Frequently Asked Questions
What does API 602 cover?
API standard for compact steel gate valves - NPS 1/2" to 4", designed for smaller bore, higher-pressure instrument and process applications. Shorter face-to-face dimensions than API 600.
Which valves require compliance with API 602?
API 602 compliance is typically required for valves used in oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial process applications where the standard applies. Procurement specifications for EPC projects and operating companies often mandate specific standards as part of the Material Requisition (MR). Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies valves with full certification documentation including API 602-compliant test certificates.
