ASME B16.34 Design & Manufacturing Compliance | Needle Valves – Perfect Engineers

What is ASME B16.34?

ASME B16.34 is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ standard titled:

“Valves – Flanged, Threaded, and Welding End”

It defines the design requirements for:

  • Wall thickness
  • Pressure-temperature ratings
  • Body and bonnet design
  • Material selection and marking
  • Testing and quality assurance

At Perfect Engineers, we incorporate ASME B16.34 guidelines into every stage of valve manufacturing, especially for high-pressure needle valves.
