®

Designed for global

availability and lower total
costs
The proven Worcester 51/52 series flanged ball valve from
Flowserve has been engineered for worldwide availability and
shorter lead times by standardizing its design, materials and
construction.

As a result, the 51/52 series valve minimizes fugitive

emissions, enhances safety, and ensures regulatory
and standards compliance to help companies achieve
decarbonization and sustainability objectives. The globalized
design meets critical certifications and standards in all
jurisdictions.

Specifying the 51/52 series valve also enables companies to

lower the total cost of ownership owing to the standardization
and interchangeability of parts, which are available in all
regions.

In addition, Flowserve provides superior technical support

and service available from a global network of Quick
Response Centers (QRCs).

Standardized for reliability, compliance and safety

To avoid regulatory and financial risks that can occur because of fugitive emissions, Flowserve designed the Worcester 51/52
series valve to provide superior leakage resistance with a bubble-tight shutoff and a more robust, live-loaded packing design.
Safety has been enhanced for end users as a result of the threaded end plug design, which ensures positive retention and
eliminates any blowout risk.

Delrin (D) Fluorofill/Polyfill (P)

Delrin, also known as POM or acetal homopolymer, is a Seats made from PTFE reinforced with carbon, glass and
durable and tough low-friction material. Its superior creep graphite have outstanding dimensional stability across a

UHMWPE (U) Maximum temperature rating of 260°C (500°F)

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) offers
good performance characteristics in applications where PEEK (X)
PTFE is not suitable, e.g., tobacco duty. It also had good Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) demonstrates outstanding
abrasion resistance. pressure capabilities at elevated temperatures, and that is why
it has the highest P/T rating of our non-metallic seat materials.
Maximum temperature rating of 90°C (200°F)
It also has very good chemical and abrasion resistance.

Virgin PTFE (T) Maximum temperature rating of 300°C (600°F)

Virgin PTFE, the most common sealing material, is suitable
for almost all media since it has excellent chemical resistance. Metal (A or G)
It also has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, allowing Seats made from 316L sintered metal impregnated with

operability. The strength of the metal creates seats which

capabilities at elevated temperatures.
Reinforced PTFE (R)
Seats made from PTFE reinforced with glass are stronger Maximum temperature rating of 300°C (600°F)
and more wear-resistant than virgin PTFE seats, making
them more suitable for applications involving higher pressure/

Digitize operations to improve
uptime and yield at lower cost
Get the insights and tools needed to monitor, analyze and
predict the performance of the Worcester 51/52 series valve
with RedRaven from Flowserve, an end-to-end predictive
maintenance solution.

Pairing a 51/52 series valve with a Logix™ 3800 digital

positioner from Flowserve enables plant operators to leverage
the internet of things (IoT) for a connected platform of smart
products, software and services. They can quickly respond
to equipment issues in order to minimize disruptions and
downtime.

The Logix 3800 digital positioner — like most Flowserve fluid

motion and control equipment — is RedRaven Ready. That
means it’s designed and built to accept RedRaven wired
or wireless sensors using cloud architecture for condition
monitoring and predictive analytics
services.

RedRaven provides clear insights that
