4、re commonly known as EEMUA, is a European based, non-profit distributing, industry Association run for the benefit of companies that own or operate industrial facilities. EEMUA aims to improve the safety, environmental and operating performance of industrial facilities in the most cost-effective way

5、. EEMUA Members pursue these aims by sharing engineering experiences and expertise, and by the promotion of their distinct interests as the users of engineering products. More specifically, the aims of EEMUA Member companies are achieved by: providing the organisation within which networking, inform

6、ation sharing and collaboration on non-competitive technical matters can take place; influencing the way written regulations are interpreted and applied in practice; presenting and promoting Members views, and encouraging the application of good, sound engineering practices; developing and publishin

7、g user guides, specifications and training materials; facilitating Members participation in national and international standards making; influencing relevant national and European legislation and regulations. Formed in 1949 as the Engineering Equipment Users Association, and re-named in 1983 (as a r

8、esult of taking over the materials association, OCMA), EEMUA has for more than fifty years given companies that own and operate process plants, power stations and other significant industrial facilities, a collaborative voice in addressing technical and engineering related issues that impact on good

9、 integrity management and asset management practices. The Association is open to companies of all sizes that meet the engineering user criteria. A list of current Members of EEMUA is maintained on the Associations website at www.eemua.org/about.htm. EEMUA activities often lead to the production of p

10、ublications. These are prepared primarily for Members use, but may be offered for sale as well. A list of EEMUA publications for sale is given at the end of this Publication. The full list is also on the Associations website at www.eemua.org/acatalog/shop.html, together with on-line shopping facilit

28、 Technical Committee Valves section, is aimed at providing guidance to users, specifiers and inspectors with regard to production testing of ball, plug, gate, butterfly and globe valves designed to internationally recognised standards and intended for use in the energy, process and related industrie

29、s. It is a common assumption that valve test and product standards contain all that is required to ensure adequate performance, but this is not always the case. Standards committees dominated by manufacturers, and the difficulties involved in achieving universal agreement, often result in a lowest c

30、ommon denominator which may not always fulfil the users expectations, particularly for critical services. For example, seat leak test pressures should ideally reflect the seating mechanism of the valve (i.e. whether it utilises externally applied force or differential pressure) and the differential

31、pressure against which valves are required to seal in service, but often do not. Also, minimum required test times are often very short. Purchasers should consider the value of such short test times, when the time taken for conditions to stabilise might be several minutes. Terminology In this docume

32、nt, the words will and should, when used in the context of actions or requirements of or by the purchaser or other parties, have specific meanings as follows: will is used in connection with an action by the purchaser, or with an action or requirement normally expected of the manufacturer or supplie

33、r; should indicates a recommendation; where a recommendation is of particular importance, phrases such as need to are used. EEMUA Publication 205 - Production Testing of Valves EEMUA 2EEMUA Publication 205 - Production Testing of Valves EEMUA 31. Scope This Guide sets out the recommended production

34、tests to be applied to the following types of valves: ball, plug, gate, butterfly and globe. It does not apply to valves used exclusively for control purposes. Tests of an optional nature are included. Tests outside the scope of this Guide include material sampling and non-destructive testing of val

35、ve materials to verify their physical properties, chemical composition and quality. Type approval tests, fire type tests and tests at high and low temperature, are also excluded.

36、. Equipment, Facilities and Procedures for Pressure Testing 2.1 General Responsibilities for the Manufacturer 2.1.1 Testing will normally be carried out by the manufacturer who will be responsible for providing all the necessary facilities, labour and equipment required to perform the tests and insp

37、ections, and for overall safety in the preparation for and conduct of the test. 2.1.2 The manufacturer will need to be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the purchaser the adequacy of the methods and equipment used to carry out and monitor the test. 2.1.3 The manufacturer will normally be re

38、sponsible for the safety and design of test equipment and for providing adequate safeguards for personnel in the areas of the test. 2.2 Equipment and Facilities: Particular Requirements 2.2.1 The valve needs to be adequately illuminated and accessible for inspection. 2.2.2 The test equipment and met

39、hod of pressurising the valve need to ensure that all pressure containing parts of the valve are strength tested and it is not subjected to external constraint. Axial loads should, ideally, not be reduced by the method adopted to blank the ends (see Note 1 below). Where this is not practical or econ

40、omical, in all cases a minimum of one valve of each unique size, material and rating should be tested. Approved methods of blanking valve ends for pressure sealing are: blank flanges or covers for flanged end valves; weld end caps with or without pups for weld end valves; screwed plugs for threaded

41、end valves. Alternative pressure sealing methods may be used when agreed by the purchaser, but it is recommended that these be considered only where the validity of the valve design has been proven by prototype or sample testing with blank ends attached to the valve (see Note 2). Note 1: When blank

42、ends are attached to a valve, then maximum longitudinal tensile stresses are developed when the valve is internally pressurised. This assists in detecting cracks in the valve materials and weaknesses in bolted joints and other connecting parts. This is particularly important if valves have a body jo

43、int transverse to the pipe axis. Note 2: A reduction in longitudinal stresses in the valve body can result from some alternative pressure sealing methods, e.g. clamping the valve ends in a press and internally sealing valve bores with floating bungs. The ends of valve bores sealed by floating bungs

44、are not subjected to the test pressure and may require supplementary non-destructive testing (NDT). 2.2.3 The test facilities need to permit complete (and demonstrable) isolation of the valve from the pressure source. EEMUA Publication 205 - Production Testing of Valves EEMUA 62.2.4 In order to ensu

45、re that the accuracy and sensitivity of volumetric measuring devices are adequate, their calibration needs to be performed with the same test fluid, at the same temperature, and to be within the same tolerances as required for the tests. Note: Guidance on measurement and calibration systems can be f

46、ound in ISO 10012. 2.2.5 The manufacturer should be required to have valid, uniquely identifiable calibration certificates available for, and traceable to, each item of measuring equipment used for testing, with calibration carried out in accordance with an approved quality standard. 2.2.6 The accur

47、acy of pressure gauges used in testing should be in accordance with EN 837-1, Table 11, Class 1.6 or better. It is recommended that the gauges display the test pressure between 25% and 75% of full gauge pressure and have a minimum face diameter of 150 mm. The purchaser may agree the use of alternati

48、ve devices to pressure gauges. 2.2.7 Safety relief devices need to be incorporated in the pressurising system in order to prevent overpressuring the valve and test equipment. 2.2.8 No valve undergoing pressure testing is to be subjected to any form of shock loading. 2.2.9 Temperature measuring devic

49、es are to be capable of indicating fluctuations of 1C. 2.2.10 If testing with gas supplied from high pressure storage, the test arrangement needs to be such that the gas entering the valve does not lower the temperature to the extent that the validity of the test is affected. 2.3 Test Fluid 2.3.1 The preferred test fluid for hydrostatic tests is clean fresh water at ambient temperature (but see 2.3.2 below) containing a suitable corrosion inhibitor, or a non-corrosive liquid whose viscosity at ambient temperature is
