1.3 Structures

The structures of typical CV3000 Series control valves are shown is Fig. 1-1 and 1-2.
The valve body is connected to the bonnet with stud bolts and nuts. Gaskets are
provided at the connection section to seal against the internal fluid or to let the valve
body make up a pressure vessel. The valve plug is supported by the guide ring and
cage, and driven by the actuator. The actuator has multiple springs and a diaphragm,
and converts the pneumatic control signal into a mechanical (positional) control
signal with which to position the valve plug.
In the illustrations, for mixing service, the left and bottom ports are inlets and the
right port is outlet. For diverting service, the right port is inlet.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Maximum Lifting Loads of Eyebolts

The diaphragm case has a pair of lifting eyebolts. These eyebolts primarily are for
lifting the actuator alone. When using the eyebolts for other purposes (such as lifting
an actuator bed to its valve body or other components), note that the allowable
maximum lifting loads of the eyebolts are as shown in the following table.
Table 2-1 Maximum Lifting Loads of Eyebolts
Allowable Maximum Weight of
Actuator Model No. Lifting Load of Eyebolts Actuator Alone
PSA1 160kg 8kg
HA2 160kg 16kg
HA3 160kg 32kg
HA4 220kg 68kg

Note: The eyebolts may be used to lift the actuator together with its valve buy
(cast globe valve) of up to pressure rating “Class 600”. When doing this, be
extremely careful so that no shock or other abnormal force is applied to the
actuator or the valve body.

2.2 Installing Valve in Process Pipe


(1) Before installing the valve in the process pipe, remove foreign matter (such
as scales and welding chips) from both upstream and downstream sides of the
process pipe.
(2) Confirm that the direction of process fluid flow conforms with that of the
arrowhead mark provided on the valve body.
(3) Pay attention so that the pipe connection gaskets do not extrude into the process
pipe inside. Be sure to use gaskets made of material which is suitable for the
process fluid. The welding type of valve employ no gaskets.
(4) Pay attention so that no excessively large stress is conveyed from the process
pipe to the valve body. Uniformly tighten the bolts of the process pipe
connection flange. The high pressure type of valves have no flanges, since they
are connected to the process by welding.
(5) Before connecting the air pipes to the actuator and positioner, blow the pipes to
clean them.
(6) Do not install any heating or cooling provisions on the bonnet.

Notes for Disassembly


1. The nuts for the eyebolts are made of stainless steel. Discriminate these nuts
from other nuts when assembling the diaphragm case.
2. It is recommendable to make locating marks on the top and bottom diaphragm
cases before disassembly. This will help you to find easily the air piping
connector location.
3. Store the removed parts in a clean place.

Caution: Never loosen or remove carelessly the bolts and nuts of the actuator.
The actuator employs powerful compressed springs and if you
remove the bolts and nuts carelessly, the springs may leap out causing
hazards. When removing the bolts and nuts, be sure to observe the
instructions given for disassembly and assembly procedures of the
actuator and top handwheel.

5. ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION


Normally, the diaphragm-type control valve requires no adjustment or calibration.
When it is serviced for overhaul or parts replacement, however, it should be adjusted
and calibrated as described in this section.

AMT Type (Mixing Type)


(a) Lift Adjustment
• For Valve with Direct-action Actuator
Keeping the stem connector disconnected, make air piping to apply an air pressure
to the diaphragm. Apply an air pressure to the actuator so that the actuator stem
(pointer) is pressed downward by 2mm and, in this state, set the open reference point
of the scale to the pointer. Next, increase the air pressure until the pointer indicates
the AB-A point of the scale. On the other hand, press down the valve stem until the
valve plug is seated on the lower seat ring. Now connect the actuator stem to the
valve stem with the stem connector.

By adjusting the air pressure applied to the diaphragm, check that the lift (stroke) of
the valve is normal.

Next, with the valve position at a midposition of the stroke, slightly loosen the screw
of the stem connector so that it can be rotated with your hand. By adjusting the air
pressure, let the valve plug seated on the upper and lower seat rings. The seated
state can be known as the stem cannot be rotated with your hand when in this state.
If the stem connector can be rotated with your hand, this means that the valve plug is
not seated on the seat. If this is the case, repeat the adjustment all over again.

• For Valve with Reverse-action Actuator


Keeping the stem connector disconnected, make air piping to apply an air pressure
to the diaphragm. Apply an air pressure to the actuator so that the actuator stem
(pointer) is pressed downward by 2mm and, in this state, set the open reference point
of the scale to the pointer. Next, increase the air pressure until the pointer indicates
the AB-A point of the scale. On the other hand, press down the valve stem until the
valve plug is seated on the lower seat ring. Now connect the actuator stem to the
valve stem with the stem connector.

By adjusting the air pressure applied to the diaphragm, check that the lift (stroke) of
the valve is normal.

Next, with the valve position at a midposition of the stroke, slightly loosen the screw
of the stem connector so that it can be rotated with your hand. By adjusting the air
pressure, let the valve plug seated on the upper and lower seat rings. The seated
state can be known as the stem connector cannot be rotated with your hand when in
this state. If the stem connector can be rotated with your hand, this means that the
valve plug is not seated on the seat. If this is the case, repeat the adjustment all over
again.

HDT Type (Diverting Type)


(a) Lift Adjustment
• For Valve with Direct-action Actuator
Keeping the stem connector disconnected, make air piping to apply an air pressure
to the diaphragm. Apply an air pressure to the actuator so that the actuator stem
(pointer) is pressed down by 2mm and, in this state, set the AB-A point of the scale
to the pointer. Next, increase the air pressure until the pointer indicates the AB-B
point on the scale. On the other hand, press down the valve stem until the valve plug
is seated on the upper seat ring. Now connect the actuator stem to the valve stem
with the stem connector.

By adjusting the air pressure applied to the diaphragm, check that the lift (stroke) is
normal.

Next, with the valve position at a midposition of the stroke, slightly loosen the screw
of the stem connector so that it can be rotated with your hand. By adjusting the air
pressure, let the valve plug seated on the upper and lower seat rings. The seated
state can be known as the stem cannot be rotated with your hand when in this state.
If the stem connector can be rotated with your hand, this means that the valve plug is
not seated on the seat. If this is the case, repeat the adjustment all over again.

• For Valve with Reverse-action Actuator


Keeping the stem connector disconnected, make air piping to apply an air pressure
to the diaphragm. Apply an air pressure to the actuator so that the actuator stem
(pointer) is pressed down by 2mm and, in this state, set the AB-B point of the scale
to the pointer. On the other hand, press down the valve stem until the valve plug is
seated on the upper seat ring. Now connect the actuator stem to the valve stem with
the stem connector.

By adjusting the air pressure applied to the diaphragm, check that the lift (stroke) is
normal.

Next, with the valve position at a midposition of the stroke, slightly loosen the screw
of the stem connector so that it can be rotated with your hand. By adjusting the air
pressure, let the valve plug seated on the upper and lower seat rings. The seated
state can be known as the stem cannot be rotated with your hand when in this state.
If the stem connector can be rotated with your hand, this means that the valve plug is
not seated on the seat. If this is the case, repeat the adjustment all over again.

6. DIRECT/REVERSE ACTION TYPE CONVERSION AND


SPRING RANGE CHANGE OF ACTUATOR
6.1 Direct/Reverse Action Change

As a general rule it is most recommendable to prepare separately the direct type and
reverse type of actuators and not to convert actuators into different types. However,
when it has become unavoidable to convert actuators into other types, conversions
may be done by using the parts mentioned below (Table 6-1 and Table 6-2). The
parts marked “+” are the ones which are newly needed and those marked “-” are
ones which are not used.

6.2 Stroke And Range Spring Change

As a general rule it is most recommendable to prepare separate actuators for diffent


strokes and spring ranges to avoid modifications. However, modifications can be
done by using the parts mentioned below.
Of Models HA2 and HA3, there are two different diameters of bonnet connection
sections. For these models, note the following:
Of Model HA, modification for change between read stroke of 14.3 or 25mm and
that of 38mm cannot be done.
Of Model HA3, modification for change between rated stroke of 25 or 38mm and
that of 50mm cannot be done.

9. Mechanical stopper
Refer to “Fig.9-1” on page 52 for details of construction. This device can be used
as MIN. stopper or MAX. stopper as required. Also, it can be used as MIN/MAX
stopper.
The MIN. stopper (limits valve’s minimum opening for direct acting valve) regulates
the maximum suction of stopper shaft, and the MAX stopper (limits valve’s
maximum opening of valve opening for direct acting valve) regulates maximum
extrusion of stopper shaft 4.

9.1 Adjustment of MIN. stopper


(1) Loosen detent 2 and remove MAX. stopper 1 (adjust cover) from housing 5.
(2) Loosen hexnut 3 for MIN. stopper and remove from stopper shaft 4. Although
the stopper does not function in this condition, the valve can operate across the
rated range of lift.
(3) Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set the
valve at the stopper’s set position.
(4) Lock the detent at the position when it hits housing 5 while the valve is set.
(5) Assemble and lock MAX. stopper and detent 2 at the position where they do not
hit the maximum protruding position of stopper shaft 4.

9.2 Adjustment of MAX. stopper


(1) Loosen detent 2 and remove MAX. stopper 1 (adjust cover) from housing 5.
(2) Loosen hexnut 3 for MIN. stopper and remove from stopper shaft 4. Although
the stopper does not function in this condition, the valve can operate across the
rated range of lift.
(3) Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set the
valve at fully open position.
(4) Screw on hex head nut for MIN. stopper 3 onto stopper shaft 4. The hexnut for
MIN. stopper 3 should be locked at the top end of the stopper shaft 4 to make
the distance between the lower face of the hexnut 3 and housing 5 larger than the
rated lift.
(5) Manipulate positioner signal, supply air pressure or manual handle to set hte
valve at the stopper’s set position.
(6) Screw MAX. stopper 1 onto housing 5, and when MAX. stopper 1 seats against
hexnut for MIN. stopper 3 or stopper shaft 4, lock MAX. stopper 1 with detent 2.

4. Precautions against long-term use
Use of Azbil Corporation’s products, including switches, which contain electronic components, over a prolonged period may degrade
insulation or increase contact-resistance and may result in heat generation or any other similar problem causing such product or switch
to develop safety hazards such as smoking, ignition, and electrification. Although acceleration of the above situation varies depending
on the conditions or environment of use of the products, you are required not to use any Azbil Corporation’s products for a period
exceeding ten (10) years unless otherwise stated in specifications or instruction manuals.
5. Recommendation for renewal
Mechanical components, such as relays and switches, used for Azbil Corporation’s products will reach the end of their life due to wear by
repetitious open/close operations.
In addition, electronic components such as electrolytic capacitors will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration based on
the conditions or environment in which such electronic components are used. Although acceleration of the above situation varies
depending on the conditions or environment of use, the number of open/close operations of relays, etc. as prescribed in specifications
or instruction manuals, or depending on the design margin of your machine or equipment, you are required to renew any Azbil
Corporation’s products every 5 to 10 years unless otherwise specified in specifications or instruction manuals. System products, field
instruments (sensors such as pressure/flow/level sensors, regulating valves, etc.) will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration
of parts. For those parts that will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration, recommended replacement cycles are prescribed.
You are required to replace parts based on such recommended replacement cycles.
6. Other precautions
Prior to your use of Azbil Corporation’s products, you are required to understand and comply with specifications (e.g., conditions and
