Hi,

I am looking for information about a forged brass ball valve 400 WOG. I
would appreciate getting references from your company or manufacturing
standards (ASTM or others) about torque testing on the threads of a
two-piece screwed valve, and on the valve external female threads
receiving a screwed pipe.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.
