40、 the requirements established by ASME B16.34, ValvesFlanged, Threaded, and Welding End.API 608 is intended to provide the similar additional requirements for steel and alloy steel ball valves beyond ASME B16.34 as do the following API standards for other valve types: API Standard 594, Check Valves:
41、Flanged, Lug, Wafer and Butt-welding; API Standard 599, Metal Plug ValvesFlanged, Threaded, and Welding Ends; API Standard 600, Steel Gate Valves: Flanged and Butt-Welding Ends, Bolted Bonnets; API Standard 602, Steel Gate, Globe, and Check Valves for Sizes DN 100 and Smaller for the Petroleum and N
42、atural Gas Industries; API Standard 603, Corrosion-resistant, Bolted Bonnet Gate ValvesFlanged and Butt-welding Ends; API Standard 609, Butterfly Valves: Double-flanged, Lug- and Wafer-type.vi1Metal Ball ValvesFlanged, Threaded, and Welding Ends1 Scope1.1 This standard specifies the requirements for
43、 metal ball valves suitable for petroleum, petrochemical, and industrial applications that have: flanged ends in sizes DN 15 through DN 600 (NPS 1/2 through NPS 24); butt-welding ends in sizes DN 15 through DN 600 (NPS 1/2 through NPS 24); socket-welding ends in sizes DN 8 through DN 50 (NPS 1/4 thr
44、ough NPS 2); threaded ends in sizes DN 8 through DN 50 (NPS 1/4 through NPS 2).Corresponding to the nominal pipe sizes in ASME B36.10M.1.2 This standard applies to metal ball valves with pressure classes as follows: flanged ends in Classes 150, 300, and 600; butt-welding ends in Classes 150, 300, an
45、d 600; socket-welding ends in Classes 150, 300, 600, and 800; threaded ends in Classes 150, 300, 600, and 800.1.3 This standard establishes requirements for bore sizes described as: full bore; single reduced bore; double reduced bore.1.4 This standard applies to floating (seat-supported) ball (Figur
46、e B.1) and trunnion ball valve designs (Figure B.2). These figures are to be used only for the purpose of establishing standard nomenclature for valve componentsother floating and trunnion designs also exist.1.5 This standard establishes additional requirements for ball valves that are otherwise in
