API 608 Process Ball Valve
Floating or trunnion process ball valve to API 608 / ASME B16.34
Process ball valve supplied to API 608 and ASME B16.34 from qualified manufacturers — the plant-piping counterpart to API 6D pipeline balls. Floating construction covers most smaller sizes; trunnion mounting is used as size and class increase. Soft or metal seats, reduced or full port, and fire-safe API 607 builds are quoted to the datasheet. ISO 15848 packing is available on request.
Products are supplied to the stated API / ISO / ASME / AWWA standards from qualified manufacturers for projects in Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Jubail, Yanbu, Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province. Certifications, monograms and listings are those of the manufacturing plant and are provided as specified in the purchase order.
