It specifies for that purpose, tests to be carried out on standardized test pieces taken from sheets of material, si
26、nce the small size of most components does not, in general, allow for the necessary standard samples to be prepared from them in order to undertake the complete range of tests. It may be necessary to carry out supplementary tests on the component mounted in the gas appliance, or in equipment such as
27、 safety and control devices, to confirm the functional suitability of the component. Such tests should be performed under the most severe service conditions envisaged in the appropriate standards for the gas appliances and/or equipment. 1 Scope This standard specifies requirements and associated tes
28、t methods for vulcanized rubber materials used in gas appliances and equipment in contact with1st,2nd and3rd family combustible gases. It also establishes a classification based on temperature range and hardness. This standard is applicable to materials from which are manufactured homogeneous seals
29、and homogeneous or reinforced diaphragms. The normal range of operating temperatures covered by this standard is0C to +60C. Tests are also included for applications using diaphragms within the range 20C to +80C and seals within the range 20C to +150C. For temperatures outside these ranges the user s
30、hould contact the manufacturer regarding the suitability of the rubber material. This standard includes two normative annexes for the verification that a component (finished product) was produced from a previously type tested material complying with requirements of this standard as declared by the a
31、ppliance or equipment manufacturer or supplier of the component. This standard is not applicable to silicone rubber used either above200mbar nominal pressure or at temperatures below0C with3rd family gases as there is possibility of condensation. This standard is also not applicable to seals and dia
32、phragms for devices in gas transmission systems nor in such equipment used in1st and2nd family gas distribution systems. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropria
33、te places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

38、actured from rubber material 3.2 seal A component used as an interface between parts of a gas appliance or parts of gas equipment to achieve gas tightness. 3.2.1 static seal a component which ensures a seal between two parts of a gas appliance or parts of gas equipment which do not have relative mov
39、ement (“O” rings, sheet gaskets, etc.) 3.2.2 dynamic seal a component which ensures a seal between two parts of a gas appliance or parts of gas equipment which have relative movement (lip seals, valve pads and some “O” rings) 3.3 diaphragm a membrane of rubber material located in a fixture and servi
40、ng as a flexible gas tight partition between two chambers 3.4 reinforcement woven or unwoven material arranged in or on the rubber type material, thus reinforcing certain properties of such, for example the bursting strength of diaphragms 4 Manufacturers declared information The manufacturer respons
41、ible for the production of material complying with this standard shall ensure that he declares the following information which shall be documented: a unique material reference; the nominal hardness; the maximum working temperature of the material; the minimum working temperature of the material; whe
42、ther the material is resistant to ozone; for reinforced material, a full specification of the reinforcement, for example type of material, basic construction and decitex. NOTEIt is recommended that diaphragms should be ozone resistant. Because of the potential interruption of any protective surface
43、coating, such as waxes, by dynamic flexing such methods of protection against ozone attack shall not be used without additional protective additives. 5 Classification Materials shall be classified according to temperature range and hardness as given inTable 1 and Table 2 respectively. NOTESeals can
44、be manufactured from materials of classA1 toE1 andA2 toE2, whilst diaphragms are prepared from classA1 toB1 andA2 toB2.
