API 600 vs API 602 valve

RE: API 600 vs API 602 valve

- Youre goung from 2" to 2": no issue there, unless you require something else.
- Youre goung from RF to RF: no issue there, unless you require something else.
- Youre goung from Cl. 150 to Cl. 150: no issue there, unless you require something else.
- Youre goung from gate to gate: dont see the issue.
- Youre goung from a CF304 (i.e. 304) casting to a 304, which I assume is a forging: for these sizes I dont see an issue.
- Youre goung from API 600 to API 602: not sure if that's an issue.

What exactly is the background of your question and what answer do you hope to hear from us?

RE: API 600 vs API 602 valve

API 602 is for 4" and smaller forged "compact" steel gate valves.
Like API 600 the spec details valve design/construction criteria as well as material/trim designations.
