CAMERON T31MAX
High-efficiency Fully Welded Ball Valve

CAMERON T31MAX High-efficiency Fully Welded Ball Valve
As one of the most trusted valves in the petroleum industry, the CAMERON T31MAX provides the strength of
forged components with a lightweight and compact spherical design. Combined with Cameron’s MAXTORQUE™
high-efficiency gear operator, the package gives new meaning to the words “user friendly.”
CAMERON fully welded ball valves satisfy ASME/ANSI 150 through 2500 (PN 20 through PN 420) and API 2000 through
10,000 standards. Made of forged steel to ensure uniform fine grain structure and toughness, they can be specified in
sizes from 2” to 56” (50 mm to 1400 mm).

Standard Seat Design
In service since the early 1960s, the standard seat
arrangement has proven to be of sound design.
This arrangement is available in all CAMERON fully
welded ball valves and includes all features and
benefits indicated on the preceding pages.

Features and Benefits
Upstream Sealing
At low pressure, seat-to-ball contact is maintained by
Belleville springs. At higher pressures, seat contact is
reinforced by line pressure.

Automatic Internal Relief of Body Pressure
Relief of excess body cavity pressure is automatic,
avoiding dangerous pressure buildup. Any pressure
exceeding downstream line pressure by approximately
200 psi pushes the downstream seat away from the ball,
allowing the pressure to relieve into the pipeline.

Rotating Seat Rings
The exclusive rotating seat feature is standard in the
CAMERON fully welded ball valve sizes 14” (350 mm)
and larger. Both seats rotate 15 degrees each time the
valve is closed, exposing a new pinch point and evenly
distributing seat wear.

Distributed Seat Wear
The pinch point is the area of the seat insert that
experiences an increased velocity when the valve is
seated closed and unseated open. This is where the
seat seal experiences the most wear, and in most
valves, where a leak path begins. By rotating the seat
ring, the pinch point wear is distributed throughout
the seat seal, providing an increase in seat life.

Prevents Buildup
In some services, a valve can experience harmful sediment
buildup around the seat ring. This can cause the seat to
stick and not seal properly. The CAMERON fully welded
ball valves, with exclusive rotating seat, can handle these
harsher services. As the seat rotates, it will prevent any
buildup, or breaks up existing buildup.

Features and Benefits
Stem Seals
Delta seals and lip seals made of PTFE are incorporated
in the upper stem area. PTFE is a low-friction,
non-deteriorating material that is not subjected
to rapid decompression explosion. Most valve sizes
have a provision for sealant injection to establish a
secondary seal.

Trunnion-supported Ball Allows
Low-torque Operation
Regardless of size or pressure rating, every CAMERON
fully welded ball valve is trunnion mounted. High-strength
forged stems are located in PTFE impregnated stainless
steels bearings for smooth operation. Trunnion mounted
stems absorb the thrust from line pressure, preventing
excess friction between the ball and seats, so even at full
rated working pressure, operating torque stays low.

Double Block-and-bleed
Whether in the fully open or fully closed position,
pressure on each side of the ball is blocked from the
VALVE
OPEN

body cavity by the seat ring. The body cavity can then
be bled down or drained through the body port.
When you block-and-bleed a CAMERON fully welded
ball valve, the following can be accomplished:

Test Valve Integrity
	When the valve body is vented, the seat seal’s
integrity is verified. This test can be performed
VALVE
CLOSED

with the valve open or closed prior to facility
maintenance. By verifying valve integrity,
unforeseen valve leakage can be prevented.

Secondary Seat Seal
The sealant injection system provides a fast, simple way
of restoring tight shutoff if any foreign object should
damage the sealing surfaces. The injection system also
can be used for routine flushing of the seat ring area
in services where this may be required.

5

Alternate Seat Design
The valve is available with double-acting and
metal-to-metal seats to accommodate a variety
of applications and customer preferences.

Double Acting
Conventional Upstream Sealing
With upstream pressure, the bi-directional
body-to-seat seal is pushed toward the front sealing
face of its retaining pocket. This creates an unbalanced
pressure annulus between the body seal and the ID of
the seat insert, forcing the seat insert against the ball.

Downstream Sealing
With downstream pressure, the bi-directional body-to-seat
seal is pushed toward the back sealing face of its retaining
pocket. This creates an unbalanced pressure annulus
between the OD of the seat insert and the body seal
diameter, also forcing the seat insert against the ball.

Standards and Specifications
Double Acting – T32
SIZES
• 8” to 48” (200 mm to 1200 mm)

PRESSURE CLASSES
• ASME/ANSI Class 150 to 900 (PN 20 to PN 150)

OPERATING TEMPERATURES
• -50° F to 250° F (-46° C to 121° C)

Additional Features and Benefits
The CAMERON T31MAX valve series offers the established features and benefits of the T31 valve with the addition of
leading-edge Drive Train technology. The MAX valve series offers a product that adds power steering to one of the
leading valves in the market.

In-line Replaceable Stem Seals

Standards and Specifications

In the unlikely event of a stem seal needing replacement,

Sizes

this can be accomplished safely with the valve in service.
With the body cavity vented, all line pressure to the
stem area also is vented. (Please contact your sales
representative to obtain maintenance procedures.)

Safeguard Downstream Work
With the valve closed and the vent fitting open, the
possibility of the line media reaching a work area is
removed.

Fire-tested for Safety
CAMERON fully welded ball valves can be supplied to
API 6FA, API 607 and ISO 10497 standards. Fire-test
programs are ongoing. If industry standards change or
customer requirements vary from above, please contact
your sales representative.
