Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies minimum requirements applicable to design, final assessment, designation, marking and documentation for butterfly valves having metallic bodies for use with all type of pipe end connections (e.g. wafer, lug, flange, butt welding) and used for isolating, regulating or control applications. The PN and Class ranges are: — PN 2,5; PN 6; PN 10; PN 16; PN 25; PN 40; PN 63; PN 100; PN 160; — Class 150; Class 300; Class 600; Class 900. The size range is: — DN 20; DN 25; DN 32; DN 40; DN 50; DN 65; DN 80; DN 100; DN 125; DN 150; DN 200; DN 250; DN 300; DN 350; DN 400; DN 450; DN 500; DN 600; DN 700; DN 750; DN 800; DN 900; DN 1 000; DN 1 050; DN 1 100; DN 1 200; DN 1 400; DN 1 500; DN 1 600; DN 1 800; DN 2 000; DN 2 200; DN 2 400; DN 2 600; DN 2 800; DN 3 000; DN 3 200; DN 3 400; DN 3 600; DN 3 800; DN 4 000. DN 750 and DN 1 050 are used only for Class 150 and Class 300. Intermediate DNs are allowed upon agreement at the time of order. Potential fields of application and their application standards that apply together with this document are listed below: — applications with a maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar in accordance with the European legislation for pressure equipment, the applicable provisions of EN 16668 apply; NOTE 1 Exclusions are given in the European legislation for pressure equipment. — chemical applications, the applicable provisions of EN 12569 apply; — gas distribution systems, the applicable provisions of EN 13774 apply; — water supply application, the provisions of EN 1074-1 and EN 1074-2 apply; — process control application, the provisions of EN 1349 and EN 60534-2-1 apply. NOTE 2 The minimum requirements specified in Clauses 4, 5, 6, 7.1 and 8 are considered as "sound engineering practice" and are to be taken into account to ensure safe use. NOTE 3 The range of DN, applicable to each PN, for wafer and wafer lug valve types is as given in the appropriate part of EN 1092 for Type 11 flanges for the applicable material. The range of DN, applicable to each PN, for flanged valve types is as given in the appropriate part of EN 1092 for Type 21 flanges for the applicable material. The correspondence between DN and NPS is given for information in Annex D.
