The journey of the Neles 6D ball valve to meet latest 25th edition of API 6D took a little more than two years from drawing to reality. It is one more triumph for Valmet’s carefully managed product upgrade program. The valve is based on Neles field-proven technology that has undergone development based on the voice of customer – the starting point for all projects related to our valve technologies.
The Neles 6D valve product family allows Valmet to act as a single source supplier for all the customers’ API 6D ball valve needs. Valmet want to ensure the availability of all versions, sizes, and dimensions. Valmet brought to market a full product range that meets the most recent global Codes and Standards. Also, the offering includes API 6DX compliant actuator and mounting hardware.
In addition to the certified reliable performance and high quality that is expected of any valve carrying the Neles brand, the customers’ carbon footprint and ease of living with the valve were among the aspects the 6D valve was designed to address. The entire valve is manufactured by utilizing responsibly sourced parts and components originating from our carefully selected and closely monitored supply chain.
