Parker Hannifin, a premium motion and control technologies provider headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio has introduced a complete range of valves that conform to the API 6A specification for Christmas tree and wellhead applications.
For years, Parker has offered a range of double block and bleed process to instrument valves in 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi) and 10,000 psi maximum rated working pressures. The needle valve version is already available in all three pressure ratings (5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 psi) but the ball valve version has only been available in 5,000 and 10,000 psi until now.
