DESIGN QUALIFICATION TESTIN

35、G 8.1 General This section is intended to provide technical information to users of EFVs on the performance characteristics of a manufacturers valve. The technical information produced from this testing will assist the user in determining the proper application of an EFV. This section is also intend

36、ed to provide specific EFV performance requirements and to outline the testing that shall be performed by user, manufacturer, or other party to evaluate EFVs. 8.2 Apparatus The test apparatus, equipment, and procedure used in performing the outlined tests shall be such that data obtained from the te

37、sts can be confirmed. The following standards shall be referenced when testing to this Standard Practice: Low Pressure (5”w.c. to 5 psig): IAS (CSA/IAS) 3-92, MSS SP-133 High Pressure (5 psig and above): ASTM F1802, ASTM F2138, MSS SP-115 8.3 Orientation Testing is required in each intended mounting

38、 position unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. Test apparatus and procedures referenced in the above mentioned standards may need to be modified to accommodate manufacturers required valve orientation in positions other than horizontal. 8.4 Lot Size The following tests shall be made by th

39、e manufacturer on a sample of EFVs. The sample size shall be no fewer than three valves. For production lots of fewer than three valves, qualification tests shall be performed on each valve. Each rated minimum closure flow rate model must be design qualified under this section. 8.5 Temperature Testi

40、ng shall be performed at 67 F (+/-10 F). Alternate optional test temperatures are -20 F (+/-10 F), and 140 F (+/-10 F). 8.6 Closure Flow Test EFVs shall be tested at the minimum design inlet pressure. Additional tests at other inlet pressures may be performed. The closure flow rate of the valve shal

41、l be within manufacturers specification and the limits specified in Section 6.2. 8.7 Bleed-by Flow Rate/Leak Rate After Closure Test EFVs shall be tested at the minimum and maximum design inlet pressure. Additional tests at other inlet pressures may be performed. The bleed-by flow rate of the valve

42、shall be within the limits specified in Section 6.1.1 and 6.3. The bleed-by flow rate of the valve shall be within the manufacturers specifications.

43、e taken at the following percentages of the valves minimum closure flow rate at the given inlet test pressure: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90. Additional tests at inlet pressures and flow rates other than those listed here may be performed. The pressure drop values shall be within manufactur

44、ers specifications. 8.8.1.1 EFVs shall be tested per Section 8.8.1 at the minimum design inlet pressure. Examples include: a) If a valves minimum design inlet pressure is 40 psig and its minimum closure flow rate at 40 psig is 10000 SCFH, then pressure drop measurements at 40 psig inlet pressure sha

45、ll be taken at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, and, 9000 SCFH. b) If a valves minimum design inlet pressure is 5 psig and its minimum closure flow rate at 5 psig is 1800 SCFH, then pressure drop measurements at 5 psig inlet pressure shall be taken at 180, 360, 540, 720, 900, 1080, 12

46、60, 1440, and 1620 SCFH. 8.8.2 Pressure Drop just Prior to Closure The maximum obtainable pressure drop across the valve prior to closure shall be measured. This reading may be taken at a flow rate equal to a minimum of 99% of the manufacturers specified minimum closure flow rate. The pressure drop
