API 6A Valves
API 6A is the American Petroleum Institute Standard for oil and gas wellhead equipment. A forged body is stronger than cast body. Valves with a slab gate are simpler than the expanding gate type and capable of withstanding greater working pressures
Application Area
API Spec 6A valves to help you meet the demands of land and offshore drilling and production, including
- large-bore completions
- extreme pressures and temperatures
- heavy oil
- sour service
- subsea applications.
Types :
Gate Valves
Slab -Trough Conduit Gate Valves
Expanding Gate valves
Globe Valves
Swing Check Valves
Trunnion Ball Valves
FEATURES
- Forged Body and Bonnet
- Low operating torque under pressure.
- Long lifetime and low service requirement
- Critical application from 2000 psi to 15000 psi.
