See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by th

28、is standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be use

29、d in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding spec

30、ied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.5 Electrical components, including motors and wiring, when incorporated by a manufacturer in the assembly of a pump for LP-Gas or propylene, and the means provided in the pump assembly for electrical connections, shall comply with t

32、s I, Group D, in the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, Articles 500 and 501. Exception: When incorporated by a manufacturer in the assembly of a pump for anhydrous ammonia, the above described electrical components need only to comply with the requirements for ordinary (nonhazardous) locations or f

33、or outdoor use locations, if the assembly is appropriately marked to designate the limitations in location and use involved with the electrical features. 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement.

35、 of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 5.2 BYPASS VALVE A valve used on the discharge side of a pump which opens automatically at a predetermined differential pressure so as to direct part or all of the pump discharge back to the sup

36、ply tank. It is either provided as part of a pump assembly (integral bypass valve), or it is a separate valve which is piped into the pump discharge system at the time of installation. 5.3 LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LP-GAS OR LPG) Any material having a vapor pressure not exceeding that allowed for com

37、mercial propane, as dened in Standard Specication for Liqueed Petroleum (LP) Gases, ASTM D1835, that is composed predominantly of the following hydrocarbons, either by themselves (excluding propylene) or as mixtures: propane, propylene, butane (normal butane or isobutane) and butylenes. 5.4 RELIEF V

38、ALVE A recirculating valve which opens at a predetermined differential pressure to direct the pump discharge back to the intake side of the pump. When provided, it is included as part of the pump assembly. CONSTRUCTION 6 Assembly 6.1 The construction of a pump or bypass valve shall be such that part

39、s are capable of being assembled in the required manner after being dismantled to the extent needed for replacement of parts or for other care or servicing. 6.2 Screws or bolts used to attach parts which are detached for care or servicing of the pump or bypass valve shall be capable of holding upon
