The GS16DR can be mounted directly to the piping system using the 2 inch (50.8 mm) ANSI flanges.
Consideration must be given to the strength of the piping system to support the 48 kg (105 lb) weight of
the GS16DR.
The mounting interfaces of the GS16DR are designed to support only the weight of the valve itself.
Failure to properly support components (piping, valves, etc.) mounted to the GS16DR can result in
binding loads on the GS16DR body and may adversely affect valve performance.
Refer to ASME B16.5 for details of flange, gasket, and bolt types and dimensions. Verify that the piping
flange-to-flange dimensions meet the requirements of the outline drawings (Figures 1-1 and 1-2) within
standard piping tolerances. The valve should mount between the piping interfaces such that the flange
bolts can be installed with only manual pressure applied to align the flanges. Mechanical devices such as
hydraulic or mechanical jacks, pulleys, chain-falls, or similar should never be used to force the piping
system to align with the valve flanges.
ASTM/ASME grade bolts or studs should be used to install the valve into the process piping. Flange
gasket material should conform to ASME B16.20. The user should select a gasket material which will
withstand the expected bolt loading without injurious crushing, and which is suitable for the service
conditions.
When installing the valve into the process piping, it is important to properly torque the stud/bolts in the
appropriate sequence in order to keep the flanges of the mating hardware parallel to each other. A two
step torque method is recommended. Once the studs/bolts are hand-tightened, torque the studs/bolts in a
crossing pattern to half the required torque. Once all studs/bolts have been torqued to half the appropriate
value, repeat the pattern until the rated torque value is obtained.
The inlet piping of the GS16DR valve must be in accordance with ANSI/ISA- S75.02 as required for flow
metering accuracy. Below is a figure summarizing these requirements.
Dimensions should be:
A At least 18 nominal pipe diameters of straight pipe (36.0 inch/915 mm). This may be reduced to 8
nominal pipe diameters (16 inch/407 mm) if straightening vanes are used.
B Two nominal pipe diameters of straight pipe (4.0 inch/102 mm)
C Six nominal pipe diameters of straight pipe (12.0 inch/305 mm)
D At least 1 nominal pipe diameter of straight pipe (2.0 inch/51 mm)
