scope:

This International Standard specifies the requirements for a series of compact steel gate, globe and check valves for petroleum and natural gas industry applications.

It is applicable to valves of

- nominal sizes DN 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80 and 100,

- corresponding to nominal pipe sizes NPS ¼, ⅜, ½, ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 2½, 3 and 4,

and to pressure designations of Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 800 and Class 1500.

Class 800 is not a listed class designation, but is an intermediate class number widely used for socket-welding and threaded end compact valves.

It includes provisions for the following valve characteristics:

- outside screw with rising stems (OS & Y), in sizes 8 ⩽ DN ⩽ 100 and pressure designations 150 ⩽ Class ⩽ 1500 including Class 800;

- inside screw with rising stems (ISRS), in sizes 8 ⩽ DN ⩽ 65 and pressure designations of Class ⩽ 800;

- socket-welding or threaded ends, in sizes 8 ⩽ DN ⩽ 65 and pressure designations of Class 800 and Class 1500;

- flanged or butt-welding ends, in sizes 15 ⩽ DN ⩽ 100 and pressure designations of 150 ⩽ Class ⩽ 1500, excluding flanged end Class 800;

- bonnet joint construction - bolted, welded and threaded with seal weld for Class ⩽ 1500 and union nut for Class ≤ 800;

- body seat openings;

- materials, as specified;

- testing and inspection.

This International Standard is applicable to valve end flanges in accordance with ASME B 16.5 and valve body ends having tapered pipe threads to ISO 7-1 or ASME B 1.20.1. It is applicable to extended body construction in sizes 15 ⩽ DN ⩽ 50 and pressure designations of Class 800 and Class 1500, and to bellows and bellows assembly construction as may be adaptable to gate or globe valves in sizes 8 ⩽ DN ⩽ 50. It covers bellows stem seal type testing requirements.
