AWWA C522-22 Rotary Cone Valves, 6 In. Through 60 In. (150 mm Through 1,500mm), 2022
- Foreword [Go to Page]
- I. Introduction. [Go to Page]
- I.A. Background. A type of quarter turn plug valve, rotary cone valves have been used in pipelines carrying water for more than 95 years. Manufacturers of rotary cone valves have developed rotary cone valves using metal-to-metal seats. This standard cover [Go to Page]
- I.B. History. This first edition of ANSI/AWWA C522-22, Rotary Cone Valves, 6 In. Through 60 In. (150 mm Through 1,500 mm), was approved on October 24, 2022. [Go to Page]
- I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct
- II. Special Issues. [Go to Page]
- II.A. General. The actuating forces required to operate a rotary cone valve of a given size vary considerably and depend on the size of the valve, the differential operating pressure, the quantity of water flow, the configuration of waterway passages, and [Go to Page]
- II.B. Considerations for Throttling Service. If a valve is to be installed for throttling service, the system owner, system designer, or purchaser must carefully evaluate the full range of differential pressures across the valve versus the downstream pres
- II.C. Valve and Piping Supports. To maintain the integrity of the valve, it is important to avoid subjecting the valve to pipe loads or external loads that drive the valve out of round, such as the use of valve foundations or supports without proper pipe [Go to Page]
- II.D Permeation. The selection of materials is critical for water service and distribution piping in locations where there is likelihood the pipe will be exposed to significant concentrations of pollutants composed of low-molecular-weight petroleum produc
- II.E. Valve Installation and Piping Design. The installation of rotary cone valves downstream of turbulence-inducing devices or pieces of equipment, such as pumps and piping fittings, requires some consideration to avoid various mechanical and hydraulic i
- II.F. Effects of Manual or Power Actuation Stroke Time. When specifying manual and power actuators in Sec. III.A, Items 4, 23, 25, 26, and 27, consideration should be given to the effects of speed of valve operation on the pipeline hydraulic transients (s [Go to Page]
- II.G. Chlorine and Chloramine Degradation of Elastomers. The selection of materials is critical for water service and distribution piping in locations where there is a possibility that elastomers will be in contact with chlorine or chloramines. Documented
- II.H. Valve body/conical plug taper angle. Since the first rotary cone valve introduced in 1926, there have been multiple taper angles employed in their design/construction including 9 degrees, 1-1/2 inches/12 inches (1 mm/8 mm), 7 degrees, 5 degrees, 1 i
- II.I. Integrally Cast or Welded Trunnions v Bolted Trunnions. Rotary cone valves were first introduced in 1926 incorporating bolted-on trunnions in lower body and upper plug design. This resulted in too many degrees of freedom and concentricity issues res
- II.J Bolting Gray Cast Iron Flanges to Steel Flanges. The following recommendations are made for the use of high strength bolting used with either ASME or AWWA steel flanges when bolting to low ductility gray cast iron valve flanges. The ASME B16.1 standa
- II.K Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Advisory Information on Valve Design. Calculation tools like FEA software can be used as a supplement to the equations, wall thickness tables, and size tables when listed in this standard for stress design. These calcul
- III. Use of This Standard. It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application being considered. [Go to Page]
