GIGS Spring Return Gas Powered Actuator

Spring return GIGS actuator


for 90 operation for On-Off service

General
The GIGS gas spring return actuator
series was engineered and is
manufactured to provide fail safe
operation for any quarter turn
application such as ball, plug, butterfly
valves.
Simplicity, reliability and economy
are at the top of the list of design
parameters.
The spring module incorporates up to
four springs, fully encapsulated in a
factory-welded cartridge. This ensures
safety to personnel and ease of
assembly.

Features
- Totally enclosed, weatherproof
housing in fabricated carbon steel for
maximum strength
- Canted scotch yoke actuators are
the proper solution to motorise the
most common type of quarter-turn
valves, due to their dedicated torque
trend; they are suited to the larger
valve sizes where high break away
torques are required or for valves with
high working pressure
- Symmetric scotch yoke actuators
available for special applications
- External travel stops for precise
angular stroke adjustment between
82 and 98
- Hard chromium plated and polished
guide bar and piston rod for
corrosion resistance and minimal
friction
- Bushings made of bronze or
sintered bronze, charged with
teflon, to provide minimal friction and
extended service life
- Electroless nickel plated and
polished cylinder for corrosion
resistance and minimal friction
- Piston and piston rod seals made by
a teflon ring precharged by an
O-ring provide low hysteresis and high
sensitivity of actuator, preventing
sticking problems
- Hand pump manual override available
- Spring module to provide fail-safe
operation
- The spring return pack incorporates
up to four springs, fully
encapsulated in a factory welded
cartridge: this ensures safety to
personnel and simplifies assembly
- The spring action can be easily
changed in the field from to close in
to open or viceversa (modular design)

- An extensive range of accessories


are available:
- limit switch boxes explosionproof,
intrinsically safe and/or weatherproof;
limit switches can be provided in
different types according to
customer requirements
- position transmitters
explosionproof, intrinsically safe
and/or weatherproof
- gas filters
- solenoid valves - explosionproof,
intrinsically safe and/or weatherproof;
- control units for on-off service, derived
from Biffi high pressure controls
used for GPO and GIG actuators
normally enclosed in proper
aluminium cabinet
- poppet-type (no leakage) control
valves
- flow regulators, relief valves
valves
- electric pressure switches

- terminals enclosures,
explosionproof or intrinsically safe
and/or weatherproof
- Special coatings for offshore or
corrosive environments

Notes
- Max allowable pressure 105 bar g

- Add S to the model number to identify
actuators with symmetric yoke
(i.e. 0.3S-0150-100)
- Add CL or OP to the model number
to identify spring to close or spring
to open (i.e. 0.3-0150-100 CL)

GIG/GIGS Sizing Criteria

Valve data required


Break to open torque
Required torque to move the valve away
from its closed position under the full
differential pressure. This torque value
must take into account the possible
sticking effect which could affect the
valve if it is closed for a long time.
Reseating torque
Required torque to close the valve under
the full differential pressure.
Break to close torque
Required torque to move the valve away
from its open position with maximum
working pressure in the pipeline. This
torque value can be high in the case of
double block and bleed ball valves.
End to open torque
Required torque to fully open the valve.
Running torque
Required torque to actuate the valve in
opening and in closing without
differential pressure along the angular
stroke except the fully open and fully
closed positions where the required
torques are those listed above.

Safety factor
It is essential to confirm if the above
torque values include a safety factor.
Depending on the valve application
additional safety factors may have to be
considered over and above those
recommended.
Maximum allowable stem torque
Maximum torque the valve stem can
withstand.
Valve stem dimensions

Operating conditions data


required
 Supply

medium pressure range


(minimum, normal, maximum)
 Type of actuator: double acting or
spring return to close or spring return

 On-Off or Modulating service
 Frequency of operation and required
operating times

Actuator sizing general


criteria
A safety factor must be included during
sizing if not included in the figures
supplied by the valve manufacturer.
The safety factor value has to be
defined as a function of the valve type
and size, of the working condition and
of the operating time. The safety factor
is usually included in the range from 1.2
to 1.5: higher values have to be
employed in the case of extreme
working conditions (for instance in case
of low temperature, dirty and/or high
viscosity medium, very infrequent
operation, modulating service, short
operating time).
The output torques values listed in the
performance tables of actuators do not
include a safety factor but are the
minimum guaranteed torques.

Dynamic torque
Required torque to actuate the valve in
opening under the medium flow through
the valve. This torque value is high
particularly on modulating service and
when the medium speed and specific
gravity are high.
The angular position where the dynamic
torque occurs has to be defined.

utilised as a standard as the output


torque characteristics, of both oil and

suited to overcome the required valve
torque throughout the 90 stroke.
For actuator sizing the following
comparisons between the valve data,
including safety factors, and the
actuator data have to be performed.
 Check that the spring ending torque
of actuator exceeds the valve
reseating torque with maximum
differential pressure

that the gas starting torque of


actuator, with minimum supply
pressure, exceeds the valve break to

 Check that the spring starting
torque of actuator exceeds the valve
break to close torque with maximum
working pressure in the pipeline
 Check that the gas ending torque of
actuator, with minimum supply
pressure, exceeds the valve end to
open torque
 Check that both the spring running
torque and the gas running torque,
with minimum supply pressure, of the
actuator exceed the valve running
torque
 Where a valve dynamic torque is
present, check that it is overridden by
the actuator oil running torque, with
minimum supply pressure.
For a more accurate sizing BIFFI
should be consulted
 Check that the valve stem dimensions
are within the accepted values of the
actuator selected size, unless an
adaptor is required for other
dimensional reasons
 When required, since there is the
possibility that the valve stops during
its stroke due to abnormal conditions,
it is necessary to check that the
actuator spring output torque and
the gas output torque, with
maximum supply pressure, do not
exceed the valve maximum allowable
stem torque and the actuator
maximum operating torque
