API 6A for Gate Valve ? different of API 6D

[pico]

Hi,
I need to know if our valves are conform to API 6A.
We know well API 6D but not 6A.
In this case, it's about Gate valve API10000.
Please, if you know some important and severe difference, advise me.
Thank you.

Regards,

J-F

There are a number of differences most notably in material, quality, and testing requirements. I suggest you get a hold of a copy of API 6A.

The 10000 psi rating is an API 6A rating, and does not exist in 6D. To know if your particular valve meets 6A, you might just call the manufacturer and obtain documentation and literature.

1. API 6A Wellhead

2. API 6A/14D 2K to 15K (Pressure Rating)
