Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification Applicable standards may include API 600, API 602, BS 1873, EN 1984, ASME B16.34, API 598 and ISO 5208. The correct standard depends on the complete valve design, service and manufacturer.
Class Approval DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and ClassNK may approve complete marine valves for specified services. A replacement bonnet is normally accepted only when it is an OEM or approved equivalent compatible with the class-approved valve.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes Verify valve manufacturer, size, pressure class, bonnet type, material, gasket dimensions and stem arrangement before installation. Isolate, drain and depressurize the line. Fit a new compatible gasket and tighten bonnet fasteners using the manufacturer's specified sequence and torque.
Maintenance Tips Inspect bonnet bolts, gasket joints, stem packing and corrosion during valve overhauls. Check for leakage and correct packing compression. Replace damaged bonnets, studs, nuts, gaskets and packing with approved parts.
Safety Notes Confirm the valve is fully isolated, depressurized, drained and electrically or mechanically secured before bonnet removal. Treat steam, fuel, chemicals and seawater systems as hazardous. Use suitable lifting equipment and personal protective equipment.
