What does the “M” after API 600 mean, and what is the difference from the standard API 600?

API 600M is a variant of the API 600 standard, where “M” generally refers to “modified” or “customized”. It may mean that the valve has certain specific requirements or modifications in terms of design, size, material selection, or testing criteria to suit a particular application. Compared to the conventional API 600, API 600M better meets specific engineering or operational requirements. .

The presence of M indicates that metric units are used, such as mm. If not specified, units such as inches are used.
