Flanged Type Bronze API 6D Ball Valve
The main material of a bronze ball valve is bronze, including cast aluminum bronze and aluminum bronze, etc. Bronze materials have good corrosion resistance, wear resistance and impact resistance, and can withstand the erosion of various corrosive media such as seawater, sulfates and chlorides. The structure of a ball valve usually includes key components such as the valve body, valve cover, valve stem and ball, all of which are made of bronze to ensure the overall durability and reliability of the valve.
Our floating ball valves are designed, engineered and manufactured in strict conformance to API, ASTM, ASME, ANSI and other recognized standards.

The applications of Bronze API 6D Ball Valve.
Bronze ball valves are widely used in industrial fields such as marine, chemical, petroleum, and natural gas.
What is the difference between API 608 and API 6D ball valve?
API 608 and API 6D ball valves differ primarily in application scope and design standards:
API 608 covers general-purpose ball valves for various industries (e.g., chemical, petroleum), suitable for moderate pressure/temperature conditions. It allows both metal and soft seats, with options for flanged, threaded, or welded ends.
API 6D specifies valves for pipeline systems (e.g., oil/gas transmission), emphasizing ruggedness for harsh, high-pressure/high-temperature environments. It requires metal seats and focuses on pipeline-specific features like direct burial and pigging capability.
In summary, API 608 is more versatile for general industrial use, while API 6D is specialized for pipeline applications with stricter durability and operational requirements.
