I. Overview of API 6D StandardAPI 6D is a standard for pipeline valves formulated by the American Petroleum Institute (API). It is mainly used for the design and manufacturing of valves in long-distance pipelines, gathering and transportation pipelines, and related equipment in the oil and gas indus

DIN 3352 Ball ValvesDesign and Sealing Mechanism• Floating Ball Design: DIN 3352 ball valves typically feature a floating ball design, where the ball is not rigidly fixed to the stem. This allows the ball to move slightly under pressure, ensuring a tight seal against the seat.• Bidirectional Sealing

Understanding Floating Ball ValvesWhat are Floating Ball Valves?Floating ball valves are a type of ball valve where the ball is not rigidly fixed but is allowed to float within the valve body. This design allows the ball to move slightly under the pressure of the fluid, ensuring a tight seal against

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

In industrial fields such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemical engineering, ball valves are the core components of fluid control systems. As two mainstream designs, the performance differences between floating ball valves and trunnion ball valves are particularly significant under high-pressure f
