FAQ - PSB Forged Check Valve 900LBS - 1500LBS - 2500LBS
Q1: What is a Pressure Self-Sealing Bonnet (PSB) and why is it used for Class 900+?
A: Pressure Seal Bonnet uses internal line pressure to self-energize 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 against the seal ring, tightening the seal. This self-energizing principle makes PSB more reliable than bolted bonnet at very high pressure, and it eliminates the need for massive bolting and heavy flanges. For Class 900 and above, PSB is the standard choice. At Class 2500 (430 bar / 6,250 psi), PSB is essentially the only practical bonnet design.
Q2: Why combine PSB with SW/NPT ends instead of flanged ends?
A: PSB is used for high-pressure service, and SW/NPT ends are used for small-bore (NPS 1/2 to NPS 2) compact installations. Combining PSB with SW/NPT creates an ultra-compact, high-pressure, zero-leakage valve that is ideal for instrument lines, sampling systems, and subsea manifolds where space is limited and leak tightness is critical. Flanged ends would add significant weight and require more space. PSB + SW/NPT is the most compact solution for Class 900 to 2500 small-bore high-pressure service.
Q3: What is the difference between Class 900, 1500 and 2500 PSB 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, gas compressor lines, and subsea HIPPS systems. Higher classes have thicker wall sections, heavier body and bonnet, and higher weight. For Class 2500, only SW ends (or BW with flanged connection) are recommended; NPT may not maintain full pressure rating at high temperature.
Q4: Can PSB 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 the 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. However, bonnet removal is more involved than BB. For critical service, we recommend stocking spare seal rings and trim parts. For Class 2500 subsea service, valves are typically replaced rather than repaired in situ.
Q5: What is the difference between SW and NPT ends for PSB valves?
A: SW (Socket Weld) ends are welded to the pipe, providing excellent leak tightness and full Class 900/1500/2500 pressure capability. NPT (Threaded) ends are screwed onto the pipe, allowing quick assembly and disassembly without welding — preferred for instrument lines and sampling systems. For Class 2500 PSB valves, SW is strongly recommended because NPT may have a reduced pressure rating at high temperature. Both SW and NPT are fully compatible with the PSB design. For critical subsea or wellhead service, SW is preferred.
Q6: What is the difference between Piston and Swing type PSB valves?
A: Piston type uses a piston that moves along the flow axis, providing fast closing and tight sealing — the most common type for Class 900/1500/2500 PSB valves with SW/NPT ends. Swing type uses a hinged disc that swings on a hinge pin, providing lower pressure drop — suitable for NPS 1.5 to 2 sizes in Class 900/1500. For Class 2500, only Piston type is recommended due to the extreme pressure rating. For small-bore (NPS 1/2 to NPS 1), Piston type is generally preferred; for NPS 1.5 to 2 with lower pressure drop requirements, Swing type can be considered.
