35、ction 5.6.1.2 Materials of ConstructionMaterial requirements forthe pressure-reducing valve shall be as follows: The pressurecontaining envelope (body, gas dome, or spring housing) shallbe 300 series corrosion-resistant steel (304, 304L, 316, or316L). Internal parts including springs, poppets, seal
36、rings, andretainers shall be 300 series corrosion-resistant steel, nickel-aluminum bronze, nickel-copper (7030), or bronze. Othermaterials for both the pressure-containing envelope and inter-nal parts may be selected to assure compatibility with the linemedium, weldability, and to provide corrosion
37、resistancewithout requiring painting, coating, or plating. Materials forcontacting parts shall be selected to minimize electrolyticcorrosion and galling.6.1.3 Pressure EnvelopeThe pressure-reducing valve shallbe designed to pass a hydrostatic shell test at pressure(s) of atleast 1.5 times the 100F (
38、38C) pressure rating(s) of the valvewithout damage.6.1.4 Port ConfigurationThe pressure-reducing valveshall have in-line inlet and outlet ports.6.1.5 Pressure Lines All pressure lines in the pressure-reducing valve shall be internally ported.6.1.6 Soft-Seating InsertA field replaceable soft-seatingi
39、nsert shall be incorporated in the pressure-reducing valve.Soft-seating inserts shall be protected from direct flowimpingement, excessive loading and extrusion, or any othereffect jeopardizing their useful life. Soft-seating inserts shall beof the simplest practical configuration to facilitate emerg
40、encyreplacement manufacture where necessary.6.1.7 JointsThe bonnet or spring housing and bottom capshall be attached to the body by bolting, a threaded connection,or a threaded union connection.6.1.8 SpringsAny spring incorporated in the pressure-reducing valve shall not be compressed solid during o
41、peration.Spring ends shall be squared and ground. Engagement ordisengagement of parts against spring compression shall not bepermitted.6.1.9 Set Point AdjustmentFor mechanical spring-loadedpressure-reducing valves, the set point shall be adjustableunder pressure and shall incorporate right-hand thre
42、ads so thata clockwise rotation increases the set pressure. Means shall beused to prevent an accidental or inadvertent change in setpressure. The option of a tamper-proof set point adjustment(lead seal, and so forth) shall be available and provided ifspecified in Section 5. For gas-dome loaded press
43、ure-reducingvalves, set point adjustment shall be in accordance with 6.1.10.6.1.10 Gas DomeFor gas-dome loaded pressure-reducingvalves, the set point shall be adjustable under pressure andshall maintain its charge without adjustment or recharge morefrequently than once a year to remain within its sp
44、ecifiedperformance envelope. Upstream pressure shall be used toestablish dome load. Dome loading shall be accomplished bytwo valves installed in series, with a bleed-off valve in-between. If these valves are metal seated, they shall not seatdirectly into the structure of the dome so that damage or w
45、earto the seating surfaces would not require repair or replacementof the dome. Only a single dome penetration is allowed. Thevalves shall be operable by a standard-size hex wrench or othersuitable means. There shall be no external leakage past thethreads during dome bleeding. Flow from the bleed-off
46、 valveshall be ported in such a way that it does not impinge directlyon the person making the adjustment, cause excessive noise, orpotentially lead to ice formation within the dome loadingcircuit.6.1.11 ThreadsThreads shall be as specified in ANSIB1.1. Where necessary, provisions shall be incorporat
47、ed toprevent the accidental loosening of threaded parts. The designshall be such that standard wrenches can be used on all externalbolting. Lock-wire shall not be used.Any exposed threads shallbe protected by plastic caps for shipping.6.1.12 Accessibility All internal parts of the pressure-reducing
48、valve shall be accessible for adjustment or service,without removing the pressure-reducing valve from the line.6.1.13 InterchangeabilityThe pressure-reducing valve in-cluding all associated piece parts, shall have part numberidentity, and shall be replaceable from stock or the manufac-turer on a non
49、selective and random basis. Parts having thesame manufacturers part number shall be directly interchange-able with each other with respect to installation (physical) andperformance (function). Physically interchangeableassemblies, components, and parts are those that are capable ofbeing readily installed, removed, or replaced withoutalternation, misalignment or damage to parts being installed orto adjoining parts. Fabrication operations such as cutting,filing, drilling, reaming, hammering, bending, prying, or forc-ing shall not
