16、l of cleanliness. Specific requirements include: a) Cleaning b) Assembly and Testing of Valves c) Inspection and Acceptance d) Packaging e) Marking 1.2 Purpose This Standard Practice is intended for applications such as painting systems which are sensitive to silicone contamination and for other ser

17、vices requiring an increased level of cleanliness above that of standard industrial valves. 2. OBJECTIVE 2.1 The objective of this Standard Practice is to present methods that, when properly applied and combined, will yield a degree of cleanliness suitable for silicone-free systems. 2.2 The proper c

18、ombination of methods depends upon the component(s), method of manufacture, and type(s) of contamination present. 3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Any cleaning agent used must be compatible with the material of the component being cleaned. 3.2 Chloride-free cleaning agents shall be used on stainless stee

19、l. 3.3 This Standard Practice does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of this Standard Practices user to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations. 3.4 Used

20、 cleaning solutions shall be disposed of in accordance with appropriate hazardous waste regulations. 3.5 Cleaning, inspection, post-clean testing, and packaging shall be conducted by properly trained and qualified personnel knowledgeable of this Standard Practice. 4. CLEANING 4.1 Valves Prior to ass

21、embling the valve, all parts shall be separately cleaned per the following procedure: 4.1.1 The area for cleaning shall be clean and dust-free. All cleaning shall be performed in an area that is free from silicone and airborne silicone particles. 4.1.2 The assembly bench shall be covered with a clea

22、n polyethylene sheet or equivalent. 4.1.3 A full-length lint-free lab coat, or equivalent, and lint-free gloves shall be worn while in the cleaning area. 4.1.4 All valve part surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned using appropriate cleaning agents, per instructions provided by the cleaning agent manuf

23、acturer. 4.1.4.1 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be consulted for proper handling of cleaning agents. 4.1.4.2 Some solvents may damage non-metallic parts of the valve. The cleaning agent manufacturer should be consulted for compatibility with valve part materials, or sample parts should be

24、tested to ensure the cleaning agent is not harmful to the part. 4.1.5 Clean all surfaces which may contact the valve to remove all traces of silicone. QUALITY STANDARD PRACTICE FOR PREPARATION OF VALVES AND FITTINGS FOR SILICONE-FREE SERVICE MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-1402 4.2 Fittings All fittings sh

25、all be cleaned per the following procedure: 4.2.1 The area for cleaning shall be clean and dust-free. All cleaning shall be performed in an area that is free from silicone and airborne silicone particles. 4.2.2 A full-length lint-free lab coat, or equivalent, and lint-free gloves shall be worn while

26、 in the cleaning area. 4.2.3 Each fitting shall be thoroughly cleaned using appropriate cleaning agents, per instructions provided by the cleaning agent manufacturer. 4.2.3.1 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be consulted for proper handling of cleaning agents. 4.2.3.2 Some solvents may damag

27、e non-metallic fittings. The cleaning agent manufacturer should be consulted for compatibility with fitting material, or sample fittings should be tested to ensure the cleaning agent is not harmful to the fitting. 5. ASSEMBLY AND TESTING OF VALVES 5.1 All assembly tools shall be cleaned with accepta

28、ble cleaning agents. 5.2 Assembly shall occur in a clean and dust-free environment. 5.3 Assemble the valve and conduct testing as per the appropriate product standard. 5.3.1 Surfaces of the test equipment coming in contact with the valve should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaning agent. 5.3.2 Te

29、sting shall not introduce silicone into the valve as a byproduct. Note: The assembly and/or testing of fittings may not be typical; however, if such processes are necessary, as agreed between the purchaser and fitting manufacturer, then Section 5 shall be followed. 6. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE CRITE

30、RIA 6.1 This inspection and acceptance test shall be utilized unless an alternative procedure is required by the purchaser. The silicone-free test utilizes degreaser LPS ZeroTri Super Cleaner/Degreaser, AMTEX-CCR, or equivalent, or solvent specified by the valve or fitting purchaser. Degreasers shou

31、ld be handled and disposed of in accordance with MSDS and all governmental and environmental requirements. The manufacturer shall verify that the degreaser will not react with the test paint used in Section 6.4. 6.2 Prepare a test plate to verify the valve or fitting is free of silicone contaminatio

32、n. Clean a stainless steel plate (typical size is 6“ x 6“ (152mm x 152 mm), however, plate should be sized to capture all of the run-off) with appropriate degreaser and allow to dry. Wipe the test plate with an isopropyl alcohol soaked, lint-free cloth, to eliminate any static charge. Allow to dry t

33、horoughly. Spray all interior and exterior surfaces of the valve or fitting with the specified degreaser and catch the liquid run-off on the prepared test plate. 6.3 The degreaser shall be allowed to dry (degreaser will evaporate rapidly). Avoid breathing degreaser vapors. 6.4 The plate shall be spr

34、ayed with an acrylic spray paint or other type of paint, as specified by the purchaser. Silicone will prevent the paint from sticking to the plate, creating defects (“fish-eyes“ or bubbles) in the painted finish. 6.5 Any visual paint defect, including “fish-eyes” or bubbles, is cause for rejection.

35、6.6 Multiple valves or fittings, up to a total of 15, may be tested by spraying each sample and dripping onto a single stainless steel test plate and then processing as specified. All valves or fittings are either accepted or rejected by the test. MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-1403 6.7 Fittings may be in

36、spected per a random sampling plan, deemed acceptable by agreement between the purchaser and fitting manufacturer. 7. PACKAGING 7.1 Valves The valve opening should be covered with protective metal or plastic caps or plugs that have been cleaned as per this Standard Practice. The inspected and accept

37、ed valve assembly shall be individually wrapped with a minimum 0.003“ (0.0762mm) unused polypropylene plastic(a)and sealed with reinforced tape. Other packaging materials are acceptable by agreement between the purchaser and valve manufacturer. 7.2 Fittings Fittings that have been cleaned per this S

38、tandard Practice shall be packaged individually, or in multiple quantities, in an unused polypropylene plastic(a)bag with a 0.003“ (0.0762mm) minimum thickness. The bag shall be heat-sealed to prevent contaminants from entering. Other packaging materials are acceptable by agreement between the purch

39、aser and fitting manufacturer. 8. MARKING 8.1 The outside of the packaging is to be marked with: a) “Silicone-Free Per MSS SP-140” b) Manufacturers name and product identification number c) Date of packaging d) “Keep sealed until required for use” Note: (a)Unused polypropylene plastic inherently ref

40、ers to a “clean” product that is free of grease and silicone, or other contaminants.
