A new sample shall be subjected to the specified test.a. The inlet and outlet connections of the valve shall be assembled leak tight to the
27、 appropriate fittings as described below. The length of the inlet fitting shall be such that, after assembly, the dimension from the valve inlet to the end of the inlet fitting will be 13 in (330 mm) 1/2in (12.7 mm). The tightening torque for threaded pipe or tubing connections shall be one-half tha
28、t shown in Table IV, Torques For Turning Effort Test.1. Pipe threaded connections shall be assembled to Schedule 40 iron pipe, or pipe fitting, using non-Teflon type joint compound.2.

29、arbon Steel Tubing Annealed for Bending and Flaring, ANSI/SAE J525, and has a minimum wall thickness of 0.028 in (0.71 mm), using the attachment means specified by the manufacturer.3. Connections designed for other than threaded pipe or tubing shall be assembled to test fixture(s) representative of
30、the intended connection means.b. The valve outlet fitting shall be rigidly supported 1 in (25.4 mm) from the valve outlet, unless the following exceptions apply. When the valve has an integral mounting means independent of the inlet and outlet connections, the valve shall be mounted using the integr
31、al mounting means as specified by the manufacturer. When the valve is intended to be mounted by either the integral mounting means or the valve outlet, the mounting means which produces the most severe test condition shall be used.The valve inlet shall be in the horizontal position.c. A flow-measuri
32、ng device, capable of accurately indicating the allowable leakage rate, shall be connected to the valve inlet fitting. A system, capable of supplying air or gas at the test pressures specified, shall be connected to the inlet of the flow-measuring device. The valve assembly shall then be tested for
33、leakage as specified in 2.2, Leakage, and shall comply.d. With the valve in the closed position, the system shall be pressurized at 21 in wc (5.23 kPa) and the appropriate weight as specified in Table III, Load For Bending Moment Test, shall then be suspended on the inlet fitting, without shock, 12
34、in (305 mm) from the inlet of the valve for 15 minutes. Without removing the weight, the valve shall then be tested for leakage as specified in 2.2, Leakage, except at a maximum pressure of 21 in wc (5.23 kPa).6e. The test in “-d” shall be repeated 3 times with the valve being rotated 90 degrees (1.
35、57 rad) around the horizontal inlet axis between each test. If the application of any bending moment is in a direction that would tend to rotate the valve with respect to the outlet, that bending moment need not be applied. Between tests, the valve shall be cycled on and off 3 times with the weight
36、removed.At the completion of the above tests, the valve shall be removed and examined for deformation and breakage and then subjected to the leakage test as specified in 2.2.1.8.2Turning Effort.A valve or device shall be capable of withstanding, without deformation, breakage or leakage, stresses res
37、ulting from installation of the valve or device.Method of TestThese tests shall be conducted at room temperature. A new sample shall be used for each test.a. A valve with both the inlet and outlet threaded for connection to iron pipe with standard taper pipe threads shall be subjected to the followi
38、ng test.1. A length of new, clean and properly threaded Schedule 40 iron pipe or pipe fitting, as applicable, whose threads have not been lubricated, shall be threaded to the inlet of the closed test valve with the turning effort specified in Table IV, Torques For Turning Effort Test, by gripping th
39、e wrench flats on the valve or any suitable area of the valve if wrench flats are not provided. If wrench flats are provided on both ends of the valve, the inlet end wrench flats shall be used. If wrench flats are not provided, a special tool provided by the valve manufacturer may be used for this t
40、est. With the valve in the closed position, the turning effort shall be applied for 15 minutes and then released.2. The procedure outlined in “-a1” shall be repeated for the outlet of the valve using the outlet wrench flats, if provided.3. The valve, with the inlet and outlet pipes in place, shall b
41、e tested for leakage as specified in 2.2, Leakage, and shall comply. (NOTE: Any leakage due to dry threads shall be disregarded). The inlet and outlet pipes shall then be removed and the valve examined for deformation and breakage.b. A valve with both the inlet and outlet designed for connection to
42、tubing shall be subjected to the following test.1. A length of the proper size of aluminum tubing with the end squared and deburred shall be assembled to the inlet end of the closed test valve with the turning effort specified in Table IV, Torques For Turning Effort Test, using the attachment means
43、specified by the manufacturer.When applying the turning effort, the valve shall be rigidly supported by the wrench flats, or any suitable area on the valve if wrench flats are not provided. If wrench flats are provided on both ends of the valve, the inlet end wrench flats shall be used. With the val
44、ve in the closed position, the turning effort shall be applied to the tubing fitting for 15 minutes and then released.2. The procedure outlined in “-b1” shall be repeated for the outlet of the valve using the outlet wrench flats, if provided.73. The valve, with the inlet and outlet tubing in place,
45、shall be tested for leakage as specified in 2.2, Leakage, and shall comply. The inlet and outlet tubing shall then be removed and the valve examined for deformation and breakage.c. For a valve having only one threaded connection for iron pipe, the pipe thread end shall be tested as in “-a” above, as
46、 appropriate.d. For a valve having only one tubing connection, the tubing connection shall be tested as in -b above, as appropriate.e. A hose-end valve with nozzle terminating in standard pipe thread shall withstand, without deformation, breakage or leakage, a turning effort of 135 in/lb (15.3 N m)
47、applied through the valve body when subjected to the following test.The inlet end of a completely assembled hose-end valve shall be attached to a rigidly supported pipe so that it will be in a position similar to that prevailing in service. The turning effort specified above shall be applied to an e
48、xtra heavy-duty pipe fitting on the hose-end outlet of the valve so that it acts to turn the valve onto the inlet pipe. After this turning effort has been applied for 15 minutes and then released, the valve shall be subjected to the leakage test specified in 2.2, Leakage. The valve shall then be rem
49、oved and examined for deformation and breakage.1.8.3Impact.This test applies only to individual manual valves not incorporated in devices that include other means to control main burner gas.a.
