1. SCOPE
This specification details factory acceptance test procedures and acceptance criteria for
evaluating and documenting static performance, dynamic performance, and servo
robustness. Test procedures and acceptance criteria defined in this document are designed to
quantify performance of fully assembled valves and actuators in their as shipped
conditions.
These specifications do not supersede customer requirements but are to be used in
conjunction with customer requirements.

3. PURPOSE
Antisurge valve performance has traditionally been defined by stroking time in the opening
direction. However, antisurge controller technology has advanced rapidly and increasingly
sophisticated control algorithms now allow compressors to operate closer to surge limits
without increasing the risk of initiating a surge event. As antisurge controllers and control
objectives have advanced, new demands have been placed on antisurge valves. This
document provides guidelines and test procedures to ensure that antisurge valves meet static
performance, dynamic performance, and servo robustness requirements necessary for
smooth startup and reliable operation.
4. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
A summary of the antisurge valve performance specifications is presented in Table 1.
Engineering contractors, end users, or compressor manufacturers may have additional
requirements or requirements that supersede those listed in this table. Variations from the
requirements listed in Table 1 should be documented and agreed to by Fisher Engineering.

5. VALVE ASSEMBLY CLASS DEFINITIONS

This section defines three valve assembly classes for testing.
5.1 Class A
Class A assemblies will meet all static performance, dynamic performance, and servo
robustness criteria listed in Table 1. Only valve assemblies approved by Fisher Engineering
are eligible to be tested to Class A. Deviations from acceptance criteria must be approved by
the customer.
5.2 Class B
Class B assemblies are those that fall outside of Class A guidelines but are designed to meet
the requirements listed in Table 1 as closely as possible. Only valves assemblies approved by
Fisher Engineering are eligible to be tested to Class B. Class B assemblies will meet stroking
time requirements 1, 2, and 3 listed in Table 1. Requirements 4 11 will be tested but minor
variations from the specifications will be allowed and will not require customer approval.
5.3 Class C
Class C assemblies are those where the performance specifications in Table 1 are not
applicable. Stroking time requirements will be specified by the customer and the valve will
be tested to ensure that it complies. Customers can define additional criteria as listed in
Table 1 to be tested, but results will be used for reference only.
6. FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TEST SERIES DEFINITIONS
This section defines two factory acceptance test (FAT) series for quantifying static
performance, dynamic performance, and servo robustness. Tests to be performed for each
assembly class are summarized in Table 2.
6.1 Advanced FAT
This test series fully evaluates and documents compliance relative to all performance
specifications defined in Table 2. The advanced test series is appropriate for critical, difficult,
or unique applications. Examples include long-stroke actuators and actuators with a large
number of accessories. Test Summary Form is in eDocs; FORM_FGS4L11a
6.2 Basic FAT
This is an abbreviated test series that provides a more economical way of validating
compliance with the performance specifications defined in Table 2. This test series is
appropriate for most antisurge control valves. Test Summary Form is in eDocs;

7. TEST SETUP PROCEDURES

Antisurge valves are to be tested on a complete valve and actuator assembly in its as
shipped condition.
7.1 Valve Assembly
(a)
Performance tests are to be run on a fully assembled valve.
(b)
Valve is to include a complete set of trim, including the valve plug, cage, piston
rings, seat ring, and plug seal.
(c)
Valve packing is to be tightened in accordance with Fishers documented practices.
7.2 Actuator Assembly

(a)
Actuator is to be configured with the manufacturers recommended accessories.

Hard piping is not required.
(b)
Volume tanks and other external pieces of equipment may be hooked up using
temporary hoses.
(c)
Supply pressure is to be set according to the manufacturers recommendations.
(d)
Total stem travel shall be set to the specified design value -0", +1/32.
Printed: 6-Sep-05
Page 7 of 20
FGS 4L11
Revision B
7.3 Positioner / Trip System

(a)
Command signal and power to the positioner are to be independent of the power to
the trip system.
(b)
Unless otherwise specified, positioner is to be configured so the valve opens on loss

of power or loss of air supply to the positioner.
(c)
Unless otherwise specified, trip system is to be configured for fail open action on
loss of supply pressure or on loss of power.
7.4 Data Acquisition System

(a)
Stem position is to be measured with an external position transducer that is

independent of the positioner servo control loop.
(b)
Analog command signals are to be used for testing. Digital set point changes are
not acceptable.
(c)
For accuracy, laboratory-grade instrumentation shall be used to measure stem

travel. An external position transducer, such as a Celesco PT8600 series encoder or
equivalent should be used. Resolution is to be 0.0001-in. or better.
(d)
Command signal to the positioner and stem travel are to be recorded at a minimum
sample frequency of 100 Hz.
7.5 Static Calibration

(a)
Positioner is to be calibrated in accordance with recommended practices document

in the manufacturer's instruction manual.
(b)
Unless otherwise specified, full seat load must be obtained at 20.00 mA, full
actuator load must be obtained at 4.00 mA.
7.6 Valve Friction

Friction of the fully assembled control valve is to be estimated using the latest
available version of ValveLink. If an actuator assembly is equipped with volume
boosters, friction should be estimated with the bypass screws on the boosters opened
up completely and the dynamic scan time set to 400 sec. This will minimize biases in
pressure measurements due to pressure drops across the booster bypasses.
8. TEST PROCEDURES AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Test procedures and acceptance criteria to assess compliance are detailed in this section. In
the following text, 0% travel refers to the fully closed valve position and 100% refers to the
fully open valve position. Test procedures have been put in an order that will minimize test
time.

Plot travel against velocity with travel in percent of calibrated span on the abscissa
and velocity and command ramp rate in percent of calibrated span per second on

Note:
No stick-slip motion. The largest change in travel between two successive,

continuous periods at zero velocity -- excluding travel stops -- is the maximum
stick-slip motion in percent of calibrated travel span.
Stick-slip motion occurs when static friction exceeds dynamic friction. Figure 3 illustrates
typical stick-slip motion for a ramp signal. The acceptance criterion is defined by the
maximum change in travel between successive, extended zero velocity regions, excluding
travel stops.
