Standard for leakage testing automatic on-off valve
2010-11-08
For automatic on-off valve(ball valve), should I test seat leakage according to standard ANSI FCI 70-2(similar with Globe control valve) or API-598 (similar to all type manual valves).
For on-off ball valves, use ASME B16.34 or API-598. Only case I can think of for using FCI 70-2 (control valves) is if you happen to have a metal seated, characterized insert or other specialty ball valve that is designed to be used as a control valve.
