10、 Assembly . 23 Materials 24 Design Requirements . 25 Qualification Testing 36 Markings 3iiiFOREWORDIn 2001, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers received a request for the developmentof a standard for ball valves that would normally be used in residential hot and cold waterplumbing systems.
11、This request was approved by the ASME A112 Standards Committee andassigned to a new project team (PT 4.14).The IAPMO IGC 157 entitled “Ball Valves” was used as the base document for this Standard.While in development, the ASME project team broadened the title and scope to cover “quarterturn shutoff
12、valves.”This Standard was developed with the hope that due consideration should be given for adoptionof these provisions by model, state, and local codes.Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcomed. They should be sent to TheAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers; Attn: Secretary
13、, A112 Standards Committee; ThreePark Avenue; New York, NY 10016-5990.This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on May 25, 2004.ivASME A112 STANDARDS COMMITTEE(The following is the roster of the Committee at the time of approval of this Standard.)OFFICERSD.

18、rter-turn valves in nominal sizes (NPS) 2.These valves are intended for indoor installation as pota-ble water shutoff valves between the meter and the sup-ply stop. Valves governed by this Standard are intendedfor service at temperatures between 34F (1C) and 180F(82C), with an allowable working pres
19、sure rating notless than 125 psi (862 kPa).1.2 LimitationsThis Standard does not apply to hose end valves orendpoint devices as defined in NSF/ANSI 61, Section 9.1.3 Units of MeasurementThe values stated in either U.S. customary units orthe International System of Units (SI) are to be regardedsepara
20、tely as standard. The values stated in each systemare not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the Standard. All pressures, unless otherwise speci-fied, are gauge pressures. For the pu
21、rpose of determin-ing conformance with this Standard, the convention for“rounding off” shall be as defined in ASTM E29.1.4 ReferencesThe following is a list of publications referenced inthis Standard.ASME B1.20.1, Pipe Threads (Excluding Dryseal)ASME B16.18, Cast Copper Alloy Solder Joint PressureFi

The test valve shall be given ahydrostatic test at a pressure of two times its markedpressure rating. The test fluid shall be water. The testfluid temperature shall be 140F (60C). The
42、 durationof the test shall be 1 min.The ball or disc shall be in such a position during theshell test as to ensure full pressurization of the valve.(b) Polymeric Valves. Polymeric valves shall be hydro-statically tested to ASTM F1970, para. 8.2.5.1.1 Performance Criteria. The valve exterior shallsho
43、w no visible leakage. Leakage through the stem pack-ing shall not be cause for rejection as long as a packinggland adjustment stops the leakage.5.2 Seat Test5.2.1 Procedure. Following the shell test, the testvalve shall be given a seat test. The test shall be a hydro-static test at not less than 125
44、 psi at 140F (60C) or themaximum rated pressure and temperature of the valve.The test pressure shall be applied successively on eachside of the closed valve for duration of not less than1 min.Valves marked as one-way valves require a seat testonly in the direction of the flow.5.2.2 Performance Crite
45、ria There shall be no visibleevidence of leakage through the disc or ball nor leakagepast the seat.5.3 Cycle Test5.3.1 Procedure. A production sample valve shallwithstand 1,000 cycles of operation from the fullyopened to the fully closed position at its continuousrated temperature not less than 140F
46、 (60C). The test isto be conducted with a hydrostatic pressure-differentialapplied across the closed disc/ball equal to the ratedworking pressure. Restrict an opening downstream of thevalve to a flow of approximately 2.5 gpm (9.5 L/min)during the open portion of the test.35.3.2 Performance Criteria.
47、 After the cycling test, thevalve shall comply with the seat test (para. 5.2). Thevalve assembly shall show no signs of visible damage.5.4 Flow Test5.4.1 Procedure.
