Valve pressure marking standard

[blakej]

Hi,
I'm looking for a standard (CGA, ANSI, ISI, etc.) which lays out requirements for the marking of pressure ratings on shut off valves (which aren't cylinder valves) in the USA. Does anyone know what it is or if it even exists? Any insights are much appreciated.
Thanks!

ASME B16.34 is a pretty complete standard for piping, fittings, and valves regarding pressure and temperature rating. There's also B16.5.

API Spec 6D gives the requirements and recommendations for the design, manufacturing, testing and documentation of ball, check, gate and plug valves for application in pipeline systems. (as per Eng. toolbox)

The API 60x (that is, 600, 609, etc) are standards for various types of valves.

ASME 31.3 for Process Piping might be useful as well, or 31.1 for power piping (typically dealing with boilers/high pressure and temperature fluid piping)

EDIT: Jeez, how could I forget BPVC (Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code) Sections II and VIII.

Thanks for the suggestions Travis! I will check out those standards.

There are a couple more API standards regarding the procurement of valves and fittings but I don't remember which ones they are. Maybe someone with more experience in the manufacturing of valves will chime in, I'm more on the end-user side.
