Where are API 6A Ball Valves Used?

GVS API 6A Ball Valves are primarily used in upstream Oil & Gas operations, particularly in wellhead assemblies, choke and kill systems, and high-pressure Christmas trees. They are designed to handle extreme pressures—up to 15,000 PSI—and harsh environments, making them ideal for controlling flow directly at the well site. These valves provide reliable isolation for fracturing operations, testing manifolds, and production trees where safety and pressure integrity are critical.

Wellheads & Christmas Trees: Providing isolation and shut-off for oil and gas production at the surface.
Fracturing & Testing Manifolds: Managing flow and pressure control during hydraulic fracturing and well testing.
Choke & Kill Lines: Controlling flow in critical safety systems during drilling and production operations.
High-Pressure Injection: Handling aggressive fluids at pressures up to 15,000 PSI.

API 6A ball valves are engineered for use in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) upstream oil and gas environments where safety and pressure integrity are essential.
