ASME B16.35 Ball Control Valve

The ASME B16.35 standard governs the design, materials, testing, and performance of ball control valves for use in pipeline systems. It covers valves of both flanged and butt-welding ends, and it includes requirements for valve pressure-temperature ratings, dimensions, tolerances, materials, nondestructive examination (NDE) methods, marking, and testing. The standard ensures that ball valves manufactured to ASME B16.35 are suitable for a wide range of applications, from low-pressure residential uses to high-pressure industrial applications, providing reliability, safety, and long-term performance in fluid handling and control systems.
