Video In-Service Considerations for FE-Compliant Valves
Key guidance for ensuring the ongoing fugitive emissions–qualified performance of facility valve populations.
GROVE B7
Valves
The B7 valve identifies the side-entry ball valve ASME Class 2500. Because of the high pressure and strong force involved, material selection is carried out by paying particular attention to the antiextrusion features of the gaskets and to the resistance of the ball and stem materials.
