21、in the water distribution system cannot be overstated. Their effective selection, installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement are vital to appropriately conveying an essential product to the customer. The primary focus of M44 is distribution valves; however, other valves essential

22、to plant operations are also dis- cussed. Specific to distribution systems, M44 is a guide for the selection, installation, field testing, and maintenance of water distribution valves. This manual offers a brief history of valves and an overview of their theory and flow characteristics. It is a disc

23、ussion of recommended practice rather than an AWWA standard calling for compliance with certain specifications. It provides guidance on generally avail- able valve alternatives. Questions about specific situations or the applicability of a particu- lar valve should be directed to the manufacturer or

24、 supplier. Information contained in M44 is useful for operators, technicians, and engineers for all sizes of utilities, but it is particularly useful for small- and medium-sized organiza- tions. The manual primarily discusses the more commonly used valves, but some of the “specialty” or “special use

25、” valves are covered as well. The extent of the presentation of the specialty valves is only to introduce their availability and applications. This manual provides general information to utilities and contractors on the proper installation and field testing of valves. Essential procedures related to

26、 operation and main- tenance are also covered within this document. Additionally, procedures for determin- ing valve criticality to assist an agency to establish, implement, and maintain an effective utilization of valves during their response to emergencies is provided as well. Fire hydrants, altho

27、ugh technically considered valves, are not covered in this man- ual. The reader is referred to AWWA Manual M17, Installation, Field Testing, and Mainte- nance of Fire Hydrants. This manual (M44) refers to AWWA standards for various types of valves. Copies of these standards may be purchased from the

28、 AWWA Bookstore. Several manufacturers graciously provided valve illustrations and other documenta- tion. AWWA does not endorse any manufacturers products, and the names of the manu- facturers have been removed from the material provided. Metrication note: Valve sizes are listed in their current US

29、designation; i.e., nomi- nal pipe sizes in inches. To obtain an exact metric equivalent, use a conversion factor of 2 5 . 4 m m / i n .

Dan Barr, Burgess with gauges at the same elevation, the upstream gauge will show higher pressure than the downstream gauge. Different pipe materials experience different levels of friction

34、 and so are said to have different friction factors. For example, a copper pipe is smoother than an iron pipe, and water flowing through the copper pipe will encounter less friction. In addition, for a given nominal diameter, the inside actual diameter may vary depending on pipe material. Flow is af

35、fected not only by the roughness of the pipe but also by the pipe diameter; friction increases as the diameter of the pipe decreases. The pressure drop associated with flow through a valve, i.e., the friction loss in the valve, depends on the type of valve. Many equations allow distribution designer

36、s to calculate the pressure drop in a given system. System designers can calculate average flow resistance based on the turbu- lence of the flow, the roughness of the pipe, pipe diameter, valve and bend types, and other factors. Generally, the flow resistance of a valve is expressed in terms of the

37、length of straight steel pipe that would have an equivalent resistance. For example, a 12-in. gate valve is rated at about a 13.2-ft (4-m) equivalent length of clean schedule 40 steel pipe, and a 12-in. globe valve is rated at about 340 ft (100 m). The relative resistance of PVC is about half that of steel. The considerable complexity of the flow resistance of valves is beyond the scope of this manual.
