Selection Guide
Class 600 is used for higher-pressure refinery, oil & gas, petrochemical and power service. Often used in critical process lines where construction, end connection and documentation need closer review. For this valve design, buyers should also review wedge, stem, bonnet and seat design.
Final pressure-temperature limits, dimensions, operating torque and test values are confirmed against the applicable standard, approved drawing and project specification.

Typical project materials include WCB, WCC, LCB, LCC, CF8M, WC6, WC9. The correct grade depends on corrosion, minimum and maximum design temperature, toughness, hardness limits and the project material specification.
End Connections
Rf, rtj and bw can all be relevant; the piping class should decide the final end connection. Available connection families for this product include RF, RTJ, BW.
Design & Engineering
For Class 600, check body material, trim, sealing design, actuator margin and pressure-temperature limits as a complete package. Also confirm wedge type, bonnet type, stem/trim, body material, end connection and operation.
Refinery isolation, pipeline block service, petrochemical units, power and utilities. Final suitability depends on the actual fluid, design temperature, corrosion conditions, cycling frequency and project specification.
Testing & Inspection
Pressure testing, traceability and inspection records are especially important for project approval.

Buyer Questions
Provide valve size, Class 600, design standard, body and trim material, end connection, operation, quantity, service fluid, design temperature and inspection requirements.
Typical project options include WCB, WCC, LCB, LCC, CF8M, WC6, WC9. Final material selection must follow the approved piping class and service conditions.
This product family includes RF, RTJ, BW. The correct connection depends on the line class, flange facing or weld preparation in the project specification.
Where the design allows it, gear, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic operation can be evaluated after operating torque, fail action and project requirements are confirmed.
