34、 valve. The valves shall not open under pressure alone at pressures below16bar. The inlet and discharge connections shall be unobstructed except for the portion of the temperature sensing element within the inlet of the temperature relief valve. The section of the element within the inlet shall not

35、exceed the limits given in Table 2. The thermally responsive material of temperature sensing elements shall be sealed against water entry. 3.2 End connections and flow dimensions 3.2.1 Type of connections 3.2.1.1 General End connections shall be screwed ends, compression ends or flanged ends complyi

Screwed end c

37、onnections shall be designed so that when a pipe or fitting is screwed into the connection it shall not reduce the area of flow through the valve, distort any part of the valve body or adversely affect the operation of the valve. 3.2.1.3 Compression ends Where compression end connections are provide

38、d they shall comply with BS864-2 or BS864-5. 3.2.1.4 Flanged ends Where flanged end connections are provided they shall comply with Table9 of BS4504-3.3:1989. 3.2.2 Size of connections End connections shall be either the same nominal size as the valve (see Table 1) or, in the case of discharge conne

Temperature relief valves with rated discharge capacities exceeding7.5kW shall be not smaller than DN20. The minimum int

40、ernal diameter of end connections shall be as given in Table 2. 3.2.3 Total flow area The minimum total flow area at any point within the valve body, other than at the end connections and at the seating, shall be as given in Table 2. Where the total flow area is divided into two or more flow passage

41、s in parallel, the minimum flow area of any such passage shall be as given in Table 2. Calculation of total flow area shall exclude any portion in a corner of the flow area that would not be included in a5mm diameter circle positioned tangentially to two sides of the flow area. 3.2.4 Width of passag
