Design and Manufacturing Standards
• ASME B16.34: This standard specifies the design, materials, dimensions, and testing requirements for gate valves. It ensures that valves meet high standards for pressure containment, shutoff capability, and operational reliability.
• API 600: This standard is specifically designed for gate valves, ensuring they meet stringent requirements for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
• Flow Control: ASME B16.34 and API 600 standards emphasize precise flow control, ensuring that gate valves can accurately regulate fluid flow. This is achieved through the use of high-precision manufacturing processes and materials.
• Testing Protocols: Comprehensive testing, including hydrostatic and pneumatic tests, is conducted to verify the valve's integrity and performance under specified conditions.
• Material Specifications: Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steels, chosen for their strength and corrosion resistance.
European Standards for Gate Valves
Design and Manufacturing Standards
• DIN 3356: This standard specifies the design, manufacturing, and testing requirements for gate valves. It ensures that valves meet high standards for reliability and performance.
• EN 12516-1: This international standard provides detailed guidelines for the design and testing of gate valves, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability across different manufacturers.
• Flow Control: DIN 3356 emphasizes precise flow control, ensuring that gate valves can accurately regulate fluid flow. This is achieved through the use of high-precision manufacturing processes and materials.
• Testing Protocols: Comprehensive testing, including hydrostatic and pneumatic tests, is conducted to verify the valve's integrity and performance under specified conditions.
• Material Specifications: Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steels, chosen for their strength and corrosion resistance.
