6、are developed in the interest of consumer safety.Water distribution systems are equipped with air valves and air vents at multiple locations to release and admit air into pipelines and reservoirs to allow filling and draining, control surges, and maintain flow efficiency. If the valve or reservoir o

7、utlets become flooded or are the target of malicious tampering, the air entry point may be compromised and allow the entry of floodwater or the intentional introduction of a contaminate to the water system. The Air Valve and Vent Inflow Preventer is directly connected to air valve outlets and reserv

8、oir vent pipes. This device is normally open to allow unrestricted airflow in and out of pipelines and reservoirs during normal conditions. When a flood occurs, a float-operated closure member automatically closes to prevent the entry of contaminated fluids. A redundant, float-operated closure membe

9、r automatically closes if the first one fails. The device is mounted in or near air valve vaults or reservoir vents. Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of the working group and of the support of the manufacturers who also participated in the meetings for this standard.This standa

39、 this test is to demonstrate the assemblys ability to withstand a pressure of 50.0 psi ( 344.7 kPa) or two (2) times the manufacturers maximum rated working pressure, whichever is greater.3.1.2 ProcedureSecure the assembly in the inverted orientation (to hold the floats off of the seats) and block t

40、he outlet with an ex-pandable plug or blind flange as shown in Figure 1. Connect a water supply at ambient temperature to the inlet of the assembly, and fill the assembly completely by bleeding air out of the top test cock. Apply a pressure of 50.0 psi ( 344.7 kPa) or two (2) times the manufacturers

41、 maximum rated working pressure, whichever is greater, for ten (10) minutes. Examine the assembly for leaks.Figure 13.1.3 CriteriaAny leaks through the body or the body flanges or indications of damage shall result in a rejection of the assembly.3.2 Water Tightness Test of Float-Operated Checks3.2.1

42、 PurposeThe purpose of this test is to demonstrate the float checks ability to provide a water tight seal at low pressures.6 Air Valve and Vent Inflow PreventerASSE Standard #1063 - 20083.2.2 ProcedureConnect the test apparatus with a 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) diameter riser tube as shown in Figure 2. Bloc
