Pressure Seal Bonnet (PSB) vs Bolted Bonnet (BB)
| Parameter | Pressure Seal Bonnet (PSB) | Bolted Bonnet (BB) |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing Principle | Internal pressure pushes bonnet against body seal | Bolts compress gasket between bonnet and body |
| Pressure Range | Class 900 and above (recommended) | Class 150 to 900 (general service) |
| Sealing Reliability | Tighter as pressure increases | Constant sealing force |
| Weight | Heavier (PSB components + seal ring) | Lighter (bolts + gasket) |
| Maintenance | Requires depressurization for bonnet access | Easy bonnet access with bolts |
| Typical Application | HP steam, wellhead, gas injection, subsea | General hydrocarbon, process piping |
Reference: BS 5352, ASME B16.34. PSB is the standard choice for Class 900 and above due to its self-energizing sealing principle.

FAQ - Pressure Seal Forged Check Valve Class 900 - 2500LBS
Q1: What is a Pressure Seal Bonnet (PSB) and how does it work?
A: Pressure Seal Bonnet uses internal line pressure to tighten the seal between the bonnet and body. A soft iron or stainless steel seal ring sits between the bonnet and body; as line pressure increases, it pushes the bonnet upward against the seal ring, compressing it and making the seal tighter. This self-energizing principle makes PSB more reliable than bolted bonnet at very high pressure and temperature, and it is the standard choice for Class 900 and above.
Q2: Why is PSB preferred for Class 900 and above?
A: At Class 900 and above, bolted bonnet designs require extremely heavy flanges and large bolts to maintain sealing force, which increases weight and cost. PSB uses the line pressure itself to maintain the seal, eliminating the need for massive bolting. This makes PSB more compact and reliable at high pressure. For Class 2500 (430 bar / 6,250 psi), PSB is essentially the only practical bonnet design.
Q3: What is the weight difference between PSB and BB designs?
A: PSB valves are generally heavier than BB valves of the same size and class because of the seal ring and thicker bonnet structure. For example, a 1/2 inch Class 900 PSB forged check valve weighs 10.5 kg, while the equivalent BB design weighs approximately 5.2 kg. However, PSB provides superior sealing reliability at high pressure, making the extra weight acceptable for critical service.
Q4: What is the difference between Class 900, 1500 and 2500 PSB forged check valves?
A: Class 900 PSB (153 bar / 2,220 psi) is suitable for high-pressure steam and gas transmission. Class 1500 PSB (260 bar / 3,750 psi) is designed for wellhead, gas injection, and high-pressure process service. Class 2500 PSB (430 bar / 6,250 psi) handles HP steam generators and gas compressor lines. Higher classes have thicker wall sections, heavier flanges, and longer face-to-face dimensions. For example, a 1/2 inch PSB valve has L(RF) of 216 mm in Class 900/1500 and 264 mm in Class 2500.
Q5: Why is PSB typically used with RTJ ends?
A: RTJ (Ring Type Joint) uses a metal ring gasket in a machined groove, providing superior sealing integrity under high pressure. PSB and RTJ are both designed for high-pressure critical service, making them a natural combination. For Class 900 and above, RTJ is the recommended flange facing. RF (Raised Face) is also available for less critical applications where the pressure is lower or maintenance access is more important.
Q6: Can PSB forged check valves be repaired or maintained?
A: PSB design requires depressurization before bonnet access. Once depressurized, the bonnet can be removed by releasing the seal ring, and internal trim (disc, seat, hinge pin) can be inspected or replaced. Because PSB relies on line pressure for sealing, it does not require periodic bolt torque checks like BB designs. This makes PSB lower maintenance in long-term service, though bonnet removal is more involved than BB. For critical service, we recommend stocking spare seal rings and trim parts.
