Use full bore for applications where pressure drop should be minimum (such as in the suction pipe of a pump with required NPSH very close to available NPSH), or for pipes which could be cleaned with a pig (so that the pig doesn't get stuck on the valve). In other applications a reduced bore should be OK.

Does API 6D specifically indicate full bore opening?

API 6D does not specifically mandate a full bore opening for all valves; however, it does specify that ball and gate valves should provide a full bore option to facilitate pipeline cleaning and maintenance. The standard emphasizes the importance of flow characteristics and pressure drop, which are often best achieved with full bore designs. Ultimately, the choice of valve type and design may depend on the application and system requirements.


What is full bore meter?

A full bore meter is a type of flow meter designed to measure the flow of liquids or gases through a pipe without any restrictions in diameter. This design allows the fluid to flow freely, minimizing pressure loss and ensuring accurate measurement. Full bore meters are often used in applications where maintaining the original pipe diameter is crucial for efficiency and accuracy, such as in water supply systems and industrial processes. Common types of full bore meters include electromagnetic and ultrasonic flow meters.
