Body Construction
The body is made of three forged parts, and the bolted
construction allows disassembly in the field for repairs.
The body drain is located in the lowest part of the body
cavity and consists of a 1/4" NPT drain valve with safety
plug. Graphite rings are provided for compliance with
API 6FA and BS 6755 Part 2 fire-safe standards.
Stem Construction
The stem function is to transmit torque and to absorb the
line pressure thrust together with the trunnion. The stem
of Cameron's GROVE B4 valves has an anti-blowout
design and incorporates a double-barrier system. The
pressure thrust on the stem is supported by a thrust
washer in antifriction material.
Seat Seal
The soft sealing between the seat and the ball is achieved
by a plastic insert on B4.B, B4.D valves and by an O-ring
on B4.C valves.
The block-and-bleed and double block-and-bleed
capabilities are available as per API 6D definition on all
types of B4 valves.
Self-relieving seats are standard on all B4.B, B4.C, and
B4.D ASME Classes 150 and 300.
Independent sealing on upstream and downstream seats
is available on B4.C and B4.D ASME Classes 600, 900,
and 1500.
Ball Position
For valves normally mounted with lever, the ball open
and closed positions are ensured by corresponding stops
on the bearing housing. The
lever position parallel to the line
flow means the valve is open.
For valves with gears or
actuators, the stops are set at
the factory as primary stops.
An “open/closed” indicator also
is provided.

MATERIALS SPECIFICATIONS
Materials Selection
The design of the valve also depends on the materials of
construction selected.
After examination of service conditions, the selection
criteria are based on the verification of the physical and
chemical characteristics of the materials or product.
For the soft sealing (O-rings, inserts, and lip seal gaskets),
the guidelines to be followed are relevant for hardness,
tensile strength, modulus, compression set, swelling, and
fluid suitability.
The process is qualified so that the final thickness after
machining can verify the chemical composition as per the
relevant ASTM standard. The final check is carried out by
the liquid penetrant method.
Weld Overlays
Sealing areas and other critical parts of the valve can be
weld overlayed in case of corrosive service.
More frequently used materials are AISI 316L and
Alloy 625.
Duplex Stainless Steels Metallurgy
On duplex (22 Cr to 2 Ni) and superduplex (25 Cr to 5 Ni)
stainless steels, corrosion-resistance qualification check
can be as follows:
• Chloride corrosion as per ASTM G48
(104° F or 40° C, 72 hours)
• Cracking as per ASTM G36
(302° F or 150° C, 500 hours)
• Pitting corrosion PRE = 33 min. for duplex, 40 min.
for superduplex
• Ferrite content 40% to 60%, as per ASTM E562
NACE Requirements
On request, GROVE side-entry ball valves can be supplied
in accordance with NACE MR0175.
Severe Wet Sour Gas Service
In addition to NACE MR0175, the additional qualifications
can be:
• Sulfur ≤ 0.015%
• Hydrogen-induced cracking as per NACE TM-02-84
(96 hours)
• Sulfide stress corrosion cracking as per NACE TM-01-
77 (720 hours)

OPTIONAL FEATURES
Metal-to-Metal Seats
The contact area between the seats
and the ball can be completely
metallic. This feature is required
when tight sealing is needed and the
standard soft seal is no longer suitable
due to the unfavorable combination of
pressure, temperature, and chemical
composition of the medium and/or
when solid particles are present and
when operating conditions prevail.
In case of metal-to-metal seats, the
ball and seats coating can be obtained
by means of various materials and
processes, such as:
• Electroless nickel plating
• High-velocity application of carbide
powder
When utilizing the metallic seats, it is
necessary to verify the structure of the
stem/ball coupling and the actuator
choice, as there is an increase in the
valve torque.
Transition Pieces
Cameron can weld transition pieces
to the valve during the manufacturing
process. Transition can be supplied by
the customer or by Cameron to suit the
customer’s specifications.
Cameron offers a wide variety of
weld procedures in accordance
with international standards.
Other
Upon request, the valve can be
furnished with specific adjustments
for the installation with the
horizontal stem.
Also upon request, the wrenches,
gearboxes, and actuators can be
supplied with locking devices to suit
the customer’s specifications.
EXTENSION
LENGTH
Stem Extensions
GROVE ball valves can be provided
with optional stem extensions to
permit buried or underground
installations in remote or
inaccessible areas.
When used for buried service, the
stem extensions can be furnished
watertight, and the piping of the
grease injection system also will
be extended.
When ordering extensions, please
specify the distance required from
the valve centerline to the
handwheel centerline.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
“S” Design for Subsea Service
The “S” valves are the subsea versions of the B4, B5,
and B7 ball valves, specifically designed to suit subsea
service conditions.
The “S” design takes into consideration the restrictive
criteria used in the definition of safety coefficients relative
to both pressure-retaining components and the stem
connection between the valve and actuator, making the
“S” valve suitable for EDS service.
The critical internal sealing surfaces are protected from
corrosion resistance by the overlay, generally dictated by
customer specifications and checked by chemical analysis
of test specimens and the part(s).
The body is coated with special products and the body/
bonnet bolts are protected with special protective
coatings and special sealing caps. The stem and external
sealing areas are protected with additional seawater
sealing gaskets.
The “S” valve is designed to be reliable and to provide
optimum service with reduced maintenance. It usually
is installed on modular rigs placed on the seafloor,
complete with necessary components. When necessary,
substitution or complete removal of these modules
is possible.
“L” Design For Low-temperature Service
For certain gas treatment processes (e.g., LNG) and
blowdown conditions, the valve must be able to limit
the leakage within specified value and to ensure the
maneuverability at a low temperature. The B4-L, B5-L,
and B7-L valves are suitable for temperatures down to
-184° F ( -120° C).
The valves are referred to the respective standard types,
but materials, parts dimensions, surface finishing, gaskets,
and stem connections are specifically designed to suit
low temperatures.
Epoxy-Phenolic Internal Coating
Cameron has developed a technology for anti-corrosive
internal coatings. The products have been designed for
oil brine, seawater and drinking water service, sour and
corrosive applications.
The final thickness can be 180 to 350 microns.
Hydrostatic shell testing is conducted before and after
coating and thickness and holiday testing records
are maintained.

DESIGN FEATURES (CONT.)
Body Construction
The body is made of three forged parts, and the
bolted construction allows disassembly in the field for
repairs. The bolts threads areas are per ISO metric or
ASME imperial, depending on the market request. The
tightening of the bolts is made by hydraulic tools with a
predetermined torque. The body drain is located in the
lowest part of the body cavity and consists of an NPT
drain valve with safety plug.
Stem Construction
The stem of Cameron's GROVE B5 valve is separated from
the ball and is connected to the upper ball trunnion by
steel pins. Bearing blocks are located on the upper and
lower ball trunnions, which absorb all the pressure load
on the ball.
The stem is a free member and carries no side thrust.The
absence of this side load and friction drag on the stem
ensures lower operating torque and long service life.
The stem is sealed by means of two O-rings. If leakage
should ever occur through both stem seals, the outer
O-ring can be replaced with the valve in the line, under
pressure with the ball in the closed position. With no
pressure in-line, it is possible to remove the gland plate
for replacement of both primary and outer stem O-rings.
The stem also can be removed and replaced if necessary.
Torque
Cameron's GROVE B5 valve's low operating torque is due
to a combination of factors:
• The design of the stem, which is separated from
the ball
• The side loads, brought on by differential pressure,
are absorbed by two (upper and lower) rigid bearing
retainers and large-diameter, short coupled trunnions
to reduce unit bearing loads
• The metal-backed, self-lubricating sleeve bearing and
the thrust washers reduce the torque and extend
service life
Ball Position
The ball's open and closed positions are ensured by
corresponding stops on the adapter plate.
The valve normally is mounted with the actuator stops or
the gear stops set at the factory as primary stops.
An “open/closed” indicator also is provided.
14
Seat Seals
The GROVE B5 seat design ensures double-barrier sealing
in both directions (the normal self-relieving seats are a
simple barrier of sealing). The sealing is performed by
both a primary metal-to-metal seal and a secondary
protected O-ring seal.
Double Piston Effect (DPE)
The DPE seat design was invented and patented by
Cameron’s GROVE team. The DPE seat design allows for
both seats to seal with pressure acting from the same
side of the valve. In the event one seat becomes
damaged, the user has the added advantage of the
opposite seat sealing. By means of this double barrier, the
sealing is ensured regardless of the direction of the flow
through the valve.
If the upstream seat (1) becomes damaged and leaks,
the pressure entering the body cavity acts on the
downstream seat (2), sealing the downstream seat tightly
against the ball.
Note: The DPE feature and the double block-and-bleed
feature are not to be confused with one another.
The initial seal, at extremely low pressure differential or
vacuum conditions, is obtained with spring-loaded
floating seats, which are free to move slightly along the
longitudinal axis of the valve. Line pressure behind the
seat ring supplements the seat spring load to force the
seat tightly against the ball.

Quality System
Quality Assurance Program
ISO 9001:2000 and API Q1 Standards
All valves are designed in accordance with
the most stringent industry procedures and
standards and are built according to the
European Directives PED and ATEX upon request.
Approvals
Cameron is an authorized licensee to use the
American Petroleum Institute (API) monogram
for specification API 6D and API 6A.
Certifications
• ISO 10423/API 6A
• ISO 14313/API 6D
• ISO 17423/API 6DSS
Inspection
Inspection is done per the Quality System requirements
based on ISO 9001:2000 and API Q1. Cameron verifies
all processes from material receipt to final customer
inspection, including the liaison with third-party
inspection and certifying authorities.
All products can be supplied with certified test reports,
which include pressure testing, NDT, and chemical and
physical analysis, along with any other specified special
test requirements.
The material certification of the valve parts can be
furnished in accordance with DIN 50049-EN 10204 3.1 (at
least) or 3.2.
Special Process
Cameron operates its own in-house electroless nickel
plating (ENP) facility.
ASTM B656 and ASTM B733 are the reference standards
for plating process and control. Strict quality control
procedures for critical process conditions and for the
plated components maintain plating consistency.

Qualification Testing
Research and Development Lab
Cameron’s GROVE valves are designed in accordance with
the applicable or requested codes and are subjected to
full in-house qualification testing. Our in-house testing
facilities, with the participation of the major oil and gas
companies’ R&D programs, allow Cameron to supply
high-quality products.
Hydraulic and gas sealing tests, functional tests, and
cycling and torque tests all are carried out on prototype
valves. These test procedures ensure that the design
safety factors, the maximum allowable leakage rates, and
the expected valve service life are achieved.
Structural Verification
Cameron’s engineering department operates an advanced
3D CAD system and conducts finite element analysis
(FEA) to simulate various load conditions to determine a
component’s suitability for the intended service.
Fire-Safe Tests and Certifications
Cameron conducts in-house fire-safe testing, and its
GROVE valves are certified in compliance with API 6FA
and BS 6755 Part 2 fire-safe standards.
A complete reference list of qualified and certified valves
can be made available upon customer’s request.
Cycle Testing Under Flow Conditions
Through its in-house flow facility, Cameron verifies the
behavior of valves subjected to cycle testing under
dynamic flow conditions with the presence of abrasive
particles. This test loop has the capacity to test valves up
to 6" nominal bore with a maximum service pressure of
2900 psi (200 bar).
The main test parameters are PC entered and recorded
for future design reference.
High-Pressure Gas Testing
Customers’ specifications may dictate more severe
testing in addition to conventional hydrostatic testing.
Cameron is fully equipped to carry out enhanced gas
testing at ambient, low and high temperatures using
specially equipped bunkers. External leakage rates (if any)
are verified by means of a mass spectrometer. Leakage
through the seats (if any) is verified by means of calibrated
flow meters.
For low- and high-temperature service, gas testing can be
performed to customer-specified critical dimensions.
Cameron has test facilities for various valve dimensions.
Testing can be performed at a range of temperatures
from -184° F to 752° F (-120° C to 400° C).
