On December 28, 2018, in Announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (No. 67 of 2018), a number of industry standards are approved and issued. Among these standards, JB/T 13602-2018 Venting Globe Valve standard, which is drafted by Sichuan Changyi Oil and Gas Gathering and Transportation Equipment Co., Ltd. as the first drafting unit, officially announced and implemented on October 1, 2019. This standard specifies the structural type and model compilation, technical requirements, materials, inspection and test methods, inspection rules, marks, protection, packaging, storage and transportation of venting globe valve. The standard is applied for venting globe valve with nominal pressure PN16~PN420, nominal size DN15~DN500, and temperature-46 ℃ ~ 120 ℃.
The promulgation of this standard fills the gap that there is no special standard for the venting globe valve used in the field of natural gas in China for a long time, which is beneficial to the design and manufacture of the standard for valve manufacturers, to the further improvement of serialization and standardization of the product, and to the safety production in oil and gas industry. The implementation of the standard will certainly raise the level of the whole valve industry, to high quality, high-end development.
