32、ce for the Repair and Remanufacture of Pipeline Valves1 ScopeThis recommended practice provides guidelines for the repair and remanufacture of steel ball, check, gate, and plug valves normally used in pipeline applications, as defined by API 6D.This recommended practice covers repair or remanufactur
33、ing of end users (owners) valves for continued service in the owners production applications. It does not cover repair or remanufacture of used or surplus valves intended for resale.Repaired or remanufactured valves may not meet API 6D and/or the OEM original product definition (OPD) for new valves.
34、The owner is responsible for the correct application of valves repaired or remanufactured per this document.Field repair is outside the scope of this document.2 Normative ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standar

47、 following activities before sending the equipment to the reconditioner:a) All pressure shall be removed from valve cavities and accompanying actuators, tanks, etc.b) Hazardous materials shall be removed and cleaned from the valve and accompanying equipment.c) Copy of the material safety data sheet
48、(MSDS) to be provided for the valve service media.d) Valves should be checked for NORM in accordance with the applicable local regulations (region/state/country/province). Valves containing NORM may require special handling and cleaning procedures.5 Control of EquipmentThe valve shall be identified
49、by the owner name/location or other appropriate identifier. Each valve shall be assigned a unique identification number 5. This number shall be traceable back to the pertinent instructions and or information provided by the owner.A visual inspection shall be conducted to determine if the valve can be reconditioned. If valve cannot be reconditioned, notify the owner for disposition instructions.Disposition may include one or more of the following:a) Salvage useable parts.b) Scrap in accordance with the owners instructions.c) Return to the owner.6 Disassembly and Cleaning of ValvesVal
