Important Notes for User/Procurement:

  1. Dimensions & Weight: The face-to-face dimension and weight provided are estimates based on standards and typical designs. The manufacturer’s specific design will determine the final values. Always confirm with the supplier.

  2. Flange Standard: For NPS 30, ASME B16.47 Series A is typical, but confirm applicability and ensure it matches the connecting piping.

  3. Stellite Grade: “Stellite” typically implies Stellite 6 (CoCrA alloy) for valve trim hardfacing. Confirm the exact grade with the manufacturer if critical.

  4. Seat Leakage: API 6D has specific seat leakage criteria (Table 45, usually Option A or B). API 598 Class IV or VI is often achievable with Stellite seats, but state the required class if critical.

  5. Manufacturer: This TDS describes a valve meeting the specified requirements. Actual performance and features depend on the specific manufacturer’s qualified design. Ensure the chosen manufacturer is API 6D monogram licensed.

  6. Options: Review the options list carefully. Features like lifting lugs are practically essential for handling a valve of this size and weight.
