20、y with the requirements for that component. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standar

21、d. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities.

24、 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard, the following denitions apply. 5.2 MAIN VALVE The part of the valve assembly that controls the ow of water. 5.3 MAXIMUM SET PRESSURE RATING The maximum pressure at which the valve is intended to be set to relieve pressure from a water supply system. 5.

25、4 PILOT VALVE The part of the valve assembly that controls the operating of the main valve. 5.5 RESEAT PRESSURE The internal pressure at which the relief valve is intended to prevent the ow of water. 5.6 SET PRESSURE The internal pressure at which the main valve is intended to start to allow the ow

26、of water. CONSTRUCTION 6 Sizes 6.1 Valve sizes refer to the nominal diameter of the waterway through the end connections and to the nominal pipe trade size for which the end connections are intended. The diameter of the waterway through the seat of a valve may be reduced below that of the waterway t

27、hrough the end connections. 7 Maximum Set Pressure Rating 7.1 A valve shall be constructed for a maximum set pressure rating of 175 psi (1200 kPa) or higher. 8 Bodies and Bonnets 8.1 A valve body casting of the globe or angle pattern shall be smooth, free from porosity, scale, lumps, cracks, blister

28、s, sand holes, and defects of any nature which may impair its intended operation. A casting shall not be plugged or lled, but impregnation to remove porosity, using material insoluble to the liquid handled, is acceptable. 8.2 The dimensions of a ange, ange pipe joint, and threaded body opening shall

29、 comply with the requirements of the following standards: a) Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch) ANSI/ASME B1.20.1; b) Dry Seal Pipe Threads (Inch) ANSI/ASME B1.20.3; and c) Cast Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings, Class 25, 125, 250, and 800 ANSI/ASME B16.1 MAY 13, 2004 FIRE PUMP RELIEF VALVES

30、 - UL 1478 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 8.3 The bolting of pressure-holding castings shall be such that the maximum stress on any bolt will not exceed one-fourth the elastic limit of the material. The load on the bolts is

31、 to be computed on the basis of the valves maximum set pressure rating. The area of application of pressure is to be calculated as follows: a) If a full face gasket is used, the area of force application is that area extending out to a line dened by the inner edge of the bolts. b) If an O ring seal

32、or ring gasket is used, the area of force application is that area extending out to the center line of the O ring or gasket. 9 Materials 9.1 A part that bears against, rotates within, or slides on stationary parts, and that must be free to move during valve operation, shall be made of compatible cor

33、rosion-resistant materials, or shall be tted with bushings, inserts, or other parts made of these corrosion-resistant materials at those points where freedom of motion is required. 9.2 An interior bolt or screw shall be made of bronze or other corrosion-resistant material. 9.3 An internal spring use

34、d in a re pump relief valve shall be made of material having corrosion resistance equivalent to that of phosphor bronze and shall not be susceptible to stress corrosion. 10 Valve Mechanisms 10.1 An internal working part which may be removed during intended maintenance shall be removable without dama

35、ging the valve and without requiring the use of special tools. 10.2 A valve part that is disassembled in eld servicing shall be of a form that permits its accurate reassembly. 10.3 All parts within the valve shall be secured so they will resist separation in intended use. 10.4 A diaphragm-operated v

36、alve shall incorporate a check valve or equivalent in the trim to prevent air from entering the diaphragm chamber. 10.5 A diaphragm-operated valve shall have a pressure gauge to determine the pressure in the diaphragm chamber. A tapped opening of not less than 1/4 inch pipe size in the valve cover s

37、hall be used to accommodate the pressure gauge. 10.6 If an orice with a diameter less than 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) is used in the trim or operation of a valve, a screen or strainer with corrosion resistance equivalent to brass shall be provided. The total area of the openings in the screen or strainer sh

38、all be not less than 20 times the cross-sectional area of the opening that the screen or strainer is intended to protect. The largest dimension of the screen or strainer openings shall not exceed 1/32-inch (0.8-mm) less than the diameter of the protected orice. MAY 13, 2004 FIRE PUMP RELIEF VALVES -

40、s not result in sluggish action or otherwise impaired operation of the valve. 11.2 The clearance between a valve disc or a part attached thereto and the inside walls of iron body castings in every position of the valve disc, except fully open, shall be not less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). This clearanc

41、e shall be not less than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) for valves having bodies of bronze or equivalently corrosion-resistant material. PERFORMANCE 12 General 12.1 Representative samples of each size re pump relief valve shall be subjected to the tests described in these requirements. 12.2 Test bars of metal us

42、ed in castings and additional samples of parts constructed of nonmetallic materials, such as valve seat discs, are required for physical tests. 13 Metallic Materials 13.1 Specimen bars of metals used shall be prepared from the same heat or run of metal used in the bodies and covers of valve samples

43、submitted for investigation and test. The specimen bars shall comply with the requirements specied in 20.1(a). 14 Elastomeric Parts (Except Gaskets) Test 14.1 An elastomeric part used to provide a seal shall have the following properties when tested as specied in the Standard for Gaskets and Seals,

44、UL 157: a) For silicone rubber (having poly-organo-siloxane as its constituent characteristic), a minimum tensile strength of 500 psi (3.4 MPa) and a minimum ultimate elongation of 100 percent. b) For natural rubber and synthetic rubber other than silicone rubber, a minimum tensile strength of 1500

45、psi (10.3 MPa) and minimum ultimate elongation of 150 percent; or a minimum tensile strength of 2200 psi (15.2 MPa) and a minimum ultimate elongation of 100 percent. c) Those properties relating to maximum tensile set; minimum tensile strength and elongation after oven aging; and hardness after oven

46、 aging, all as specied in UL 157. The maximum service temperature used to determine the oven time and temperature for oven aging is considered to be 60C (140F). 14.2 The Standard for Gaskets and Seals, UL 157, provides for the testing of either nished elastomeric parts or sheet or slab material. She

47、et or slab material is to be tested when the elastomeric parts are O-rings having diameters of less than 1 inch (25.4 mm). The material tested is to be the same as that used in the product, regardless of whether nished elastomeric parts or sheet or slab material is tested. MAY 13, 2004 FIRE PUMP REL
