Ankersmid Needle Valves
PANAM ‘PNV’ series
Application
PANAM PNV Series Needle Valves are specially designed and ruggedly manufactured for use in corrosive & hazardous environment. These valves are used in Process control, instrumentation and flow control application. Valves are precision machined, designer durability and maximum efficiency to provide high quality and low cost alternatives in fluid and gaseous control systems of different applications, to meet the exacting standards of our growing and demanding customers.
PANAM Series valves are available in High Grade Stainless Steel, Carbon steel, Brass and Monel materials in variety of end connections includes Male / Female threaded NPT, BSP, BSPT, ISO, DIN and JIS tapered pipe ends.
Valves can be supplied to meet current revision of NACE MR01-75 (Sour Gas Service)
All valves are 100% factory tested and complete traceability is available upon request.
Features
Non Rotating Vee / Ball tip design - which forms a bearing joint with the stem eliminates rotation between plug & seat at closure. This prevents scoring and galling up the valve seat and ensures long life in repetitive shut off service
Safety Bonnet Lock - Prevents accidental disassembly
Stem thread Rolled & Hard Plated - Provides additional strength & maximum service life
Mirror Finish Stem, burnished to a 16RMS - Extends packing life and smooth stem operation
Adjustable Packing Below Stem threads - Prevents stem lubrication washout and isolate threads
from process contamination.
Safety Back Seating - Provides secondary stem seal in full open position, prevents stem blow out
Stainless Steel Handle - For proper actuation
Body to Bonnet seal - Metal to Metal constant compression, Isolate bonnet threads from system
fluids and eliminates possible tensile
Dust Cap - Prevents contaminants and lubricant washout of bonnet assembly

Testing
Each valve is hydrostatically tested in accordance with MSS-SP-99. This procedure includes
testing of the body cavity. Hydrostatic test is performed with pure water or other liquids of similar or
lower viscosity at 1.5 times and seat leakage test at 1.1 times of the maximum working pressure.
Each valve is also tested with Nitrogen Gas at 1000 psi for seat, seal and shell leakage.
Other tests like Vibration, Temperature, Helium are available upon request.
