Hi Guys! I am having a hard time understanding the description in ASME B16.34.
We placed an order for 14" Cl 2500 BW gate valve, in the order, it does not specify RB or FB, now the manufacturer considered it as reduced port (12" Port), so the valve has a 14" ID on end connections and 12" ID of flow passage and they claimed they referenced Table A-1 in Nonmandatory Appendix A. But I found that section 6.1.2 specifies that the inside diameter shall not be less than 90% of the basic inside diameter. Can any body help me, please?
