    LABORATORY REPORT
    Attn: Terry Wilt Report No.: B16070806
    Element Materials Technology - Houston Date Received: 07/26/2016
    14805 Yorktown Plaza Drive Date Reported: 9/27/2016
    Houston, TX 77040 P.O. No.: EHO025080PO-1

    Sample Description: (1) 12” Triple Offset Valve, DWG# 758822-TE-001

    Strength Test for Shaft-to-Closure Element Connections

    Background and Procedure

    Element – Houston, on behalf of L&T Valve, submitted (1) 12” 150 Class Triple Offset Butterfly Valve,
    Drawing Number 758822-TE-001, for torque testing per API RP 591, Annex B, Paragraph B.2 and
    Figure B.1.

    The Valve had its gearbox and hand-wheel removed, and was bolted to a large steel holding fixture.
    A custom drive nut was made to apply torque direct to the valve stem using a torque wrench and
    torque multiplier. The torque multiplier increases the applied torque by a factor of 18.5. A strain gauge
    was applied to the stem of the valve, with the strain measurement being circumferential to the shaft
    and orthogonal to the axis of rotation. Torque was applied and released in increasing amounts until
    permanent deflection was observed through strain gauge output. Calibrated equipment used for
    testing is presented in Table 1. The valve, as instrumented and setup for testing is presented in
    Figure 1.

    Results

    At 3000 ft-lb1 the strain gauge indicator reported permanent deformation in the valve stem. No
    visually observable deformation or damage occurred to the valve or its components during testing.
    The theoretical failure load reported by the manufacturer is 2067 ft-lb.

    1 – Rounded to nearest 100 ft-lb.

    Note: The sample remains will be discarded 90 days after the date of this report, unless otherwise instructed.
