7、pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the

The EFV shall then be tested in accordancewith 12.2 and 12.3 or 12.4.13. Product Marking13.1 If the EFV manufacturer intends to sell the EFV toothers,

38、the outer surface of the EFV shall be marked with thefollowing:13.1.1 ASTM F 2138,13.1.2 Manufacturers name or trademark, and13.1.3 Coding that will enable the manufacturer to deter-mine the EFV model as well as the date and location ofmanufacture.13.2 If the EFV manufacturer inserts the EFV into pi

39、pe or apiping component prior to shipment to a customer, the mark-ings shown below shall be placed on the outer surface of thepipe or piping component:13.2.1 ASTM F 2138,13.2.2 Manufacturers name or trademark,13.2.3 Type of EFV: Bypass (EFVB) or Non By-Pass(EFVNB),13.2.4 Flow direction arrow,13.2.5

40、Nominal pipe size, and13.2.6 Coding that will enable the manufacturer to deter-mine the EFV model as well as the date and location ofmanufacture.13.3 If the EFV manufacturer supplies the EFV componentto another manufacturer for assembly into other products, theEFV manufacturer shall supply the infor

41、mation required by13.2 in an agreed upon format such that it can be placed on theouter surface of the final pipe or piping component by the othermanufacturer.14. Production Testing14.1 The manufacturer shall test each EFV prior to ship-ment.14.2 The following tests shall be performed on each EFV:14.

42、2.1 Trip flow,14.2.2 Leak rate for EFVNBs,14.2.3 Bypass flow for EFVBs, and14.2.4 Reset testing.14.3 EFVs that do not meet the manufacturers publishedperformance requirements for the above tests shall be rejected.15. Quality Assurance15.1 When the product is marked with this designation,F 2138, the

43、manufacturer affirms that the product was manu-factured, inspected, sampled, and tested in accordance with thisspecification and has been found to meet the requirements ofthis specification.16. Keywords16.1 excess flow valve; (EFV)APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. GUIDANCE ON EFV SELECTION AND I

44、NSTALLATIONX1.1 GeneralThis appendix is intended to assist ownersof natural gas systems in the selection of the appropriate EFVfor inclusion in a pipeline system and to determine the effectsof the EFV installation on the performance of the pipelinesystem.X1.2 EFV SelectionAn EFV should be selected w

45、ith atrip flow, at the distribution system minimum pressure, abovethe maximum customer load, and above the meter capacity.X1.3 Determining Service Line ConfigurationA basicunderstanding of the method for designing service lines isessential to understanding the effects of EFVs on service linedesign.

46、These effects are discussed in X1.4.X1.3.1 Service Line ConfigurationThis term includes allfactors that affect the flow and cause pressure drop along thelength of a service line. These factors include:X1.3.1.1 Main tap and outlet piping,X1.3.1.2 Service line pipe diameter, wall thickness, androughne

47、ss, andX1.3.1.3 Fittings, couplings, and valves.X1.3.2 Service Line Flow and Maximum LengthMaximum service line length is typically determined bygraphing flow versus service line length for a given service lineconfiguration. A longer service line will have decreased flowdue to the increased friction

48、 along the inside diameter of thepipeline. This increased friction also results in an increasedF2138093pressure drop. When the pressure drop along the length of theservice reaches the maximum acceptable value determined bythe operator, the graph ends and the maximum service linelength for the servic

49、e line configuration is established. Themaximum service line length for 1/2 CTS pipe with the sametap, fittings, couplings, and valves for one company may bedifferent from another company due to different maximumacceptable pressure drops. A typical graph is shown in Fig.X1.1.X1.3.3 Service Line Configuration SelectionOwners ofgas distribution systems will typically have a graph, like theone shown in Fig. X1.1, for each service line configuration. Acustomer will have a known maximum load and requiredservice line length. The service line configurati
