FIRETESTED
The valve has successfully passed a firesafe test in accordance with a specific firesafe procedure.
INHERENTLY FIRESAFE
The valve is firesafe by design. The valve has no soft components that could be destroyed by the fire. The valve does not change its performance before, during or after the fire.

FCI 70-2 class VI does not define leakage above 16”. FCI 70-2 class VI test is performed always at 3 bar independently from the valve rating. (*) API 598 air test is required for metal seated ball and butterfly valves (**) API 6D air test is optional

BUBBLETIGHT is the most misused term !
Bubbletight in accordance with: FCI 70-2 class V or class VI API 598 & API 6D metal seated means:
ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE
The benefits obtained by means of the AFM strategy are: - Drastic reduction of delivery time - Reduction of inventory, - Increased productivity.

AFM (Advanced Flow Manufacturing)
Vanessa has implemented the Advanced Flow Manufacturing also to “Engineering to order” product lines like:
Cryogenic Valves High Temperature Valves Valves with Steam Jacketed Configuration
All Vanessa valves are tested to pass a ZERO LEAKAGE test
ZERO leakage definition
Zero leakage is defined as the ability to pass a test per ALL International standards with ZERO bubbles of air and/or drops of water.

Integrated Manufacturing Cell


In the year 2000, Vanessa has built a fully independent production facility based on the AFM (Advanced Flow Manufacturing) technology: the Integrated Manufacturing Cell (IMC). The IMC is conceived as a focussed factory to produce the following product line: Vanessa Series 30,000, Basic Configuration, from 3” to 24”, class 150 & 300, ASME & DIN compliance, WCB & CF8M.
