Hello,
I have an application where a client has both API 602/600 gate valves in their specification. It seems as though most valve manufacturers prefer to offer forged gate valves per API 602 when size is below 2" NPS. What should I be comparing when considering whether a small bore gate valve be designed per API 602 or API 600? This is H2S service and valves must be meet NACE requirements.
TIA.
