However, it is offered to

6、 provide background information.ASSE Product Standards are developed in the interest of consumer safety.In potable water supply systems, there are many varied conditions which can develop and cause a reversal of the normal direction of flow (backflow) in the water supply lines. By this reversal of d

7、irection of flow, water from unintended sources can enter and contaminate the potable water in the supply lines and potable water source.There are two basic types of backflow, identified by the two conditions that cause it:(1) Backpressure backflow is a reversal of the normal direction of flow in th

8、e pipe line due to a condition which causes the pressure in the system being supplied to become greater than that in the supply line; the system pressure being always above atmospheric.(2) Backsiphonage backflow is a reversal of the normal direction of flow in the pipe line due to a negative pressur

9、e (vacuum) being created in the supply line with the backflow source subject to atmospheric pressure.The type of occupancy of the premises, the design and construction of the system, and the manner in which it is used are major influences on the possible incidence of backflow. Consequently, the degr

10、ee of the hazard to which persons may be exposed varies from discomfort and minor illness, to fatal, if the backflow of contaminants into the potable water system is not completely prevented.Due to the many variables in systems, devices of different performance characteristics are needed; each tailo

11、red to the system and its protection needs. This standard covers two (2) types of devices, which are identified as Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventers (RP) and Reduced Pressure Principle Fire Protection Backflow Preventers (RPF). The RP and the RPF are identical in their backflow protecti

12、on. The RPF, which was added to this standard in 1999, has specific performance requirements relating to its use on fire protection systems.This standard is a composite of the most practical and effective behavioral characteristics for devices of this type, drawn on the experience of engineers, manu

13、facturers, public health officials and others who are knowledgeable in this field and who have the responsibility of protecting our potable water supplies.Although many of the material specifications are detailed within Section 4.1 of this standard, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer and t

14、he installer to comply with the relevant jurisdictional requirements.iv Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventers andReduced Pressure Principle Fire Protection Backflow PreventersASSE 1013-2011The working group, which developed this standard revision, was set up within the framework of the Prod

15、uct Standards Committee of the American Society of Sanitary Engineering.Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of this working group and of the support of the manufacturers who participated in meetings for this standard.This standard does not imply ASSEs endorsement of a product whic

16、h conforms to these requirements.Compliance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any code body.It is recommended that these devices be installed consistent with local codes by qualified and trained professionals.This standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the

17、American National Standards Institute (ANSI).This edition was approved by the ASSE Board of Directors on August 9, 2011 as an ASSE standard.Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventers and vReduced Pressure Principle Fire Protection Backflow Preventers ASSE 1013-2011Joseph FugeloProduct Standards
