McCANNA/MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves

Introduction

Chlorine is extremely hazardous. It is highly reactive and toxic, causing

skin burns on contact with the liquid, or respiratory irritations by breathing
the gas. The gas has an irritating odor that many people can detect with
as little as 3.5 parts per million (PPM) chlorine present. Breathing air
containing 1000 PPM (or more) chlorine can be fatal.

Chlorine also has a very high expansion rate; one liter of liquid chlorine
will vaporize to about 460 liters of gas. The graph shows the rapid
increase in vapor pressure as temperature goes up. This means chlorine
trapped in piping between two closed valves, or in the body cavity of a
closed valve, can cause destructive pressures, unless the design includes
features to prevent it.

Valves used in chlorine services must be safe, and reliable. There can be
no external leakage permitted which could create a health hazard or
unsafe working conditions, and valves must positively prevent the dangers
of over-pressurization. McCANNA/MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves
are designed to meet these challenges, and rigorously tested to prove it.
Your pipefitters and maintenance personnel can “work behind” McCANNA/
MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves without worrying about them.

VAPOR PRESSURE OF CHLORINE Terminology

600 Chlorine terms can be confusing; is it liquid or gas; wet or dry? Liquid or
gas refer to the physical state of chlorine; wet or dry refer to the moisture
500 content of either the liquid or the gas. Dry chlorine is either liquid or
gaseous chlorine containing less than 150 parts PPM water, by weight.
Vapor Pressure - psig

400 Over 150 PPM is wet chlorine, liquid or gas.

McCANNA/MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves are primarily intended

300
for use on dry chlorine. Wet chlorine and hydrogen chloride as
hydrochlorus or hydrochloric acid require special consideration due to
200
their corrosiveness. Consult Flowserve on all wet chlorine applications.

Features and Benefits

1. Positive body cavity venting prevents trapping chlorine in body cavity.

2. Conical-shaped TFE and RTFE packing rings completely fill the packing 6
cavity to provide tight sealing at low compressive force.

3. Dual packing sets maximize seal integrity and eliminate problems
commonly associated with multiple top-loaded designs. Greater
distance between stem support points and tighter tolerances reduce 3

5. Blowout-proof internal entry stem to ensure maximum

integrity.

6. Integral actuator mounting pad allows easy automation. 1

7. Encapsulated body seals eliminate cold flow of TFE seals,

preventing external leakage.

8. Flow direction is permanently indicated for safe installation. 8

Body Cavity Relief — An Explanation

Ball valves sealing tightly on both seats can trap chlorine in the body cavity Chlorine systems are notoriously dirty, which can affect the self-relieving
when closed. Dangerous pressures can build if temperature rises, unless seat function. Also, these seats will always relieve towards the higher

recommends two ways to do this: towards the side with the “weaker” seat. This is unpredictable, and may
result in a chlorine release.
1. Self-relieving seats – The downstream seat seals, and the upstream
(high pressure side) seat flexes or moves to relieve excess pressure. All McCANNA/MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves are provided with
upstream venting. These valves will always relieve to the upstream side,

Sizing Brochure.”

Sizing Torques for Actuator Selection

The torque values shown in the following table are maximum values Torque values are for clean liquid service. For dry chlorine gas,
for valves in 150 and 300 class chlorine systems. The torque values multiply by 1.25. For special sizing, and Flowserve actuator

Important Considerations
Chlorine Valve Preparation

Valves for dry chlorine systems must be thoroughly cleaned before use,
as dry chlorine reacts violently with normal shop oils, cutting fluids, and
hydrocarbons. McCANNA/MARPAC employs strict procedures for
cleaning, assembly, testing, and packaging of Chlorine Service Valves to
ensure safe operation when installed. McCANNA/MARPAC procedures
for preparation of Chlorine Service Valves are available for review, on
request.

Special Applications

McCANNA/MARPAC Chlorine Service Ball Valves are intended for use in

dry chlorine systems. Piping systems handling other chlorine
compounds, such as dry hydrogen chloride, are also suitable
applications. For wet chlorine, or other chlorine compounds, corrosion
resistance becomes a primary concern, and materials selection is critical.

For example, wet chlorine and hydrogen chloride are extremely

corrosive. Concentrations, temperature, aeration, and presence of other When applications vary from dry chlorine, great care must be taken in
chemicals all affect material selection. In this case Hastelloy C-276 has selection of materials. McCANNA/MARPAC will recommend materials, and
been found suitable for wet chlorine, while Hastelloy B is the most will manufacture valves of special materials for specific applications on
resistant nickel alloy in wet hydrogen chloride. request.
