Application & Function
These valves are specifically designed for critical service in oil and gas wellhead applications, including Christmas trees and manifold systems. The "Full Bore" design ensures a straight-through flow path.
The API 6A rating signifies compliance with stringent industry standards for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment, ensuring reliability under extreme pressure and corrosive environments defined by the NACE material classes.
Design Features
Designed with a through-conduit gate mechanism, the valve offers a low pressure drop when fully open and bubble-tight shut-off when closed.
- Meets API 6A requirements
- PSL-1 & PSL-2 capabilities
- Corrosion resistant materials (NACE)
- Robust flanged connections (API 6A)
Construction & Materials
Constructed to withstand severe service conditions, this valve supports various API material classes ranging from general service (AA, BB, CC) to highly corrosive environments requiring H2S resistance (DD, EE, FF, HH).
