Testing
Every Swagelok SK series valve is factory tested in both flow directions with nitrogen at 1000 psig (69bar). Seats have a maximum allowable leak rate of 0.1 std cm3/min. Shell testing is performed to a requirement of no detectable leakage with a liquid leak detector.

Cleaning and Packaging

All Swagelok SK series ball valves are cleaned and packaged in accordance with Swagelok Standard Cleaning and Packaging (SC-10), MS-06-62. Special cleaning and packaging in accordance with Swagelok Special Cleaning and Packaging (SC11), MS0663, to ensure compliance with product cleanliness requirements stated in ASTM G93 Level C, is available as an option. See Process Options, page8.

Important Information About Swagelok Ball Valves Swagelok ball valves are designed to be used in a
fully open or fully closed position.

Valves that have not been cycled for a period of time may have a higher initial actuation torque.

ISO 5211-Compliant Actuator Mounting Bracket Kits

Mounting Bracket Kits
Swagelok ISO 5211 mounting bracket kits contain:
316 stainless steel mounting bracket Four A4 stainless steel, socket head cap screws

Calculating Operating Torque

1. Determine the base start and base end torque at

system pressure from Table 1, below.

2. Determine the temperature factor from Table 2, below. 3. Calculate the start and end operating torque:

(A4 is similar to 316 SS) Powdered metal 300 series stainless steel coupling
A4 stainless steel set screw Instructions

Base torque temperature factor Example:  SK series valve is operated with nitrogen at 3000psig and 70F (20C). 1.  According to Table 1, the base start torque is 21 in. lb and the base end torque is 10 in. lb. 2.  According to Table 2, the temperature factor is 1.0. 3.  Start torque = 21 in. lb 3 1.0 = 21 in. lb  End torque = 10 in. lb 3 1.0 = 10 in. lb.

Ordering Information
1.  Choose an actuator based on the valve start and end torque. See the actuator manufacturers literature to specify ISO 5211 mounting dimensions, including flange and coupling sizes. 2.  Select a mounting bracket kit ordering number.
