API Standard for Ball ValvesAPI 6DAPI 6D is a widely recognized standard for pipeline valves, particularly in the oil and gas industry. It specifies the design, testing, and performance requirements for ball valves used in pipeline systems. Key features of API 6D include:• Design and Dimensions: Det

Understanding Floating Ball ValvesStructure and FunctionFloating ball valves consist of a spherical ball that rotates within a valve body to control the flow of fluid. The ball is supported by a stem and can move slightly within the valve body, allowing it to seal tightly against the seat. This desi
