Valves are used across various industries , including oil , natural gas , chemicals , marine and others , to ensure safe flow control . Different types of valves have been developed based on the pipelines they are used in , the properties of the fluids and environmental conditions . Producing and validating these valves in accordance with international standards and regulations is crucial for meeting both production and environmental requirements , as well as ensuring user safety . The API6D standard , established by the American Petroleum Institute , specifies the requirements for pipelines and the valves used in them . Valves used in oil and natural gas pipelines must be manufactured to meet all requirements , considering both the chemical properties of the fluids and their economic values . This article aims to describe the advanced engineering work involved in the design
VALVE DESIGN
Advanced engineering for API6D ball valve design
Design and casting methodology are of significant importance for valve quality and lifespan . In the development and production of valves used in the oil and gas industry , such as API6D Ball Valves , these methodologies positively influence the process of developing applications including static , flow and casting analysis whilst ensuring the validation and reliability of the products .

and production development stages of API6D compliant ball valves , which are designed , produced and tested within our company . It also explains the casting defects encountered during the production phase and the improvements made in the casting methodology .
Valve design process
Valves , depending on the sector in which they are used , may be exposed to conditions such as high pressure , corrosive environments , high
