directional and are tested in both directions of required shut-off. The duration of this test depends on the size of the valve: 1"-2" - not less than 15 seconds 2-1/2"-8" - not less than 30 seconds Criteria for acceptance: Visual examination of a bubbler with zero visible bubbles. The sealing surface of the liner is free of defects that would impair sealing effectiveness. Wooden or plastic end protectors are used to protect the plastic faces. End protectors should stay in place until immediately prior to installation. Valves are labeled with a sticker located on the wooden end protectors which identifies the plastic liner type and the flange material. Diaphragms have tabs with raised letters to identify diaphragm material. Color coded nylon bands are affixed to valves to identify the liner type. The color codes are: PP-G = Blue PP = Orange PVDF = Black PFA = Brown Products are identified with molded date tabs on the plastic faces or are impression marked for material traceability.
