GB/T 12237-2021 is the English-translated version of 石油、石化及相关工业用的钢制球阀.
GB/T 12237-2021 is the Chinese national standard on steel ball valves for petroleum, petrochemical and allied industries, in the field of fluid systems and general-purpose components. The /T suffix marks it as a recommended standard: it is not compulsory by itself, but it becomes binding as soon as a contract, a tender or a customer specification calls it up - which in practice is how most foreign buyers meet it. It was issued on 9 March 2021 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 October 2021. Classification: ICS 23.060.10, CCS J16. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part
1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting. This document replaces GB/T 12237-2007 "Steel Ball Valves for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Related Industries", and is consistent with GB/T 12237-2007 Compared with the editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) Expanded the scope of application of the ball valve and increased the pound level requirements, increased the applicable structure and applicable temperature requirements (see Chapter 1,.2007 Chapter 1 of the Year Edition);
b) The requirements for overpressure in the valve body cavity have been added (see 5.1.3);
c) Modified the minimum cross-sectional area requirements for the connection between the valve bodies (see 5.6.8,
5.6.6 in the.2007 edition);
d) The stuffing box requirement (
5.12.2 of the.2007 edition) has been deleted;
e) The limit requirements of the operating mechanism have been added (see 5.12.3);
f) The material requirements have been revised (see Chapter 6, Chapter 6 of the.2007 edition). Please note that some of the contents of this document may involve patents.
