Annotation

This standard specifies the requirements for a series of compact gate, globe and check valves for petroleum and natural gas industry applications.

It is applicable to valves of:

— nominal diameter sizes DN 8, DN 10, DN 15, DN 20, DN 25, DN 32, DN 40, DN 50, DN 65, DN 80, and DN 100;

— corresponding to nominal pipe sizes NPS ?, NPS 3/8, NPS ?, NPS ?, NPS 1, NPS 1?, NPS 1?, NPS 2, NPS 2?, NPS 3, and NPS 4.

It is also applicable to pressure designations of Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 800, and Class 1500.

Class 800 is not a listed class designation, but is an intermediate class number widely used for socket welding and threaded end compact valves.

It includes provisions for the following valve characteristics:

— outside screw with rising stems (OS & Y), in sizes 8 ? DN ? 100 (? ? NPS ? 4) and pressure designations including Class 800;

— inside screw with rising stems (ISRS), in sizes 8 ? DN ? 65 (? ? NPS ? 2?) and pressure designations of classes ? 800;

— socket welding or threaded ends, in sizes 8 ? DN ? 65 (? ? NPS ? 2?) and pressure designations of Class 800 and Class 1500;

— flanged or butt-welding ends, in sizes 15 ? DN ? 100 (? ? NPS ? 4) and pressure designations of Class 150 through Class 1500, excluding flanged end Class 800;
