API, JIS, DIN, GOST check valves
API, JIS, DIN, and GOST Check Valves,Check valves manufactured according to API, JIS, DIN, and GOST standards embody the design principles and application emphases of their respective industrial systems. The core differences among these standards lie in structural dimensions, pressure ratings, testing specifications, and material requirements.
API Standards: Centered on API 6D (Pipeline Valves) and API 594 (Wafer Check Valves), API standards emphasize high pressure, high safety, and long-term reliability. They typically feature swing or dual-disc designs, robust construction, and rigorous testing (e.g., API 598), making them suitable for oil and gas pipelines, refining facilities, and petrochemical plants.
JIS Standards: Primarily based on JIS B2072 and B2082, JIS standards are widely used in Japan and across Asia. Their dimensions are highly compatible with ISO standards, offering compact and lightweight designs. These valves are commonly applied in shipbuilding, general industrial machinery, water treatment, and building pipeline systems.
DIN Standards: Representing the European industrial system, DIN standards are centered on the DIN 3356 series (for check valves) and DIN EN series. They are widely used in process industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, and water treatment, emphasizing interchangeability with European pipeline components.
GOST Standards: Following specifications like ГОСТ 27477, GOST standards are mandatory in Russia and CIS markets. Their structural dimensions and pressure ratings form a unique system, generally not interchangeable with API, DIN, or JIS standards. Compliance with GOST is essential for entering energy and chemical projects in these regions.
