39、ed on the lever of the valve) (see 3.3.3). 5 Inspection and methods of test 5.1 Inspection and sequence of tests 5.1.1 Inspection Visually examine each float valve for compliance with all the requirements of the specification for which tests to assess compliance are not given in 5.3-5.12 (inclusive)

40、. 5.1.2 Sequence of tests Carry out the tests in 5.3-5.8 (inclusive) in the order in which they are given. 5.2 Conditioning Before conducting the tests, condition the completely assembled float valve by placing it for approximately 72 h in an air oven maintained at a temperature of 60 2 C. Then remo

41、ve the valve from the oven and allow it to cool to approximate ambient temperature. 5.3 Test on levers Remove the lever from the float valve, so rigidly clamp the lever at the end that attaches to the valve that the lever is held horizontal and in an inverted position. Then gradually apply to the fr

42、ee end a vertical load equal to 1,5 times the lifting effort (full buoyancy) of the float with which it is intended to operate. Maintain the test load for 3 min and then remove the load. Examine the lever for compliance with 3.4.5(a). 5.4 Rate of flow test 5.4.1 Equipment a) Mains water supply: A su

43、pply of water which is at a temperature of 20 5 C and is controlled by a flow control valve and which is at a pressure of 2 000 20 kPa. The water shall be delivered through a pipe system terminating in a flow conditioning chamber. b) A flow meter, calibrated and accurate to within 2 % of the flow ra

44、te to be measured. SANS 752:2009 Edition 2.6 8 c) Flow conditioning chamber: A steel pipe of length at least 500 mm and having an inside diameter of approximately 70 mm and having both ends reduced to a size appropriate to the valve under test. The centre of the pipe shall be furnished with a pressu

45、re gauge and an air bleed cock. 5.4.2 Procedure So connect the flow meter and the float valve to the water supply that the flow meter will measure the rate of flow of water delivered by the float valve. Ensure that the lever of the float valve is in its fully open position. Turn on the water supply.

46、 So adjust the water supply that the pressure indicated at the flow conditioning chamber is the appropriate pressure for the valve under test (see 3.5.1). Determine the flow rate in litres per minute. In the case of a 15 mm float valve, repeat the test using the higher water pressure. Check for comp

47、liance with 3.5.1. 5.5 Body strength test Connect the inlet shank of the float valve to a water supply at a pressure of 3 000 100 kPa, the water flow being controlled by a control valve. Using any convenient means, keep the float valve closed at the seat and open the control valve. After 30 s close

48、the control valve and examine the float valve for compliance with 3.5.2. 5.6 Impact test 5.6.1 Equipment a) Tank: A rigidly secured open tank or cistern in which the float valve under test can be fitted as in normal use. b) Sphere: A solid steel ball of mass 500 10 g. 5.6.2 Procedure Install the flo

49、at valve (without a float and lever) in the tank, clamp it, and hand-tighten the back nut as far as it will go. So drop the steel ball three times, from a height of 1,0 m, that it strikes the body of the float valve (not the inlet shank) at a distance of 12 mm from the body flange or from the end of the thread on the inlet shank, as relevant. Examine the float valve for compliance with 3.5.5. 5.7 Torque test 5.7.1 Equipment a) Tank: As in 5.6.1(a). b) Clamp: A rigidly mounted clamp (or similar device) by means of which any movement of the body of a float valve secur
