13、nse with ASME Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-FOREWORDThe B16 Standards Committee was organized in the spring of 1920 and held its organizationalmeeting on November 21 of that year. The group operated as a Sectional Committee (laterredesignated as a

14、 Standards Committee) under the authorization of the American EngineeringStandards Committee subsequently named American Standards Association, United States ofAmerica Standards Institute, and now American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Sponsorsfor the group were the American Society of Mechan

15、ical Engineers, Manufacturers StandardizationSociety of the Valve and Fittings Industry, and the Heating and Piping Contractors NationalAssociation (later the Mechanical Contractors Association of America).The American Gas Association determined that standardization of gas valves used in distribu-ti

16、on systems was desirable and needed. The A.G.A. Task Committee on Standards for Valvesand Shutoffs was formed, and development work commenced in 1958. In 1968, it was determinedthat a more acceptable document would result if approval were gained from ANSI, and to facilitatesuch action, the A.G.A. Co

17、mmittee became Subcommittee No. 13 of the B16 activity. This B16group was later renamed Subcommittee L, which is its current designation.The first standard developed by Subcommittee L was B16.33. The B16.38 standard was subse-quently developed to cover larger sizes of gas valves and shutoffs. Since

18、about 1965, the increaseduse of plastic piping in gas distribution systems brought with it the need for valves and shutoffsof compatible material. To fill this need, the present standard was developed and initially appearedas ANSI B16.40-1977. Subcommittee L began review of this document in 1982.In

19、ANSI/ASME B16.40-1985, editorial changes were made throughout the text to bring theformat in line with the rest of the B16 series of standards and to clarify the intent of this Standard.Revisions included the addition of rules for allowable pressure at temperatures above 74F forvalves of certain mat

20、erials, updating of reference standards, and editorial changes to text andtables.In 2001, after several years and iterations, B16 Subcommittee L produced a fully reviseddocument. Among the many revisions were a new Definitions section, a new Impact Resistancesection, and a nonmandatory Quality Syste

28、) This Standard covers manually operated thermo-plastic valves in nominal valve sizes12through 12. Thesevalves are intended for use below ground in thermoplas-tic fuel gas distribution mains and service lines. Themaximum operating pressure (MOP) at which such dis-tribution piping systems may be oper

29、ated is in accor-dance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title49, Part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas byPipeline; Minimum Safety Standards, for temperatureranges of 20F to 140F (29C to 60C).(b) This Standard sets qualification requirements foreach basic valve design as a neces

30、sary condition fordemonstrating conformance to this Standard.(c) This Standard sets requirements for newly manu-factured valves for use in below-ground piping systemsfor fuel gas includes synthetic natural gas (SNG) andliquefied petroleum (LP) gases (distributed as a vapor,with or without the admixt

31、ure of air) or mixtures thereof.1.2 ReferencesStandards and specifications referenced under thisStandard are shown in Mandatory Appendix II.1.3 ConversionFor the purpose of determining conformance with thisStandard, the convention for fixing significant digits,where limits maximum or minimum values

32、are speci-fied, shall be “rounded off” as defined in ASTMPractice E 29. This requires that an observed or calcu-lated value shall be rounded off to the nearest unit inthe last right-hand digit used for expressing the limit.Decimal values and tolerances do not imply a particularmethod of measurement.

33、1.4 Relevant UnitsThe values stated in either inch or metric units are tobe regarded separately as standard. Within the text, thevalues stated in each system are not exact equivalents;therefore, each system must be used independently ofthe other. Combining values from the two systems mayresult in no

34、nconformance with the Standard.11.5 Definitionsbasic valve design: for a given valve design, each variationin material, size, or configuration of molded pressure-containing parts shall constitute a different basic valvedesign, except where minor design variations are pro-duced by differences in mach

35、ining of the same moldedpiece(s) to produce different end sizes or dimensionalratios (DRs).DR: the dimensional ratio defined as the pipe outsidediameter (O.D.) divided by the pipe wall thickness, t.DR p O.D./t.DRv: the valve DR equivalent is the designated valveDR based on the lowest DR of the ASTM

41、e responsibility of the manufacturer.2.2 Materials2.2.1 Valve Shell. The pressure-containing valveshell shall be made from either polyethylene (PE) orpolyamide 11 (PA-11) materials specified in and quali-fied to the requirements for pipe and fittings as listedin ASTM D 2513.2.2.2 Parts Other Than th

42、e Valve Shell. Parts otherthan the valve shell, which contribute to pressure con-tainment or retaining differential pressure across theclosure element, shall be resistant to the gases in para.1.1(c). Such parts shall be designed to withstand normalvalve-operating loads and, in addition, shall provid

43、elong-term pressure-containment integrity consistentwith the valve shell. The sustained pressure tests of para.6.3.3 shall qualify the design and material selected forthese parts, which include, but are not limited to, theclosure member, stems or shafts (if they are designedto retain pressure), and

44、fasteners retaining shell sections.2.2.3 Lubricants and Sealants. Lubricants and seal-ants shall be resistant to the action of gases referred toin para. 1.1(c). Lubricated valves, as defined in para. 1.5,are not within the scope of this Standard.2.2.4 Responsibility. When service conditions, suchas

45、gases having high hydrogen content or compoundslikely to form condensate, dictate special materials con-siderations, it is the users responsibility to specify thisinformation to the manufacturer.3 CONFIGURATION3.1 Operating Indication(a) Valves designed for one-quarter turn operationshall be designe

46、d to visually show the open and closedposition of the valve. A rectangular stem head withan arrow thereon or a separate position indicator shallindicate the closed position of the valve port when thelongitudinal axis of the stem head or indicator is perpen-dicular to the axis of the connecting pipe.

47、 If a separateindicator is used, it shall be designed such that it cannotbe assembled to incorrectly indicate the position of thevalve.(b) Valves designed for more than one-quarter turnoperation shall close by clockwise stem rotation, unlessotherwise specified by the user. The direction for closingt

48、he valve shall be indicated.23.2 Valve End DesignValve ends shall be designed to one or more of thefollowing, unless otherwise specified by the user:(a) PE or PA-11 valve stub-ends that conform to theapplicable dimensions of ASTM D 3261, F 1733, or D 2513(b) polyethylene socket ends that conform to
