API 6D: Specification for Pipeline Valves, is the stadard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, manufacturing, testing and documentation of ball, check, gate and plug valves for application in pipeline systems, application for Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries-Pipeline Transportation Systems-Pipeline.
API 6D is the globally recognized specification that defines the requirements for the design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and documentation of ball valves and other types of valves for application in pipeline and piping systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries. The API Monogram Program identifies the finest organizations in the world that have demonstrated their ability to manufacture new equipment that conforms to API product specifications. The API approval also requires a Quality Management System that is compliant with API Spec Q1. A thorough audit by API is periodically required to maintain the Monogram.
