API 6D & API 600 Manual Solid Wedge Gate Valves offer a reliable solution for regulating fluid flow in industrial pipelines. With their solid wedge design, manual operation, and resistance to high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, these valves provide durability, tight sealing, and cost-effective maintenance, making them a preferred choice for demanding applications in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
API 6D and API 600 Manual Solid Wedge Gate Valves are critical for controlling fluid flow in high-pressure pipeline systems. These valves offer reliable shutoff and are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, and power generation. The solid wedge design provides strength and durability, making these valves ideal for extreme service conditions.
API 6D covers pipeline valves, including gate valves, ball valves, check valves, and plug valves used in pipeline transportation systems, ensuring high standards of performance, safety, and durability.
API 600 specifies requirements for steel gate valves with flanged or butt-welding ends, designed for general industrial service, ensuring long service life and effective sealing under high-pressure conditions.
Many kinds of valves are used in the industrial process, and to ensure proper functionality, compatibility, and safety for end-users, EPC, or engineering, every country has particular organizations to make standards.
The major standard organizations include the American National Standards Institute(ANSI), American Petroleum Institute(API), The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), British(BS), China valve standards(GB, JB, HG), and so on. THINKTANK provides standard resources for all interesting valves friends study.

Valves are found in virtually every industrial process, including water and sewage processing, mining, power generation, processing of oil, gas and petroleum, food manufacturing, chemical and plastic manufacturing and many other fields.
A valve can be described as a mechanism that controls the passage of liquids through a pipe. Research states that valves being manufactured in China are amongst the top valve competitors in the valve industry.
Radiography Inspection guarantees no failures inside of the castings or forgings. Ultrasonic inspection acts an alternative of inspection. Dye penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing can examine surface failures on castings and forgings.
-196 ℃ Cryogenic Treatment System is a basic treatment for LNG usage valves or similiar applications.
Leak testing is a procedure that inspectors use to determine whether an object or system is functioning within a specific leak limit.
All our materials are strictly made under supervision of ladle analysis instrument in the foundries and inspected by high precision spectroanalysis instrument when they arrive in our plant.
All mechanical properties test will act before we use the materials to secure the performance and safety.
Up to 1200 ℃ electric furnance provide an availability of various heat treatment cycles.
Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
