13、3:1990 ii BSI 04-1999 Foreword This Part of BS1212 has been prepared under the direction of the Building Services Standards Committee. It is a revision of BS1212-3:1979, which is withdrawn. This Part of BS1212 specifies the operational requirements of diaphragm type float operated valves (plastics b

14、odied) (excluding floats) for use with cold water services only. It is a performance-based specification and the dimensional requirements are solely those essential to ensure fitting and interchangeability of complete valves. The new features incorporated in this revision of BS1212-3 include the fol

15、lowing: a) bottom entry requirements; b) high pressure flow requirements; c) rationalization to one size of float; d) float attachment requirements; e) dynamic pressure test requirements; f) increased shut-off performance requirements. The reference to lever ratio given in BS1212-3:1979 has been del

16、eted. Terms of measurement are expressed in metric units except for pipe thread sizes which are retained in imperial units to accord with BS2779. For plastics floats, the designations specified in BS2456 have been used. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a

17、 contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to16, an inside bac

18、k cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS 1212-3:1990 BSI 04-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope This Part of BS1212 specifies the performance require

20、14bar respectively (see9.1) and intended for use with114S or114NS floats (plastics) conforming to BS2456. NOTE 1The nominal size is that corresponding with the ClassGB pipe thread specified in BS2779. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cov

21、er. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS1212 the following definitions apply. NOTEFor further definitions see BS4118. 2.1 diaphragm type float operated valve a float operated valve in which the flow of water is controlled by the flexing of a diaphragm and which incorporates or is fitted

22、 with a discharge arrangement to conduct water into the cistern to which the float operated valve is to be fitted 2.2 effective warning water level the level when water reaches10mm above the invert of a side entry connection warning pipe or10mm above the overflow level of a bottom connection warning

25、shall be designated by the following: a) the words “diaphragm type float operated valve” followed by the number of this British Standard in the form of BS1212/3. b) whether side or bottom entry is required; c) if bottom entry, the height of the effective warning water level (see Figure 2). Example.

26、“Diaphragm type float operated valve, BS1212/3 bottom entry, H =250mm”. 4 Marking A diaphragm type float operated valve shall be permanently and legibly marked with the following information in such a way as not to deform any working part: a) the number of this British Standard, in the form BS1212/3

27、 2) ; b) the manufacturers name or trade mark; c) the words “cold water only”. 1) 1bar=10 5 N/m 2 =10 5 Pa. 2) Marking BS1212/3 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity,i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements

28、 of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS 1212-3:1990 2 BSI 04-1999 Figure 1 Illustration of effective warnin

31、rated valves shall be manufactured from materials containing, if required, the addition of not more than15% of the manufacturers own clean reworked material complying with this Part of BS1212. No other reworked material shall be used. NOTEWhen choosing plastics materials, manufacturers should take d

32、ue account of the characteristics required for satisfactory use, i.e.mechanical, dimensional and chemical stability. 7 Metals When components are manufactured from metals, the grade of material shall be chosen from the following list: a) backnuts, lever arm or lever arm assembly: BS2874CZ121; or BS2
