MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-135

This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 114 and the
MSS Coordinating Committee. The content of this Standard Practice is the result of the efforts of competent
and concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive specification that will benefit the
industry as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice is intended as a basis for common practice by the
manufacturer, the user, and the general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself
preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory
conformance is established only by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as
applicable.

"Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS Standard Practice, other standards referred

E!
to herein are identified by the date of issue that was applicable to this Standard Practice at

AL
the date of issue of this Standard Practice. See Annex A. This Standard Practice shall remain
silent on the applicability of those other standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even
though applicable provisions may not have changed. References contained herein which are

In this Standard Practice all notes, annexes, tables, and figures are construed to be essential to the

understanding of the message of the standard, and are considered part of the text unless noted as
"supplemental". All appendices, if included, that appear in this document are construed as "supplemental".

The SI (metric) units and U.S. customary units in this Standard Practice are regarded separately as the
standard; each should be used independently of the other. Combining or converting values between the

two systems may result in nonconformance with this Standard Practice.

This Standard Practice has been substantially revised and rearranged from the previous edition.
It is suggested that if the user is interested in knowing what changes have been made, that a

HIGH PRESSURE KNIFE GATE VALVES
1. SCOPE
1.1 This Standard Practice covers the
construction requirements for lug- and wafer-
type knife gate valves made from ASME Code
materials and meeting the applicable gate
valve requirements of ASME B16.34.
1.2 This Standard Practice covers flanged
body designs compatible with ASME B16.5
flanges for NPS 2 (DN 50) through NPS 24
(DN 600) and ASME B16.47 Series A flanges
for NPS 26 (DN 650) through NPS 48 (DN
1200).
1.3 As an alternative to Section 1.1, this
Standard Practice also covers valves that do not
meet the body wall thickness of ASME B16.34
but shall be qualified by a proof test. The Class
150 and Class 300 dimensional, material, and
other requirements of this Standard Practice
ot
shall apply to these valves.
N
2. STANDARD UNITS
SS
The values stated in either U.S. customary
units or (SI) metric units are to be regarded
separately as the standard. Within the text, the
M
(SI) metric units are shown in parenthesis. The
values stated in each system are not exact
of
equivalents; therefore, each system must be
used independently of the other. Combining
values from the two systems may result in
ty
nonconformance with this Standard Practice.

3. PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE
op
RATINGS
3.1 This Standard Practice is limited to
Pr
valves with Class 150 and 300 pressure-
temperature ratings, as described in ASME
B16.34 and shall meet all requirements of
ASME B16.34, Section 2, for Standard Class
pressure-temperature ratings applicable for
the material of valve construction.
3.2 Class 150 or Class 300 valves not
meeting the ASME B16.34 wall thickness
requirements may be pressure-temperature
1
SP-135
rated by the manufacturer in accordance
with proof pressure test data requirements
of UG-101 of ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section VIII. The
manufacturer’s rating shall not exceed the
applicable Standard Class 150 or Standard
Class 300 flanged valve rating of ASME
E!
B16.34 for the applicable body material.
AL
3.3 The body material and design shall
establish the pressure-temperature rating of
ES
the valve. If the material for the bonnet, or
other pressure boundary item, is different
than the body material, the design shall be
rR
reconciled to insure that the body pressure
temperature rating is maintained at all
temperatures.
fo
4. SIZE
The NPS valve sizes in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4
are the nominal sizes of the end connections.
The DN size used in international and other
standards is related to NPS in this Standard
Practice as follows:
DN = 25 x NPS (For NPS > 4)
5. MARKING
5.1 Valves shall be marked in accordance
with ASME B16.34, MSS SP-25, and in
accordance with the following requirements
and modifications:
a) Manufacturer’s name or trademark/logo.
b) The body material of construction or
code, when more than one material or
grade of material is used each shall be
identified. When lining in contact with
the fluid is used, it shall be listed and
identified as “lining”. It is not required
to repeat the material designation on
fabricated bodies.

one direction only, the valve shall be
marked showing the “seat side”
(downstream side) of the valve in such a
manner that the markings can be seen
with the valve installed in the pipeline.
The user shall be responsible for correct
directional installation. Bi-directional
closure valves need no closure direction
marking.
d) A tag is to be attached to the valves for

permanent distortion of the body or seats when
tested as specified in Section 10. Some
permanent distortion of parts is acceptable
during the shell test of Section 10.1 provided it
can be demonstrated that there will be no further
deformation upon subsequent pressure loadings.
