-73-Sea Valves - The selection of <strong>aluminum</strong> alloys <strong>for</strong> the sea valves andshell connections is subject to specific approval by the American Bureauof <strong>Ship</strong>ping and U. S. Coast Guard.hAmAmerican Bureau of <strong>Ship</strong>pi~follows:Rules - Article 36.2S.S on Page 249 of the- 1969 Rules is quoted <strong>for</strong> ready reference as1136.25.5 Materials <strong>for</strong> Shell Valves and Shell Fittings - All shellvalves and shell fittings required by this Subsection are to be ofsteel, bronze or other approved ductile material. Valves o<strong>for</strong>dina~ cast iron or similar material are not acceptable. Allpipes to which this subsection refers are to be of stieelor otherequivalent material, subject to special approval.”.— U. S. Coast Guard - Marine Engineering Regulatio~ am Material Specifications,Subchapter F, CG-11~, Part ~6.~0-9~ Overboard Discharges andShell Connections, Subchapter F is quoted <strong>for</strong> ready reference:II(-f) Valves required by this section and piping system componentsoutboard of such required valves on new vessel installations orreplacements in vessels of 1~0 gross tons and over shall be of asteel, bronze, or nodular cast iron specification listed in Tables6.60-a(a). Lead or other heat sensitive materials having amelting point of l,700°F, or less shall not be used in suchservice, or in a~ other application where the deterioration ofthe piping system in the event of fire would give rise to dangerof flooding. Brittle materials such as cast iron shall not beused in such service.Where non-metallic materials are used ina piping system, and shell closures are required by this section,a positive closure metallic valve is required (see also Para.S6.60-2S) .11In addition to cast <strong>aluminum</strong> alloys, other materials such as cast 25per cent nickel - 20 per cent chrome and AISI 304 or 316 stainless steelcould be considered <strong>for</strong> the sea valves. This 2S nickel - 20 chrome alloyis marketed under several trade names, Craneloy 20, Walworth Aloyco A-20.25 Per Cent Nickel - 20 Per Cent Chrome alloy . has been used <strong>for</strong>many years on the Lykes Eros. Gulf-Pride and Clipper Class freighters <strong>for</strong>sea valve suction and discharge services with good success.
