Chapter 1. General Information The Woodward Gas Stop/Ratio Valve (Figure 1-1) performs a dual function for industrial or utility gas turbines. One function rapidly shuts off fuel to the turbine fuel control system. Another function provides accurate control of gas fuel pressure at the outlet of the stop/ratio valve. This pressure is applied to the inlets of the gas fuel control valve.

Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Chapter 2. Stop/Ratio Valve Operation The Gas Stop/Ratio Valve actuator is controlled by an electronic servo-control system (not included), which compares the commanded and actual valve positions. The control system modulates the input current signal to the electrohydraulic servo valve to minimize the positioning system error.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Chapter 3. Standard Component Details Triple Coil Electrohydraulic Servo Valve Assembly The stop/ratio valve actuator utilizes a two stage hydraulic servo valve to modulate the position of the output shaft and thereby control the stop ratio valve. The first stage torque motor utilizes a triple wound coil, which controls the position of the first and second stage valves in proportion to the total electrical current applied to the three coils.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve High Pressure Trip Valve When the externally supplied trip pressure is greater than 750 ±100 psid (5171 ±690 kPa), relative to drain pressure, the PTO logic valves allow servo valve pressure to reach the top of the hydraulic piston and the PTC valve prevents loss of this pressure to drain.

The stop/ratio valve, with its integral strut supports, must be supported only by the pipe flanges. Additional supports are neither needed nor recommended. The SS-260 stop/ratio valve is equipped with an integral strut support system to minimize possible overstressing of the Fisher SS-260 valve neck during shipping and handling, as well as during operation.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Preparing the stop/ratio valve for installation requires the following procedure: Suspend the stop/ratio valve assembly from the lifting hooks at its top. Loosen the four ¾-16 strut attaching bolts. Do not rest the weight of the stop/ratio valve assembly on the Fisher valve once the strut supports system bolts are loosened.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Figure 4-1b. Close-up of Strut Brackets on Pipe Flanges (Flangeless Version) For the flangeless version, the threaded stud length and diameter for Class 600 flanges must conform to the following table according to the valve flange size.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Hydraulic Connections There are three hydraulic connections that must be made to each valve: supply, return, and trip oil. The connections to the valve are straight-thread O-ring style ports per SAE J514. The tubing up to the valve must be constructed to eliminate any transfer of vibration or other forces into the valve.
Fuel Vent Port The fuel vent port, located on the SS-260 valve shaft packing assembly, must be vented to a safe location. In normal operation, this vent should have zero leakage. However, if excessive leakage is detected from this vent port, contact a Woodward representative for assistance.

Every valve shipped contains documentation that gives the actual Null Current as measured by Woodward. It is imperative that the control system null current match the as-measured current for each valve in the system. Incorrect null current setting, with proportional control only, will result in position error.
The Gas Stop/Ratio Valve requires no maintenance or adjustment in preparation for or during normal operation. Woodward recommends routine checks of the DP gauge on the filter assembly to verify that the filter is not partially clogged. If the DP indicator shows red, the filter element needs to be replaced.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Safety Block (Example, Woodward part number 3621-1091) This part is used to mechanically block the actuator so that it cannot move during service. Use care and follow all instructions after removal of the spring access cover.

Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Hydraulic Filter Assembly/Cartridge The hydraulic filter is located on the hydraulic manifold, hanging directly under the servo valve. Replacement of Filter Assembly 1. Remove four 0.312-18 UNC socket head cap screws. 2. Remove the filter assembly from manifold block.

Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Entrapped air may defeat the hydraulic cushion action of the actuator, resulting in excessive impact forces during a “trip” command. So, during the initial start-up and prior to operation following service of the actuator, oil filter, or hydraulic supply line, the following procedure must be completed before the unit is commanded to “trip”.

Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve 11. Place the servo valve onto the adapter plate that has been positioned on the hydraulic manifold. Be sure to orient the servo valve to match the original orientation. Be sure that all four O-rings remain in their proper location during assembly.

6. Confirm that the LVDT output remains 0.7 ±0.1 Vrms. Readjust if required. 7. Install the stroke measurement attachment bar (Woodward part number 3780-1034 provided with the stop/ratio actuator) to the moving plate of the actuator as shown in Figure 5-2.

Stroke Measurement Attachment Bar Separating the Stop/Ratio Actuator & Transfer Case Assembly from the Fisher Gas Valve To prevent possible personal injury, do NOT remove the spring cover (which is spring-loaded to over 4000 lb/17 760 N). The four 0.750-16 UNF spring cover attaching nuts have metal tab locks and should not be disturbed.
Released Manual 26276 8-inch SS-260 Gas Stop/Ratio Valve Joining the Actuator/Transfer Case Assembly to the Gas Valve 1. Remove the linkage access cover and end plate from the actuator transfer case. 2. Remove the lower rod end and its jam nut from the actuator pushrod.

20. Adjust the turnbuckle as required to achieve a final rigging of the valve per the Fisher SS_260 Vee- ball instruction manual (Form 5290; SS-260 errata sheet, Oct 2004 or later). The final position of the valve must be approached in the valve closing direction, whereby the turnbuckle is being shortened (pushrod in tension), replicating actuator motion.

Execution of this procedure requires that the Fisher Vee-Ball be removed from the pipeline. 1. The SS-260 valve orientation (RH) shown on the outline drawing (Figure 1-2) is Woodward’s standard orientation (Fisher Style B, position 1). The following procedure is given to facilitate installation where the standard orientation cannot be accommodated.
Under unusual circumstances where disassembly becomes necessary, all work and adjustments should be made by personnel thoroughly trained in the proper procedures. When requesting information or service help from Woodward, it is important to include the part number and serial number of the valve assembly in your communication.
