INSTALLATION AND SETTING INSTRUCTIONS
DM920 DOUBLE REGULATING VALVE (DRV)
Pressure/temperature rating: End connections: Pressure test valves: (DM930 & DA930 only) Optional Extra: Flow direction: Jointing Gaskets:
DM930 & DA930 VARIABLE ORIFICE DOUBLE REGULATING VALVE (FODRV)
DA930 13.8 bar at -10 to 65C 12.1 bar at 120C Flanges to ASME B16.1 Class 125
DM920/DM930 16 bar at -10 to 120C (DM930) 13.4 bar at 180C (DM920) Flanges to BS EN 1092-2 1997, PN16 Crane P84 insertion style test points.
Crane P82 accepts Mechseal manometer adaptor for high temperatures up to 180C at 13.4 bar maximum pressure An arrow is cast on the side of the valve body to indicate direction of flow. The DM920/DM930 requires two flange jointing gaskets. It is recommended that IBC (inside bolt circle) gaskets to BS EN 1514-1 1997 are used. The DA930 requires two flange jointing gaskets to ASME B16.21.
FITTING PRESSURE TEST VALVES
It is recommended that the pressure test valves are fitted to the valve on the side with the flow direction arrow and ID tag. They can be fitted on the opposite side if space is limited, without any reduction in performance. The body tapping nearest the inlet end of the valve should be fitted with a pressure test valve having a Red Colour tie. The body tapping nearest the outlet end of the valve shall be fitted with a pressure test valve having a Blue Colour tie. This coincides with test equipment settings. It is recommended that a thread sealant is used during assembly. WARNING: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
INSTALLATION
DM920 - The valve should be installed in a run of pipe of the same nominal size, with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow.
DM930 & DA930 - The valve must be installed in a straight run of pipe of the same nominal size, with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow. The minimum requirements of the Installation Layout must be observed (see below).
For both valve types care should be taken during installation to ensure that gaskets are centrally located by the flange bolts. The inside diameter of the gaskets must not protrude into the pipe bore.
INSTALLATION LAYOUT (DM930 & DA930 ONLY)
N.B. To ensure flow measurement accuracy it is essential that the piping on the inlet and outlet sides is straight and has a minimum length equivalent to 5 diameters at inlet and 2 diameters at outlet as shown.
If the DM930 or DA930 is located on the outlet from a pump, then it is essential that the straight pipe length between pump outlet and valve inlet is a minimum of 10 diameters.
VALVE SETTING INDICATOR
DM920, DM930 and DA930 valves operate from closed to fully open with the following number of turns: Valve Size No. of mm Turns 65 to 150 8 200 and 250 12 300 16
Micrometer handwheel
Handwheel Type Micrometer Micrometer Micrometer
The Micrometer type handwheel uses two scales - black sleeve within the handwheel has 8, 12 or 16 numbered rings, and a scale (numbered 0 to 9) around the lower edge of the handwheel. As the valve is opened from the fully closed position, each turn of the handwheel reveals one ring on the black sleeve. Each numbered division on the handwheel base represents 1/10th of a turn. The fully open position is reached when all eight, twelve or sixteen rings are visible and the handwheel scale is at 0 position. A total of 80 settings is available on valve sizes 65mm to 150mm, 120 settings on valve sizes 200mm and 250mm, and 160 settings on the 300mm size. The example shows a valve setting of 6.6 turns.
REGULATION (DM920)
Flow regulation is achieved by adjusting the valve setting until the required flowrate is obtained. The Micrometer type handwheel will indicate the final valve setting.
REGULATION & FLOW MEASUREMENT (DM930 & DA930)
Flow regulation is achieved by adjusting the valve setting until the required flowrate, as derived from the signal measured across the pressure test valves, is obtained. The Microset or Micrometer type handwheel will indicate the final valve setting. (Flow charts are available on request for all valve sizes).
GLAND PACKING ADJUSTMENT
In the event of leakage from either the inner stem gland or the outer gland the following procedure should be adopted.
INNER STEM GLAND
Sizes DN65 DN300 Remove the handwheel retaining screw using the Allen Key. Using the gland-adjusting key, locate the lugs on the key into the slots in the inner stem gland and turn key clockwise until leakage stops. Remove the key and replace the handwheel retaining screw.
OUTER GLAND
Sizes DN65 - DN150 Remove the handwheel retaining screw using the Allen Key. Remove the handwheel noting its position and taking care not to disturb the indicator sleeve setting. Using a spanner, tighten the gland nut only enough to prevent leakage. Replace the handwheel in the same position as when removed and replace handwheel-retaining screw checking handwheel setting. Sizes DN200 DN300 The outer gland can be tightened without removing the handwheel. Tighten the gland nuts down evenly and tighten only enough to stop leakage. Note: Allen Keys and Inner Gland Adjusting Keys are supplied with valve
SETTING FACILITY
The valve setting at which the required flowrate is achieved may be retained as follows:1. With Allen key(s) supplied, unscrew and remove the brass screw in the centre of the handwheel. Leave handwheel in place. 2. Insert appropriate Allen key and carefully engage inner valve stem. Screw down the internal valve stem until it stops. Do not over tighten. 3. Replace handwheel screw and tighten. The valve is now set and may be closed and re-opened to the set point. Note: The Allen key(s) required for setting valves are as follows:Valve Size (mm) Handwheel Screw Inner Stem 20 to 50 3mm 3mm 65 to 150 5mm 200 to 300 8mm or 24mm socket
3mm 5mm (Long Type)
VALVE ISOLATION
The Micrometer type handwheel, as fitted to valves in the size range 65 to 300mm, has an integral square on top to accept a spanner to assist closing and opening against high torques. Tight valve shut-off at higher working pressures may require torques exceeding those applied by normal handwheel operation. The following table is a guide to handwheel torques to achieve tight shutoff.
