Flanged Ball Valve Floating Type API 6D

Product Introduction

A floating ball valve to API 6D is used where a pipeline has to be isolated cleanly, repeatedly and safely, and where the buyer has to demonstrate compliance with a recognised standard. This page covers the flanged floating design with double sealing and fire-safe, anti-static construction for oil, gas and chemical duty.

Applications and Titanium Advantages

The valve is used for on-off isolation on oil and gas lines and for chemical fluid transfer where medium and low pressure service is involved. The recurring field issues are seal wear after prolonged cycling and the consequent risk of external leakage, so seat material, sealing design and the safety features should be confirmed rather than assumed.

• API 6D standard framing supports compliance documentation for pipeline and oil-and-gas projects.
• The floating ball double sealing arrangement addresses seat wear and the leakage path that develops after long cycling.
• Fire-safe and anti-static features are built in for services where those properties are specified.

Quality and Purchasing Information

Confirm the material grade, nominal size, pressure class, end connection, seat and seal materials, the medium and the operating conditions, and state which standards and test certificates the project requires. Tibars reviews the valve against the API 6D requirement and the line conditions before offering.

• Clarify the grade, size, tolerance, quantity and delivery schedule required for this API 6D floating ball valve so the quotation reflects the actual scope.
• Confirm which certificates, test reports and inspection documents are needed for this API 6D floating ball valve and they will be matched to the order specification.
• Custom dimensions, finishes or assemblies for this API 6D floating ball valve are quoted after the drawing and operating conditions have been reviewed.
