Can valves with the same specifications as B16.34 be used as substitutes for API600 valves?

For example, can flanged globe valves of 6\" 600LB manufactured according to these two standards be used as substitutes?

No, the valve body thickness of API600 is much thicker than that of B16.34.

Are the valve body lengths the same? Does the valve body thickness affect its length?

As long as the material, diameter, and pressure rating are the same, and factors such as wall thickness and medium corrosivity are not considered, does the flange spacing and the number of bolt holes have to be the same? If they are the same, they should be interchangeable, right?
