Frequently Asked Questions

What does ASME cover?

American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Issues B16 standards for valve dimensions and ratings: B16.34 (valves - flanged, threaded, and welding end), B16.5 (pipe flanges and flanged fittings), B16.10 (face-to-face dimensions), B16.25 (butt-welding ends).

Which valves require compliance with ASME?

ASME 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 ASME-compliant test certificates.

Does Vajra Industrial Solutions supply ASME-compliant valves?

Yes. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies industrial valves with third-party inspection and full documentation packages including material test certificates (MTC/EN 10204 3.1), hydrostatic test reports to the applicable standard, and dimensional inspection records.
