GENERAL

1.1

Scope of the manual

This manual provides essential information for users of Nel-
disc® triple eccentric disc valves. If you need further infor-
mation on actuators and other accessories, please refer to
the individual manuals on their installation, operation and
maintenance..
NOTE:
Selection and use of the valve in a specific application
requires close consideration of many different aspects.
Due to the nature of the product, this manual cannot
cover all the individual situations that may occur when the
valve is used.
If you are uncertain about use of the valve or its suitability
for your intended purpose, please contact Metso for more
information.
For valves in oxygen service, please see also the separate
installation, maintenance and operating instructions for
oxygen service (see Metso document id:10O270EN.pdf)

Valve description

Neldisc series L6 is a double flanged type metal seated tri-
ple eccentric disc valve. Neldisc series L4 is a wafer type
metal seated triple eccentric disc valve.
The disc is elliptical and has a triple eccentric mounting.
When the valve is closed, the elliptical disc at the major axis
displaces the seat ring outward, causing the seat ring to
contact the disc at the minor axis. When the valve is
opened, the contact is released and the seat ring returns to
its original circular shape (see Fig. 1).
The disc is fitted to the shafts with pins and there are no
holes through the disc.
Construction details of individual valves are included in the
type code shown on the valve identification plate. To inter-
pret the type code, please refer to Section 11.
