STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following chart (table) indicates major Standards and Specifications that regulate drawings, productions and tests used in valve manufacturing. These Standards and Specifications are developed and revised by:

 
API SPECIFICATION 6D This specification covers gate, ball, plug and check valves from 150 to 2500 series.
API STANDARD 600
This standard covers steel gate valves with flanged and welded ends up to 2500 series and 24” nominal diameter.
API STANDARD 607
This standard covers the requirements for testing and evaluation of soft-seated quarter turn valves performance, when exposed to certain fire conditions
API SPECIFICATION 6FA
It covers the requirements for testing and evaluation of API SPEC 6 A and API SPEC 6 D valves performance, when exposed to specific fire conditions.
API SPECIFICATION IN 6A
It covers equipment items used in pressure control systems required during well drillings, including joints, seal rings, valves, heads and Christmas trees.
ASME/ANSI B16.5 It covers pressure-temperature ratios for steel flanges, materials, dimensions, tolerances, marking and tests.Note: the bonnet flanges are not covered by this standard.
ASME/ANSI B.16.10 It covers face to face and end to end dimensions for flanged and buttwelded valves.
ASME/ANSI B16.25 It covers the preparation of valve and pipeline buttwelding, including the requirements for profiles transition. Bevel edges are used with or without backing rings
ASME/ANSI B16.34 It gives basic criteria needed in valve drawings. Covers dimensions and tolerances for casting, forging and manufacturing flanged steel valves with buttwelded ends. It is provided with a pressure-temperature ratio chart for every material.
MSS SP-6 This standard provides facings for valves and pipelines.
MSS SP-55 Standard for fixing (specifying) cast pieces surface quality. This standard provides photographs of common defects and lists them according to different levels.
ASME SECTION VIII This section of the ASME Code provides data relative to designs, calculations and properties of materials.
