SCOPE 1.1 This Standard Practice covers Excess Flow Valves used in fuel

14、 gas distribution systems with operating pressures of 5 inches water column (”w.c.) and above. 2. DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS 2.1 Requirements for Excess Flow Valves covered by this Standard Practice are classified into two pressure ranges as follows: a) Low Pressure Valves for use on systems with

15、 pressures between 5”w.c. and 5 psig. b) High Pressure Valves for use on systems with pressures of 5 psig and above. 2.2 Excess Flow Valve (EFV) A device designed to automatically stop or limit the flow of gas in the event that the flow in the fuel gas service line in which it is installed exceeds a

16、 predetermined level. 2.2.1 Excess Flow Valve Bypass (EFVB) An EFV designed to limit the flow of gas upon closure to a predetermined level. EFVBs reset automatically once the service line downstream is made gas tight and pressure is equalized across the valve. 2.2.2 Excess Flow Valve Non-Bypass (EFV

17、NB) An EFV designed to stop the flow of gas upon closure and prevent equalization of pressure across the valve. EFVNBs must be manually reset. 2.3 Closure Flow Rate The predetermined level of gas flow through an EFV at a given inlet pressure which causes closure. 2.4 Bleed-by Flow Rate The amount of

18、 gas flow at a given inlet pressure through an EFVB after closure. 2.5 Leak Rate The amount of gas flow at a given inlet pressure through an EFVNB after closure. 2.6 EFV Minimum Design Inlet Pressure The minimum pressure at which the EFV is designed to function as specified by the manufacturer. 2.7

19、EFV Maximum Operating Pressure The maximum pressure at which the EFV is designed to function as specified by the manufacturer. 2.8 Abbreviations Abbreviations of terms used in this Standard Practice are as follows: a) EFV Excess Flow Valve b) EFVB Excess Flow Valve Bypass c) EFVNB Excess Flow Valve
