What does 150 WSP mean on a ball valve?

Working Steam Pressure
WSP. WSP stands for Working Steam Pressure and defines the pressure of steam in a system that a ball valve can be used in. The industry uses WSP for bronze ball valves because, as the temperature rises, the strength of the material decreases.

What is WOG and WSP in pressure?

WOG stands for the water, oil, and gas rating for the valve and reflects the maximum pressure capability of the valve at 100 F. WSP stands for working steam pressure and reflects the maximum pressure rating for the valve at the highest temperature rating.

What does WOG mean on a ball valve?

water, oil, gas
CWP & WOG Ratings WOG (water, oil, gas) is an older term that is no longer used as frequently as it once was. It simply means that the valve is intended for use with water, oil or gas, with the exception of combustible gases.

Is WOG and PSI the same?

The WOG rating on valves is the amount of psi pressure the valve can handle. WOG stands for water, oil, and gas. The WOG rating means that you shouldn’t exceed the pressure recommended. There is no conversion from psi… it just specifies what material the valve can tolerate!

Can I use a ball valve for gas?

Gas ball valves require CSA approval in order to be used in combustible gas applications.

How much pressure can a ball valve hold?

The ball valve’s ease of operation, repair, and versatility lend it to extensive industrial use, supporting pressures up to 1,000 bar (100 MPa; 15,000 psi) and temperatures up to 752 °F (400 °C), depending on design and materials used. Sizes typically range from 0.2 to 48 inches (5.1 to 1,219.2 mm).

How do I know if I have a gas valve?

When the long side of the nub or handle is parallel to the incoming gas line, it’s open and the gas is flowing. When it’s turned a quarter turn, perpendicular to the incoming pipe, it’s closed.

How do you tell if a valve is on or off?

Ball valves are perhaps the easiest valve to see if they are open or closed. If the handle on top is parallel to the valve, it’s open. Likewise, if the handle is perpendicular to the top, the valve is closed.

Can you control water pressure with a ball valve?

A ball valve only controls flow and not pressure. A ball valve can be used to limit the pressure after water is flowing. A ball valve requires less plumbing than a pressure Regulator.

What should 600 Wog / 150 WSP pressure be?

A valve rated at 600WOG/150WSP should be able to withstand 600 psi in a water or gas pipe and 150 psi if used in a steam supply system. In Pilar’s case, for a water supply system the valve is rated at 600 psi (lb/pulg2), so it should have no problems up to that pressure.

What does wog and WSP stand for in valve rating?

Valves carry two ratings: WOG and WSP (sometimes SWP). WOG stands for the water, oil, and gas rating for the valve and reflects the maximum pressure capability of the valve at 100 F. WSP stands for working steam pressure and reflects the maximum pressure rating for the valve at the highest temperature rating.

What’s the difference between 200 wog and 125 WSP?

This 1.5-inch angle valve is marked “200 WOG” (and “125 WSP”), not “200 PSI.” Pipefitters classify valves by their pressure and temperature limitations.

What does a 600 CWP ball valve mean?

The number represents the pressure rating, ie a 600 with CWP under it would mean the valve is rated to 600 PSI CWP. WSP stands for Working Steam Pressure and defines the pressure of steam in a system that a ball valve can be used in.
