Degas, I believe you are looking for API 608. I do not have a copy here so I can’t tell you for sure that it covers class 800 ball valves. If I recall correctly it does. About downloading it for free, the API standards are not free and they are copyrighted documents. It would not be ethical for anyone to provide an unauthorized copy of the document. Perhaps someone in this forum has a copy and might be able to answer a specific question if you have one. Or, at least verify that API 608 is the correct document for the ball valves you are looking for.
Does ISO 17292, “Metal ball valves for petroleum, petrochemical and allied industries,” reference API 608? I think that JLSeagull had it correctly when he mentioned the only reference to #800 valves listed in B16.34 states that it is not a tabulated ASME B16.34 designation. This is correct because it is an API classification.
Not sure how ASME/ANSI B16.24 - 1991 (R1998) - Cast Copper Alloy Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings, has anything to do with steel ball valve for the petrochemical industry.
Also, do not confuse an API #800 valve with an 800 lb WOG valve. The WOG has a working pressure of 800 psi whereas the API #800 is something close to 2000 psi if not 2000 psi. I just remember it being 2000 psi.
Again, I have never heard of an ASME # 800 ball valve. If someone can point me to an ASME standard showing allowable pressure, temp, ect. I would appreciate it. TechStreet lists ANSI/API 608 Metal Ball Valves - Flanged and Butt-Welding Ends, Edition: 3, American Petroleum Institute, 01-Aug-2002. A lot of ANSI specs were changed in name to ASME; however, I looked for the spec in ASME and could not find it. Perhaps Degas was looking for ANSI/API and got the name mixed up.
