1. GENERAL
1.1 Scope
This manual covers the instructions for the Three-way Control Valves.
Model AMT Mixing Valves and Model HDT Diverting Valves.
Each control valve is comprised of two major components, namely, a valve body
and an actuator. Various combinations of valve body and actuator are available
to meet various type of uses with different valve sizes, pressure ratings, types of
connections, types of materials, and actuator sizes.
(For details of specifications, refer to Specification Sheets SS2-8113-4100.)
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.
1.4 Nameplate
A nameplate as shown in Fig. 1-3 is posted on each control valve. The nameplate
indicates the model number, valve size, pressure rating, trim material, date of
manufacture and other major specifications of the control valve. Before installing
the control valve, make sure that the specifications indicated on the nameplate
conform with the conditions of use. The nameplate indicate also the product number
(PROD.NO.) of the control valve. Please mention this number also when consulting
your Azbil Corporation agent for replacement of parts or other modification of the
control valve.
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.
Note: The tightening torques mentioned in the above are only to give you reference
values. Note that tightening torques may vary depending on the type of
packing.
(4) If the valve is provided with a lubricator as shown in Fig. 2-2, check whether
the bonnet section has been lubricated or not. To do this, loosen the lubricator
handwheel and turn the squeeze screw. If the squeeze screw turn lightly, and
grease in the lubricating procedure mentioned below. (If the squeeze screw turns
heavily, this means that grease has been applied.)
Lubricating Procedure
(a) prepare grease of the type indicated on the nameplate.
(b) Tightly close the lubricator handwheel.
(c) Remove the squeeze screw, apply grease, and set the squeeze screw.
(d) Loosen the lubricator handwheel and drive grease by turning the squeeze screw.
(e) Repeat the procedure of (b), (c) and (d) until turning of the squeeze screw
becomes heavier. Tightly close lubricator handwheel.
(5) When raising temperature of a valve which is used for high temperature service,
raise temperature gradually (standard rate is 100 per hour) and do not operate
the valve when its temperature is being raised.
Precautions: F
or detaching the actuator from the valve body which is kept installed
in the process pipe, be sure to shut down the process for and release the
process pressure before detaching the actuator.
To disassemble or assemble the valve body, refer to Fig. 4-1 through 4-4 and
proceed as described below.
Disassembly Procedure
• AMT (Mixing) Type (Refer to Fig.4-1, 4-2, 4-3)
(1) Apply an air pressure to the diaphragm so that the pointer indicates slightly
below the position AB-B for direct acting actuator provided or indicates slightly
above the position AB-A for reverse acting actuator and hold it in either case so
that the valve plug does not touch the seat ring.
(2) Remove the stem connector to separate the actuator stem from the valve stem.
(3) Release an air pressure from the diaphragm and disconnect the air piping.
(4) Remove the yoke nut by turning it with a chisel and detach (pull up) the actuator
from the valve body.
(5) Remove the tail piece from the valve body by loosening the bottom nuts on the
body.
(6) Pull down the seating guide from the valve body. However, for 1” valve,
unscrew and remove the seat ring from the tail piece as required.
(7) Loosen the gland packing flange nuts and remove the valve plug from the
bottom of the valve body.
(8) Remove the bonnet assembling nuts and pull out the bonnet.
(9) To remove the seat ring, use the “special tool* for mounting and removing the
seat ring.”
*: Separately ordered.
Inspection
Inspect the disassembled parts for damage. If any damage is found, replace the parts.
(When ordering parts, mention also the Prod. No. of the valve which is indicated on
the nameplate.)
(1) Do not re-use the removed gland packing. Use fresh packing when assembling
the valve. (When assembling, a vacuum service valve, pay special attention to
the packing assembly method.)
(2) Check that the seating surfaces of plug, seat ring and cage are not damaged.
(3) Check that the gasket-contacting surfaces of valve body, bonnet and guide ring
cage are not damaged. Do not re-use the removed gasket. Use fresh gasket when
assembling the valve.
(4) Check that the plug guide section, the stem, and the guiding sections of guide
bushing, seat ring and seating guide are not damaged.
Assembly Procedure
• AMT (Diverting) Type (Refer to Figs. 4-1, 4-2, 4-3)
To assemble the valve, follow the disassembly procedure in the reverse order.
(1) To mount the seat ring, use the “special tool for mounting and removing the seat
ring.” (The tool is optional.)
For the tightening torques, see Table 4-1.
(2) Insert the valve plug (with valve stem mounted) from the tail piece side.
(3) Mount the seating guide and two gasket (one for 1” valve). (For 1” valve, seat
ring should be inserted in the tail piece in advance.)
(4) Mount the guide ring and two gaskets (since 1” valve has the guide mounted in
the bonnet and 1 1/2” and 2” valve in the valve body, only one gasket is used)
from the top of the valve body and install the bonnet.
For assembling the tail piece and the bonnet with nuts, first tighten all nuts
lightly with a and further, gradually tighten them with a wrench evenly not to
cause uneven tightness.
(5) Insert the gland packing into the gland. (See Fig. 2-1.)
Note: When installing yarn packings, stack them sheet by sheet with the cut
sections of the mutally adjoining sheets making up the right angle (90
degrees).
(6) Install the packing follower and packing flange, and tighten the nut. For the
tightening torque, see Table 2-2.
Fig. 4-5
When disassembling or assembling the actuator, keep it in the vertical attitude. For
the tightening torques of bolts and nuts, see Tables 4-5.
For the names of the parts, see Figs.4-11 and 4-19.
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.

Assembly
Before assembly, check the parts for scratches, damage, deformation, peeling paint
or any other abnormalities. To assemble the actuator, proceed as follows:
A. Direct action models
(1) Secure the diaphragm case (bottom) with the four bolts to the yoke. At the same
time, set the air vent hole as in Fig. 4-8. For PSA1D actuator, secure the spring
plate to the diaphragm case and yoke.
(2) Fasten the spring place and install the springs onto the spring plate (see Fig. 4-8).
(3) Insert the actuator rod (with diaphragm connected) into the bushing. Be careful to
prevent the bushing's inside surface or dust seal form being damaged by the threaded
section of the rod. If possible, cover the threaded section with adhesive tape.
(4) Rotate the actuator rod, locating the diaphragm plate stopper as shown in Fig.4-8.
(5) Place the top diaphragm case and secure it with the pair of eyebolts.
Note: Set the air pipe connection port to the location shown in Fig. 4-8. Tighten
the pair of eyebolts uniformly and alternately. The initial setting of the
springs is completed by tightening these eyebolts.
(6) Clamp the diaphragm case with clamping bolts.
(7) Install the stem connector. Connect the air pipe to its connection port at the top
diaphragm case.
(8) After completing assembly, check the following:
• Apply air pressure of 490 kPa {5 kgf/cm2} through the air pipe connection port
at the top diaphragm case, and check the diaphragm periphery for air leakage
with soapy water.
• Check that the actuator operates smoothly through to its full stroke by
operating it as an independent unit.

Assembly Procedure
Before assembly, check the parts for scrapes, damage, deformation, peeling off of
paint, and other abnormality. To assemble the actuator, proceed as followes:
(a) Direct Action Type
(1) Fix the bottom diaphragm case and yoke with the bolts. (For models HA2D
and HA3D, install the diaphragm case and spring plate together.)
(2) Install the springs on the spring plate. The quantities of springs are as
follwes;
HA2.....................4 springs
HA3, HA4............8 springs
Except particular models as follows:
HA2, 38 mm stroke,
80 - 240 kPa (0.8 - 2.4 kgf/cm2)........ Total 8 springs (with double springs)
HA3, 50 mm stroke,
80 - 240 kpa (0.8 - 2.4 kgycm2)......... Total 16 springs (with double springs)
HA4, 75 mm stroke,
80 - 240 kPa (0.8 - 2.4 kgf/cm2)........ Total l6 springs (with double springs)
(3) Insert the actuator rod (to which the diaphragm is connected) into the
bushing, exercising are not to damage the bushing inside surface or dust
seal with the threaded section of the rod. (For example, cover the threaded
section with adhesive tape to prevent damaging the hushing.) Set the stopper
in parallel with the yoke.
(4) Place the top diaphragm case and fix it with the pair of eyebolts.
Notes: • Set the air piping connection port in the location shown in the
illustration. (Fig. 4-16)
• Tighten the pair of eyebolts uniformly by tightening them
alternately. The initial setting of the springs is complete by
tightening of these eyebolts.
(5) Clamp the diaphragm case with other clamping-bolts than the pair of eyebolts.
(6) Install the pointer, secure the lock nut, and install the stem connector. (Connect
the air pipe to the air piping connection port of the top diaphragm case.)
(7) After the assembly is complete as above, check the following.
1. Applying an air pressure of 490 kPa (5kgf/cm2) via the air piping
connection port of the top diaphragm case, check the diaphragm periphery
for air leak by using soapsuds.
2. Check that the actuator smoothly operates for its full stroke.
Note: Check this operation by operating the actuator as an independent unit.
(6) Clamp the diaphragm case with other clamping-bolts than the pair of
eyebolts.
(7) Install the pointer, secure the lock nut, and install the stem connector.
(8) Install the rain cap on the air vent port.
(9) Connect the air pipe to the air piping connection port of the bottom
diaphragm case.
(10) After the assembly is complete as above, check the following.
1. Applying an air pressure of 490kPa (5kgf/cm2) via the air Piping
connection port of the bottom diaphragm case, check the diaphragm
periphery for air leak by using soapsuds.
2. Check that the actuator smoothly operates for its full stroke.
Note: Check this operation by operating the actuator as an independent unit.
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.

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.

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.
CAUTION
When hexnut for MIN. stopper is tightened or loosened, apply wrenches on top and
bottom of the nut so that no excessive torque is applied to stopper shaft 4.
