Standard Differences And Selection Points between American Standard Gate Valves And National Standard Gate Valves

standard differences

(I) Implementation Standards
American standard gate valves: mainly follow American Petroleum Institute (API) standards such as API 600 and API 6D. These standards put forward strict requirements for the design, manufacture, inspection and testing of valves to ensure the reliability of valves in high-pressure, high-temperature and corrosive environments.
National standard gate valves: follow Chinese national standards (GB), such as GB/T 12234 and GB/T 12221. These standards are mainly for application requirements in the domestic market and provide detailed specifications for the structure, size, material and performance of valves.

(II) Pressure Ratings
American standard gate valves: The pressure rating range is relatively wide, usually from Class 150 to Class 2500, suitable for high-pressure working conditions.
National standard gate valves: The nominal pressure range is generally from PN16 to PN100, suitable for medium and low pressure working conditions.

(III) Structural Length
American standard gate valves: The structural length standard is ASME B16.10, which is usually shorter and suitable for compact spaces.
National standard gate valves: The structural length standard is GB/T 12221, with a wide size range and suitable for various application scenarios.

(IV) Flange Standards
American standard gate valves: The flange connection standards are ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, etc.
National standard gate valves: The flange connection standards are GB/T 9113, JB/T 79, etc.

(V) Inspection Requirements
American standard gate valves: The inspection standards are API 598, API 600, etc., which have strict requirements on the sealing performance, strength and durability of valves.
National standard gate valves: The inspection standards are GB/T 12224, GB/T 12237, etc., focusing on the overall performance and reliability of valves.

Selection points

(I) Application scenarios
American standard gate valve: Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature and corrosive environments in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemical industry, such as petroleum refining and natural gas transportation.

National standard gate valve: Widely used in domestic medium and low pressure scenarios such as municipal water supply, sewage treatment, and chemical production.

(II) Material selection
American standard gate valve: Commonly used materials include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys, which can adapt to various harsh working conditions.

National standard gate valve: The material selection is relatively diverse, including cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc., to meet different pressure and medium requirements.

(III) Sealing performance
American standard gate valve: The sealing surface usually adopts stainless steel or hard alloy surfacing, with excellent sealing performance, suitable for high-pressure working conditions.

National standard gate valve: The sealing surface materials are diverse, including iron gaskets, stainless steel gaskets, etc., suitable for medium and low pressure working conditions.

(IV) Operation mode
American standard gate valve: Mostly flange-connected, with diverse operation modes, including manual, electric, and pneumatic.
National standard gate valve: Mostly bolt-connected, with manual operation mode as the main, suitable for frequent operations.
