JAMESBURY VALVE SOLUTIONS
For safety and efficiency, it’s critical to select the
right valves… and the right supplier.
For both producers and
users, specifying valves for
chlor-alkali services
requires special attention.
Corrosive liquid and gas
flow often creates leaks
that lead to process liabilities related to safety and
the environment.
Improperly selected valves
and automation can also
negatively impact process
efficiency where low
maintenance and maximum uptime are critical to
performance and profitability.
Great care must be taken to select not only
the proper valve type and materials of
construction, but also the specific sealing
capabilities, automation solutions and
accessories you need to be successful.
With so much at stake, it makes sense to
partner with a trusted global valve supplier
with the experience and expertise needed
to make a real difference in your process.
That supplier is Metso Automation.
A proven resource for all of
your chlor-alkali valving needs.
Metso’s Jamesbury valve products have been
specified for challenging chlor-alkali services
for over 40 years. Our large installed base
provides the foundation for our extensive
knowledge while our involvement with the
Chlorine Institute helps us stay current with
today’s evolving needs and standards.
Exhaustive seat and seal testing helps ensure
valve performance as promised.
Our products offer all of the capabilities you
need to meet your particular chlor-alkali
process requirements. Unique valve designs,
sealing technologies and automation capabilities distinguish our solutions from all
others.
Chlorine service valves are highly engineered
products and cannot be considered a routine
commodity valve application.

JAMESBURY VALVE SOLUTIONS
Valve Solutions for Chlor-Alkali Processing
A Wide-Range Of Chlor-Alkali
Valve Options
We have a product for virtually all of your
high-performance valve needs (from 1/4” up
to 24”). Jamesbury Double-Seal® full and
standard bore ball valves provide tight shutoff and minimum flow resistance. Their
unique flexible-lip sealing design not only
provides tight shut-off, but in the event of
pressure build-up in the body, they flex and
vent chlorine safely toward the high pressure (upstream) side of the valve. Jamesbury
Wafer-Sphere® high-performance butterfly
valves are perfect for both on-off and
proportional control applications. They offer
ball valve performance with lower torque
and a more efficient automation package.
Putting Safety and
Environmental Requirements
First
Metso strives to be your chlor-alkali valve
supplier of choice. That is why we make
sure Jamesbury ball and Wafer-Sphere highperformance butterfly valves are designed,
tested and qualified to 23 internationally
recognized specifications and standards
including ANSI, ASTM, API, MSS and ISO.
In addition, we routinely subject our
products to our own rigorous testing. For
example, Jamesbury 3-point valve stem
seals - with our patent pending design -
recently completed a 50,000 helium cycle
test with 200°C (392°F) thermal transient. The
result: tight to 35 PPM Helium @ ambient
and 3.5 PPM Helium @ temperature under
dynamic cycling conditions.
Unique Polymeric Seat
Options
Versatile chlor-alkali polymeric seat options
for Jamesbury Double-Seal ball valves and
Wafer-Sphere high-performance butterfly
valves include PTFE and our completely
unique Xtreme® seat materials. Xtreme seats
allow you to cover temperatures to 260°C
(500°F) from a single seat material with leak
tight performance.
Liquid Chlorine Valves
(-20°F, -29°C & Lower)
Increase process efficiency with the high Cv
of a Ball Valve and compact size of a Ball
Valve. 1” – 3” ANSI Class 300 Valves are available for temperatures below -20°F (-29°C).
ASTM A352 LC3 material meet Chlorine
Institute Pamphlet 6 Class II, III, V and VI
requirements.
Valve Materials of Construction
For Chlor-Alkali Conditions.
We offer a choice of highly-reliable valve
construction materials to meet your requirements for chlor-alkali production. Our
solutions allow you to select the valve best
suited for your application. Valve body
options include carbon steel, stainless steel,
Alloy 20 or Monel. Ball, stem and shaft
options include 316 stainless steel, Alloy 20,
Monel or Hastelloy C.
