Related Model: Durco T4 — Lined Ball Valve. Sizes 1"-6", Classes 150. Application: Corrosive chemical service, PTFE lined.
Body Cracking (Thermal Fatigue): Valve body develops cracks from repeated thermal cycling (startup/shutdown). Most common in main steam gate valves and feedwater check valves. Can lead to catastrophic failure if undetected.
Repair: NDE inspection (UT, MT, PT) to map crack extent. Weld repair if cracks are shallow and in non-critical areas. Body replacement if cracks penetrate >50% wall thickness. Lead time: 4-12 weeks depending on severity.
Backseat Leak: Backseat fails to seal when valve is fully open, allowing packing to be pressurized. Prevents online packing replacement. Common in older Edward gate valves.
Repair: Re-machine backseat in-situ or remove valve for shop repair. Backseat lapping requires specialized tooling. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
Emergency (power plant outage): 24-72 hours — 24/7 machining, dedicated crew
