We are pleased to announce a significant milestone for our partners at FITOK: the company has officially been awarded API 6D certification (Certificate No.: 6D-2240) by the American Petroleum Institute.

As the exclusive authorised distributor for FITOK in the UK and Ireland, we are proud to offer our customers certified, world-class valve solutions that meet the highest standards of the global oil and gas industry.

Why API 6D Certification Matters

The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the gold standard for the global energy sector. API 6D is the definitive technical specification for pipeline valves, including ball, check, gate, and plug valves. It dictates the most rigorous requirements for:

• Design and Manufacturing: Ensuring structural integrity under extreme conditions.
• Performance: Validating sealing integrity and pressure resistance.
• Complex Configurations: Covering essential safety and flow designs like Block and Bleed (BB), Double Block and Bleed (DBB), and Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB).

What This Means for Your Projects

FITOK’s successful certification confirms that their ball valve range adheres to elite international standards regarding material selection, advanced welding processes, non-destructive testing and pressure testing.

By choosing FITOK products through NVFCL, you are selecting:

• Proven Reliability: Products that have passed the most demanding inspection criteria in the industry.
• Global Compliance: Equipment that is ready for international oil, gas, and energy infrastructure markets.
• Local Expertise: The assurance of certified, high-performance hardware, supported by NVFCL’s dedicated technical service and regional inventory.

FITOK continues to innovate and expand its presence in the fluid control sector, and this certification is a testament to their manufacturing quality. We are excited to bring this enhanced level of assurance to our UK and Irish clients.
