    Material Standards

    ASTM (America Society for Testing and Materials)


    Dimensional Standards
    ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
    Adapted by ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers)
    The American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards for Some Commonly used Valves are as
    follows:
    API 6D – Pipe Line Valves, End Closures, Connectors and Swivels
    API 6F – Recommended Practice for Fire Test valves
    API 593 – Ductile Iron Plug Valves – Flanged Ends
    API 598 – Valves Inspection and Test
    API 600 – Steel Gate Valves
    API 602 – Compact Design Carbon Steel Gate Valves
    API 604 – Ductile Iron Gate Valves – Flanged Ends
    API 607 – Fire Test for Soft Seated Ball Valves

    The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), Standards for Some Commonly used Valves are as
    follows:

    American Welding Society (AWS)

    American Water Works Association (AWWA)


    These Standards refer to the piping elements required for low pressure water services.
    These are less stringent than other standards. Valves, Flanges etc., required for larger diameter
    water pipe lines are covered under this standard and are referred rarely by the piping
    Engineers.
    C – 500 : Gate Valves for Water and sewage system
    C – 510 : Cast Iron Sluice Gate Valves
    C – 504 : Rubber Seated Butterfly Valves
    C – 507 : Ball Valves 6” to 48”
    C – 508 : Swing Check Valves 2” to 24”
    C – 509 : Resilient Seated Gate Valves for Water and sewage

    The Manufacturers Standardization Society of Valves and Fitting Industry –


    Standard Practices (MSS – SP):
    In addition to the above standards and material codes, there are standard practices followed by
    the manufacturers and are widely used. The most Common MSS-SP standards referred for
    Valves are as follows:
    MSS – SP – 42 : Class 150 corrosion resistant gate, globe and check valves
    MSS – SP – 61 : Pressure testing of valves
    MSS – SP – 67 : Butterfly Valves
    MSS – SP – 68 : High Pressure off seat butterfly valves
    MSS – SP – 70 : Cast iron gate valves
    MSS – SP – 71 : Cast iron check valves
    MSS – SP – 72 : Ball Valves
    MSS – SP – 78 : Cast iron plug valves
    MSS – SP – 80 : Bronze gate, globe and check valves
    MSS – SP – 85 : Cast iron globe valves
    MSS – SP – 88 : Diaphragm valves
    MSS – SP – 108 : Resilient seated eccentric CI plug valves
