Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 accuracy of regulationthe amount by which thedownstream pressure may vary when the valve i
22、s set at anypressure within the required set pressure limit and is subjectedto any combination of inlet pressure, flow demand, andambient temperature variations within the specified limits.3.1.2 design pressure and temperaturethe maximum pres-sure and temperature the valve should be subjected to und
23、erany condition; these are the pressure and temperature uponwhich the strength of the pressure-containing envelope isbased.3.1.3 hydrostatic proof test pressurethe maximum testpressure that the valve is required to withstand withoutdamage; valve operation is not required during application ofthis te
24、st pressure, but the valve must meet all performancerequirements after the pressure has been removed.3.1.4 lockup pressurethe outlet pressure delivered by apressure-reducing valve when the flow is reduced to zero;lockup pressure is always greater than set pressure, and inactual practice it may vary
25、with the specific valve design,tolerances, method of sensing downstream pressure, and pipingconfigurations.3.1.5 nominal pressurethe approximate maximum pres-sure to which the valve will be subjected in service undernormal conditions.3.1.6 set pressurethe downstream pressure that the valveis set to
26、maintain under a given set of operating conditions (thatis, inlet pressure and flow); the valve should ideally be set atdownstream pressure approximately equal to the midpoint ofthe set pressure limits (defined in 3.1.7).3.1.7 set pressure limits (set pressure adjustable range)the range of set press
27、ure over which the valve can be adjustedwhile meeting the specified performance requirements.4. Classification4.1 Valves shall be of the following types and pressureratings, as specified (see Section 5 and 6.1.21).4.1.1 Type IPressurized spring chamber, and4.1.2 Type IIUnpressurized spring chamber.4
28、.2 Pressure RatingsValves shall have nominal inlet pres-sure ratings of 150 or 250 psig (1034 or 1724 kPa), or asspecified (see 6.1.21).5. Ordering Information5.1 Ordering documentation for valves in accordance withthis specification shall include the following information, asrequired, to describe t
29、he equipment adequately.5.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue,5.1.2 Valve specification code (see 6.1.21),5.1.3 Quantity of valves,5.1.4 Set pressure required,5.1.5 Set pressure limits, if not listed in 7.1.4,5.1.6 Face-to-face dimensions for valves, if not listed inTable 1,5.1.7 Regulation accur

31、92 (2005)26. Valve Construction and Coding6.1 Valves shall incorporate the design features specified in6.1.1 through 6.1.21.6.1.1 Materials of ConstructionMaterials shall be asspecified in Table 3. All materials shall be selected to preventcorrosion, galling, seizing, excessive wear, or erosion wher
32、eapplicable. Cadmium plating is prohibited.6.1.2 General RequirementsValves shall be self-contained, spring-loaded, direct-operated, pressure-reducingvalves incorporating a balanced valve element. Reduced pres-sure (not to exceed 200 psig (1379 kPa) shall be sensed by adiaphragm and compared with a
33、reference spring load. Anyforce imbalance shall be transmitted directly to and positivelyreposition a single-seated valve element to limit the set pointerror within the limits specified in 7.1.5. Type I valves shall bevalves in which the spring chamber in combination with thebody and bottom cap form
34、s a pressure-containing envelopecapable of withstanding the full hydrostatic proof test. Thesevalves shall be specified for special applications in which it isnecessary to contain the line media in the event of a failure thatsubjects the spring chamber to full inlet pressure. The springchamber assem
35、bly need not be leakproof; however, it shallcontain line media at hydrostatic proof test pressure withoutstructural failure and shall limit external leakage to a smallseepage (in drip form) past the adjusting screw threads andspring chamber joint. Type I valves shall also incorporate achoke feature
36、on the poppet to limit capacity in the event of adiaphragm failure, where specified (see Section 5). Type IIvalves shall be valves in which the spring chamber does notform part of the pressure-containing envelope.6.1.3 Pressure Envelope RatingThe nominal inlet (see3.1.5), design (see 3.1.2), and hyd
37、rostatic proof test (see 3.1.3)pressures for the pressure-containing envelope (body, springhousing, and bottom cap) shall be as specified in Table 4. Thedesign temperature (see 3.1.2) is also given in Table 4.6.1.4 Body PassagesBody passages shall produce gradualchanges in flow direction so as to re
38、duce any effects ofconcentrated impingement and 90 turns. In portions of thevalve subject to velocity increases and flow direction changes,such as immediately downstream of the seat, the 90 impinge-ment against the walls at close range shall be avoided. Thebody cavity downstream of the seat shall pr
39、esent a high angle(70 to 90) of incidence to the issuing jet. At points at whichdirect impingement at close range does occur and cannot beeliminated, the section thickness shall be increased substan-tially to provide adequate material to withstand the additionalerosive effect.6.1.5 Diaphragm Constru
40、ctionThe main diaphragm shallbe clamped between flanges on the body and spring chamber toensure a leaktight flange seal. The flange faces shall havesufficient width, and all edges in contact with the diaphragmshall be properly chamfered or rounded to prevent cutting orTABLE 1 Face-to-Face Dimensions
