ISO 10434:2004 specifies the requirements for a heavy-duty series of bolted bonnet steel gate valves for petroleum refinery and related applications where corrosion, erosion and other service conditions would indicate a need for full port openings, heavy wall sections and large stem diameters. It sets forth the requirements for the following gate valve features: bolted bonnet; outside screw and yoke; rising stems; nonrising handwheels; single or double gate; wedge or parallel seating; metallic seating surfaces; flanged or butt-welding ends.
