19、 (E)IntroductionIn respect of potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused by the product covered by this European Standard:a) this European Standard provides no information as to whether the product may be used without restriction in any of the Member Sta
20、te of the EU or EFTA;b) it should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force.4BS EN 13077:2018EN 13077:2018 (E)1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the char
21、acteristics and the requirements of air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) Family A, Type B for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution by backflow. This European Standard applies to air gaps in
22、factory-assembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ, and defines requirements and methods to verify and ensure compliance with this European Standard during normal working use.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document a

All materials shall be compatible among themselves and with the water supplied and with the fluids or substances that can come into contact with them.There are no special requirements concerning the materials downstream of the feed orifice provided they do not have any harmful effect on
32、the upstream part or the overflow arrangement.6 BS EN 13077:2018EN 13077:2018 (E)7 Requirements7.1 GeneralThe protection assembly comprises three parts: water inlet device; receiving vessel (container); non-circular overflow.7.2 Water inlet deviceEvery float-operated valve or other device, which con
33、trols the inflow of water to a receiving vessel, shall be securely and rigidly fixed to the vessel.Every feed pipe supplying water to such a valve assembly or other device shall be fixed in its position to prevent it from moving or buckling and to maintain a 2D radial clearance around the outlet. If
34、 a 2D clearance is not present in addition to the air gap validation a vacuum test in accordance with Annex C shall be undertaken.The direction of flow from a feed pipe into the receiving vessel shall be into air at atmospheric pressure, downwards and not more than 30 from the vertical. If the direc
35、tion of flow is not more than 15, the air gap shall be validated by calculation or by test, if it is more than 15 it shall be verified by test.The feed orifice shall not be in contact with the receiving vessel.No contact shall be observed between the upstream components and the liquid in the receivi
36、ng vessel.When maintaining the maximum flow rate at normal operating conditions, the feed pipe, inlet device and its outlet shall not come into contact in any way with a product from downstream; it shall always be above level H (see Figure 3).The water pathway to the overflow shall be unrestricted/u
37、nobstructed.7BS EN 13077:2018EN 13077:2018 (E)KeyA air gap (distance) 4 spillover levelD internal diameter of feed pipe (bore) 5 optional warning pipeH maximum level 6 Uw 5h(internal vertical surface)1 feed pipe 7 critical water level (distance h)2 feed orifice 8 2D Minimum radial clearance3 receivi

39、arge immediately into free air and shall be totally unobstructed.Verification of the dimensions of the overflow arrangement shall be based upon the largest possible single rectangular that can be accommodated within the non-circular overflow.If the receiving vessel has more than one overflow arrange
40、ment, each one shall fulfil the given requirements. If the overflow has an extension (see Annex B) the air gap shall be verified by test as defined in 7.4.1 a).If the overflow is the only air inlet then a vacuum test shall be undertaken as defined in Annex C.8 BS EN 13077:2018EN 13077:2018 (E)The he

43、3077:2018EN 13077:2018 (E)7.4 Air gap distance A7.4.1 Single supplyFor air gaps Family A, Type B the critical water level shall be established and the air gap distance A measured from the lowest point of the water inlet to the critical water level (h) (see Figure 3).The distance A is 2D and not less
44、 than 20 mm and h is determined either by:a) test by measurement of the depth of water above the spillover level of the overflow arrangement, 2 s after the inflow equal to Q = 0,14 D2in litres per minute has stopped. If the flow rate Q cannot be achieved then apply a flow pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar);
45、NOTE Where D is the bore of the inlet, (see 3.6) and with all outlets including optional warning pipe (except the overflow arrangement) closed, based on velocity of 3 m/s, or the maximum recommended flow rate for manufactured appliances, when the flow rate is higher than Q;or byb) calculation by det
46、ermining the depth of water above the spillover level of the overflow arrangement using the following formula:whereQ is the inflow in litres per minute at 3 m/s (Q = 0,14 D2);l is the width of the overflow arrangement in millimetres.The calculation is only valid where: width (l) is greater than or e
47、qual to 10 h at the spillover level; crest thickness of the overflow arrangement (Cw) is less than or equal to 5 h; upstream internal vertical face of the overflow arrangement (Uw) is greater than or equal to 5 h; the depth of the overflow arrangement or notch (Ow) is greater than or equal to 2D + h
48、 and never less than 20 mm; the direction of flow from the feed pipe into the receiving vessel is downward and not more than 15 from the vertical; the overflow is rectangular in design.In all other cases the air gap dimension A has to be determined by test; see 7.4.1 a).7.4.2 Multiple suppliesIn the
49、 case of multiple feed pipes to a single vessel having a non-circular unrestricted overflow, the minimum air gap for the potable water supplies shall be dimension A above the critical water level using all (potable and non-potable) bore diameters D.For inlets having individual feed pipe bore diameters (D) of less than 25 mm then the critical water level (3.3) shall be determined by measurement only using 7.4.1 a).For inlets having one feed pipe bore diameters (D) greater or equal to 25 mm then the critical water level (3.3)
