Design Features(1) 3-Piece StructureThe 3-piece structure is one of the prominent features of the 3-Piece Forged Steel Ball Valve (900#). This structure divides the valve body into three parts, which are connected by bolts. Such a design not only facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the valve

Overview of the Standards1. API 6D: Pipeline and Pipeline ValvesAPI 6D is a standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) specifically for pipeline valves used in petroleum and natural gas systems. It focuses on gate, ball, check, and plug valves and is designed to address the unique

API 6D Material SpecificationsGeneral RequirementsAPI 6D specifies detailed material requirements to ensure valves can withstand the harsh conditions of petroleum pipelines. Key requirements include:• Material Grade: The standard defines specific material grades that must be used for different compo

Understanding API 6D and API 600 StandardsAPI 6D: Pipeline ValvesScope and Applicability• API 6D is a standard that specifies the requirements for pipeline valves, including ball valves, gate valves, check valves, and plug valves. It is widely used in the oil and gas industry for pipeline systems.•

Understanding Ball Valve DesignsFull-Bore Ball ValvesFull-bore ball valves, also known as full-port or full-diameter ball valves, have an internal diameter that matches the diameter of the connecting pipeline. This design ensures that the fluid flow is not restricted when the valve is open, providin

US Standards for Ball ValvesDesign and Manufacturing Standards• API 6D: This standard specifies the design, materials, dimensions, and testing requirements for ball valves, ensuring they meet high standards for pressure containment, shutoff capability, and operational reliability.• ANSI B16.34: This

API 594 Check ValvesDesign and Performance• Standard Overview: API 594 is a widely recognized standard for check valves, covering flanged, lug, wafer, and butt-welding end connections. It specifies the design, materials, and testing requirements to ensure reliable performance.• Material Specificatio

API 608 Ball ValvesDesign and Operation• Quarter-Turn Mechanism: API 608 ball valves are designed with a quarter-turn (90-degree) mechanism. This means the valve can be fully opened or closed with a single, quick turn of the handle.• Quick Operation: The simplicity of the quarter-turn mechanism allo

Understanding Duplex Stainless SteelDuplex stainless steel is a unique material that combines the properties of both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. It consists of a two-phase microstructure, with approximately equal volumes of austenite and ferrite. This combination provides several signi

The structure of the electric ball valve is simple, it consists of only a few parts, and the data is saved; the volume is small, the weight is light, the installation dimension is small, the driving torque is small, the pressure regulating valve is simple and agile, and it can be quickly started by
