API 6D Valve Leak Rate
API 6D Valve Leak Rate
(OP)
I have some valves that are leaking under approx 80 psig. They are 3" steel ball valves with a PFE seat, 1/4 turn with a stainless full port ball. The spec sheet says they are designed to API 6D and were tested with API 598. What is the designed leakage rate from new? Where would I find the API specs on this? thx!
