The control valve design standards provide guidelines for the materials of construction, dimensions, connections, and performance requirements for control valves.
Here are some of the most commonly used design standards for control valves:
This is an American Petroleum Institute standard that covers the design and manufacture of pipeline and pipeline valve components.
It provides guidelines for the design and manufacture of control valves, including the materials of construction, valve body and bonnet design, and actuator design.
This is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard that covers valve pressure-temperature ratings.
It provides guidelines for the design of control valves, including the pressure-temperature ratings, materials of construction, and valve body and bonnet design.
This is a standard developed by the North American Instrument Manufacturers Users’ Roundtable (NAMUR) that covers the interface between control valves and process control systems.
It provides guidelines for the design of control valves, including the communication between the valve and process control system, response time, and accuracy.
