Submit a professional RFQ→The valve-and-fittings industry technical association announced a revised standard relevant to material, design and procurement documentation.
RFQs should state the required edition and publication date so suppliers do not default to superseded documents.Read analysis →MSS announced a revision covering corrosion-resistant gate, globe, angle and check valves.
Corrosion-resistant valve RFQs should identify material standard, grade, temperature, medium and inspection requirements—not only 'stainless steel'.Read analysis →API's standards plan lists a tenth-edition milestone for its butterfly-valve standard, prompting edition checks in project specifications.
A new edition does not automatically change existing contracts; new projects should confirm the edition, addenda and errata during clarification.Read analysis →MSS announced a new standard addressing valve testing for cryogenic-hydrogen service.
Hydrogen-service selection should separately specify temperature, emissions, material compatibility, test methods and acceptance criteria.Read analysis →ISO's 2026 update lists ISO 5210, ISO 5211 and ISO 22109 for multi-turn, part-turn interfaces and valve gearboxes.
Valve-actuator packages should align flange, drive component, torque/thrust, travel, duty and manual-override requirements.Read analysis →
