It is the first national standard for valv

10、es for cryogenic service but it is intended that it can only be used in conjunction with the appropriate valve product standard since the requirements and tests specified are additional to those specified in the valve product standards. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessar

11、y provisions of a 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, pages1to

12、8, an inside back 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 the inside front cover.BS6364:1984 BSI 05-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope This British Standard specifies the req

13、uirements for the design, manufacture and testing of valves for cryogenic service. It is a requirement of this standard that the valves comply with the appropriate valve product British Standards, i.e.: steel wedge gate valves: BS 1414; steel check valves: BS 1868; steel globe and globe stop and che

14、ck valves: BS1873; steel ball valves: BS 5351; steel wedge gate, globe and check valves DN 50 and smaller: BS 5352; copper alloy globe, globe stop and check, check and gate valves: BS 5154; testing of valves: BS 6755; butterfly valves for general purposes: BS 5155. The size range covered by this sta

15、ndard is DN 15 to a maximum nominal size appropriate to the above product standards, in the temperature range 50C to 196 C, yet capable of operation at ambient conditions to allow for start-up and run-down. NOTE 1For marine applications where design temperatures are below 165 C attention is drawn to

16、 the need to check requirements with the relevant Statutory Authority. Appendix C lists the information to be supplied by the purchaser. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the

17、following definitions apply. 2.1 nominal size (DN) a numerical designation of size which is common to all components in a piping system other than components designated by outside diameters or by thread size. It is a convenient round number for reference purposes and is only loosely related to manuf

18、acturing dimensions NOTE 1It is designated by DN followed by a number. NOTE 2This definition is in accordance with ISO 6708. 2.2 nominal pressure (PN) a numerical designation relating to pressure that is a convenient round number for reference purposes it is intended that all equipment of the same n

19、ominal size (DN) designated by the same PN number shall have the same mating dimensions appropriate to the type of end connections the permissible working pressure depends upon materials, design and working temperature and has to be selected from the pressure/temperature rating tables in correspondi

20、ng standards NOTE 1It is designated by PN followed by a number. NOTE 2This definition is in accordance with ISO 7268. 3 General requirements Valves shall comply with the appropriate standards listed in clause 1 in addition to clauses 4 to 9 of this standard. Section 2. Design 4 Requirements 4.1 Valv

21、es shall be supplied with extended bonnets/glands (see Figure 1). The length of the extension shall be sufficient to maintain the stem packing at a temperature high enough to permit operation within the normal temperature range of the packing material. 4.2 Valves on gas service shall be capable of o

22、peration with the valve stem at or above the horizontal position. 4.3 Valves in liquid service other than cold box applications shall be capable of operation with the valve stem at or above 45 above the horizontal position. 4.4 For cold box applications, valves shall be suitable for use with the val

23、ve stem at or above 15 above the horizontal position and in addition the minimum gland extension length as shown in Figure 1 shall be as given in Table 1. NOTEIf any special length of gland extension is required by the purchaser he should state this (see Appendix C). 4.5 For applications other than

24、cold box applications the minimum gland extension length shall be250mm (see Figure 1). 4.6 Valves shall be designed to relieve pressures above normal working pressure that may build up in trapped cavities due to thermal expansion or evaporation of liquid. NOTEFor ball and gate valves this requiremen

25、t can be met by the provision of a pressure relief hole or passage or other means, e.g. pressure relieving seats, to relieve pressure in the bonnet and body cavities to the upstream side of the valve. The means adopted will be determined by the manufacturer unless the purchaser exercises his option

26、in accordance with Appendix C.BS6364:1984 2 BSI 05-1999 Figure 1 Valve with extended bonnet/glandBS6364:1984 BSI 05-1999 3 Table 1 Minimum gland extension length for cold box applications 4.7 Where valves, by design, are unidirectional in operation, the flow direction shall be clearly indicated eith

27、er on and integral with the body of the valve or on a plate securely attached to the body of the valve. In the design of such valves, measures shall be taken to prevent incorrect assembly. 4.8 Valve bonnets shall be bolted, welded or union type. Union type bonnets shall only be used on valves DN 50

28、and below, or for marine applications DN 40 and below, and the union nut shall be locked to the body. The use of screwed bonnets shall not be permitted. NOTEGasket materials for bolted bonnets are outside the scope of this standard (see Appendix C). 4.9 For steel valves, fabricated gland extensions

29、shall be constructed from a single length of seamless tube butt-welded to the bonnet and gland housing. 4.10 For high pressure bronze or copper alloy valves of PN 100 rating or greater, the extension tube shall be screwed into the bonnet prior to silver soldering. 4.11 The clearance between the valv

30、e stem and gland extension bore shall be designed to minimize convection heat losses. The wall thickness of the extension shall be minimized, compatible with the rating of the valve and mechanical strength requirements in order to reduce conduction heat losses. 4.12 Valve stems shall be of one-piece

31、 construction except for end entry ball valves, in which case the valve design shall be such that the valve stem cannot be blown out of the body in the event of the gland being removed while the valve is under pressure. Rising stem valves with renewable gland packing that incorporate a back seat sha

32、ll have the back seat located in the region of the gland. Gland designs incorporating lantern rings and screwed plugs in the gland body shall not be used. 4.13 Globe valves shall have tapered or conical discs. The use of flat seated discs shall not be permitted. 4.14 The maximum force required to op

33、erate the valves manually under service conditions, when applied at the rim of the handwheel or lever, shall not exceed 350 N, except for valve seating and unseating only, when it shall be permissible for this value to be increased to 500 N. Where reduction gearing is provided, it shall be suitable

34、for operation at ambient temperature. 4.15 Valves for flammable service shall be designed to ensure electrical continuity to prevent build-up of static electricity. 5 Materials NOTEThe specification of materials and gland packing is outside the scope of this standard owing to the variety of material

35、s for the temperature range of operation, but Appendix B gives the preferred austenitic steels and non-ferrous materials that may be used. 5.1 Bolting materials shall be selected from those listed in BS 4882. NOTENote that on first cooling below ambient temperature and down to 196 C, some austenitic

36、 steels increase slightly in size owing to a permanent metallurgical change. This may result, for example, in bolts relaxing their pre-load the first time they are cooled. The manufacturer/user should take account of this in selecting the steels used. 5.2 Valves shall have metal/metal or soft seats

37、(seeAppendix C). Soft seats shall be backed by a secondary metal seat. Virgin PTFE shall be supported in such a way as to prevent cold flow. 5.3 The valve trim materials selected shall be such as to avoid the effects of galling (seizure or binding) caused by frequent operation at cryogenic temperatu

38、res. 6 Non-destructive testing 6.1 Examination of welds. Butt welded joints on fabricated sections of valves shall be fully radiographed and shall comply with 5.7 of BS5500:1988. 6.2 Examination of castings 6.2.1 If weld ends are to be radiographed they shall meet a minimum radiographic standard for

39、 a distance of 25mm from the machined weld preparations, and shall be as specified for class 1 in BS 5998.

41、with BS5998. 6.2.2 The method of radiographic examination of castings shall be in accordance with BS 4080. Radiographic records shall be retained for a period of at least 5 years by the manufacturer. 7 Repair of castings Weld repair of castings shall be to the standards of acceptability in accordanc

42、e with the quality level specified in BS 5998. Section 3. Testing 8 Pressure testing 8.1 Shell strength test 8.1.1 The valve body and bonnet shall be subjected to a hydrostatic or pneumatic test. Hydrostatic testing shall be carried out as described in the appropriate standard(s) given in clause 1.

43、For stainless steel valves, the chloride content of the water for hydrostatic tests shall not exceed30p.p.m. Pneumatic tests shall be at the full test pressure specified in the appropriate valve product standard. WARNING. Attention is drawn to the hazardous nature of pneumatic testing. 8.1.2 For she

44、ll tests, discs and wedges, if fitted, shall be in the open position and ball valves shall be in the half-open position. 8.1.3 After hydrostatic shell testing, the component parts of the valve shall be thoroughly cleaned and degreased. 8.2 Shell leak test. After the hydrostatic or pneumatic strength

45、 test, body and bonnet joints and glands of valves shall be soap or immersion-under-water tested using dry oil-free air or nitrogen at the full seat rating of the valve. The stem shall be free to turn at this pressure. During the test duration specified in Appendix B of BS6755-1:1986, there shall be

46、 no visible leakage. 8.3 Seat leak test 8.3.1 Valve seats shall be tested with dry oil-free air or inert gas at the full seat rating or for ball valves at 6.9bar 1)Valve shut-off shall be achieved by the normal methods of operation and duration of tests shall be in accordance with BS 6755-1. 8.3.2 F

47、or valves having metal-to-metal seats, the maximum permitted leakage rate shall be 0.3mm 3 /s DN. 8.3.3 For valves having soft seats there shall be no visible leakage for the duration of the test. 8.4 Cryogenic prototype testing. When tested as described in Appendix A, valves shall satisfy all the r

48、equirements of the test as given in that appendix. Valves intended for marine applications shall be subjected to the tests described in Appendix A. NOTEFor all other applications, cryogenic testing is normally carried out only when requested by the purchaser and it is essential, therefore, for the p

49、urchaser to state he requires this testing to be done end also, whether he wishes to be present (seeAppendix C). 9 Marking 2) In order to comply with clause 4, each valve will be marked in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate base standard to which it is produced and in addition, each valve shall be marked with the number of this British Standard together with the minimum temperature for which it is suitable. 1) 1bar = 10 5N/m 2= 100kPa. 2) Marking BS 6364:1984 on or in relation to a product is a clai
