‌Sunrise Petro: Leading the Way in API 6D Valve Manufacturing in China

API 6D serves as the standard specification for valves utilized in the petroleum and natural gas industry's pipelines. It encompasses the essential criteria for designing, fabricating, testing, and validating pipeline valves, such as ball valves, gate valves, and butterfly valves, among others.

Sunrise Petro has attained compliance with API Q1, API 6D, and ISO standards. With two decades of expertise, Sunrise Petro specializes in manufacturing a diverse range of API 6D valves, offering customization options to meet specific requirements.

Overview

API 6A and API 6D represent pivotal standards established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) concerning valves within the oil and gas sector.

API 6D stands as the standard specification for valves utilized in pipelines within the petroleum and natural gas domain.

API 6A, on the other hand, delineates a standard specification for valves, pipelines, and associated equipment within the oil and gas sector. It predominantly addresses valve design, materials, maintenance, testing, quality assurance, and prerequisites for related equipment and accessories. API 6A typically finds application in demanding environments characterized by high pressure, high temperature, and acidity, such as petroleum drilling and production equipment, wellhead equipment, and production facilities.

API 6D primarily addresses requirements pertaining to the design, manufacturing, testing, and acceptance of pipeline valves (e.g., ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, etc.).

The API 6D standard focuses on the demands of fluid transportation within pipelines, mandating valves to exhibit reliable sealing performance, minimal leakage, and adaptability to diverse operating conditions.

Distinguishing API 6D from 6A

The principal disparity lies in the scope of application and design specifications.

API 6A targets the harsh conditions prevalent in the petroleum and natural gas industry, emphasizing high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. It predominantly applies to petroleum drilling and production equipment, wellhead equipment, and production facilities, necessitating valves capable of withstanding extreme conditions.

In contrast, API 6D caters to pipelines and pipeline systems within the oil and gas sector, centering on the design and production of pipeline valves. It mandates valves to possess dependable sealing performance, low leakage rates, and versatility in adapting to varied operational scenarios.

It's imperative to note that API 6A and API 6D are not mutually exclusive standards; their adoption within the oil and gas industry hinges on distinct application domains and requirements.

Sunrise Petro boasts extensive experience in manufacturing both API 6A and API 6D pipeline valves and high-pressure valves over a span of 20 years. Our valves, which can be tailored to specific needs, are exported to key international oil-producing regions, including North America, South America, the Middle East, and the CIS region.

Applications

Sunrise Petro's API 6D valves are utilized for long-distance pipeline transportation. Beyond facilitating medium flow control, these valves also perform ancillary functions such as drainage, cleaning, overpressure management, lubricant injection, and leakage inspection.

Product Specifications

API 6D pipeline valves and high-pressure valves offered by Sunrise Petro predominantly comprise gate valves, plug valves, ball valves, and check valves. The valve bodies are constructed from alloy, stainless steel, or carbon steel, while sealing components are crafted from polymer materials or nitrile rubber.
