16、ion of ANSI/AWWA C507 added updated actuator requirements and was approved on Jan. 24, 2015. This edition was approved on Jan. 20, 2018. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF)

17、to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM).

18、 The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may choose to impose requirem

19、ents more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. Specific policies of the state, provincial, or local agency. * American National Standar

Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex, and other standards considered appropriate by the state or local agency. Various c

22、ertification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accordance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certification organizations may vary from jurisdiction t

23、o jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are

24、based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/A WWA C507 does not address additives requirements. Users of this standard should consult the appropriate

25、 state, provincial, or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water. 3. Determine current informati

26、on on product certification. To minimize inadvertent drinking water additives, some jurisdictions (including California, Maryland, Vermont, and Louisiana, at the time of this writing) are calling for reduced lead limits for materials in contact with potable water. Various third- party certifiers hav

27、e been assessing products against these lead content criteria, and a new ANSI-approved national standard, NSF/ANSI 372, Drinking Water System ComponentsLead Content, was published in 2010. On Jan. 4, 2011, legislation was signed revising the definition for “lead free” within the Safe Drinking Water

28、Act (SDWA) as it pertains to “pipe, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.” The changes went into effect on Jan. 4, 2014.

The actuating forces required to operate a

30、 ball valve of a given size vary considerably and depend on the size of the valve, the differential operating pressure, the quantity of water flow, the configuration of waterway passages, and the seal design used. This standard covers the design of these valves and their actuators operating at a max

31、imum differential pressure equal to or less than the design pressure and a maximum full-open port fluid velocity of 35 ft/s (10.7 m/s). Ball valves capable of operating under pressurevelocity conditions exceeding those found in this standard are available but are outside the scope of this standard.

32、Fluid port velocities greater than 35 ft/s (10.7 m/s) have a higher probability of causing cavitation in piping systems, especially if valves are used to throttle flows. The 35-ft/s (10.7-m/s) port fluid velocity is not an upper limit to the flow that can be satisfactorily handled by ball valves. Pi

33、ping systems capable of producing higher velocities should be studied by the system owner, system designer, or purchaser and manufacturer to ensure the most appropriate valve selection. II.B. Considerations for Throttling Service. If a valve is to be installed for throttling service, the system owne

34、r, system designer, or purchaser must carefully evaluate the full range of differential pressures across the valve versus the downstream pressures in order to avoid damage by cavitation. Differential pressures across the valve versus downstream pressures for all angles of the ball, together with the

35、 hydraulic characteristics of the valve, must be determined and evaluated to ensure a successful installation. See AWWA Manual M49 for further explanation and information. II.C. Valve and Piping Supports. To maintain the integrity of the valve, it is important to avoid subjecting the valve to pipe l

36、oads or external loads that drive the valve out of round, such as the use of valve foundations or supports without proper pipe supports. The valve should be supported independently of the adjacent piping, and the adjacent piping should be supported independently of the valve. Piping to and from the

37、valve should be adequately supported and controlled. Valve inlet and outlet piping should be supported as near to the valve as practical. This arrangement removes most of the static load and allows identification of piping fit problems during installation and easier removal of the valve for maintenance. Design considerations should include allowable flange loadings, thermal expansion and contraction, and differential settlement. Copyright 2018 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved.
