I would like to seek advice from those who are more experienced in valves

Name and specifications: Q85HS9W-J262, CL1500, SMLS. Technical requirements: A216-WCC. Trim material: 17-4PH. Ball material: HASTELLOY. CL1500, SMLS, BW. Standard: AP1608M. End fittings: BB-F-TE-NB. Pressure rating: SCH160. Hard seal. Could someone who understands this please help me interpret it? Where is this valve used? What types of media are it suitable for?
Is it the manufacturer’s brand name every day? It is recommended to search for the product manual on the official website using the brand name, and to review each item according to the manufacturer’s definitions
The technical specifications for the valve have been provided; the nameplate is not available yet. It is necessary to know in advance what purpose this valve serves and where it will be used
Ask the person who gave you the suggestion first
It’s a floating hard-sealed ball valve with sleeves; you need to ask the user about the medium used. The valve body is made of WCC, the stem is made of 17-4, and the ball is made of Hastelloy. I guess the temperature isn’t low
American standard valves according to API608 standards: Q: Ball valves; 8: 1500 pounds; Octagonal metal gaskets/OCTAGON TYPE 5: BB-F-TE-NB: Stem-connected body, full bore, top-mounted, fixed ball; H: Worm gear drive; S9: Sch160; W: BW: Butt weld/Joint weld; J2: Valve bodies made of cast carbon steel ASTM A352-LCB； But below it you write A216-WCC; this code is J1. 62: Valve seat sealing surface made of STELLITE; ball sealing surface made of 17-4PH; valve stem made of 17-4PH. Is the ball material Hastelloy?
The technical specifications provided by the design institute contain the instructions for use. This includes the use of codes and abbreviations to explain various aspects – materials, types of flange sealing surfaces, end connection methods, structural features, drive mechanisms, packing, gaskets, valve sealing surfaces... There is a lot of content to cover. In particular, different design institutes have different codes. So, it’s better to consult the design firm.
This parameter can generally be found, or you can ask which supplier it is from
The code is determined by the design institute; in China, Q generally refers to ball valves； A216-WCC cast material (higher grade, capable of withstanding greater corrosion; valves are usually made of WCB), while the corresponding forged material is generally A350 forged material ； 17-4PH is a standard stainless steel valve stem that is very commonly used; it has a moderate price ； The sphere is made of Hastelloy ； It is presumed to be used at the wellhead or on the injection pipeline
