API SPEC 6D-2009 pdf download.Specification for Pipeline Valves.
1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and provides recommendations for the design, manufacturing, testing and documentation of ball, check, gate and plug valves for application in pipeline systems meeting the requirements of ISO 13623 for the petroleum and natural gas industries. This International Standard is not applicable to subsea pipeline valves, as they are covered by a separate International Standard (ISO 14723). This International Standard is not applicable to valves for pressure ratings exceeding PN 420 (Class 2 500). 2 Conformance 2.1 Units of measurement In this International Standard, data are expressed in both SI units and USC units. For a specific order item, unless otherwise stated, only one system of units shall be used, without combining data expressed in the other system. For data expressed in SI units, a comma is used as the decimal separator and a space is used as the thousands separator. For data expressed in USC units, a dot (on the line) is used as the decimal separator and a comma is used as the thousands separator. 2.2 Rounding Except as otherwise required by this International Standard, to determine conformance with the specified requirements, observed or calculated values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value, in accordance with the rounding method of ISO 31-0:1992, Annex B, Rule A. 2.3 Compliance to standard A quality system should be applied to assist compliance with the requirements of this International Standard. NOTE ISO/TS 29001 gives sector-specific guidance on quality management systems.

4 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 4.1 ASME rating class numerical pressure design class defined in ASME B16.34 and used for reference purposes NOTE The ASME rating class is designated by the word “class” followed by a number. 4.2 bi-directional valve valve designed for blocking the fluid in both downstream and upstream directions 4.3 bleed drain or vent 4.4 block valve gate, plug or ball valve that blocks flow into the downstream conduit when in the closed position NOTE Valves are either single- or double-seated, bi-directional or uni-directional. 4.5 breakaway thrust breakaway torque maximum thrust or torque required to operate a valve at maximum pressure differential 4.6 by agreement agreed between manufacturer and purchaser 4.7 double-block-and-bleed valve DBB single valve with two seating surfaces that, in the closed position, provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve with a means of venting/bleeding the cavity between the seating surfaces NOTE This valve does not provide positive double isolation when only one side is under pressure. See double- isolation-and-bleed valve (4.8).
