18、genic fluids below - 10 C as well as at ambient conditions to allow for start-up and run-down. It specifies additional requirements for cryogenic service for the appropriate valve product standard. NOTE a cryogenic fluid (refrigerated liquefied gas) is a gas which is partially liquid because of its
19、low temperature (including totally evaporated liquids and supercritical fluids). It applies to sizes up to DN 150 including vacuum jacketed cryogenic valves. This European Standard is not applicable to safety valves and valves for liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is intended that the valve be designe
20、d and tested to satisfy a pressure rating (PN or Class). Valves may then be selected with a PN or Class equal to or greater than the maximum allowable pressure (PS) of the equipment with which it is to be used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the appli

29、3.3 specified minimum temperature lowest temperature the valve is specified for 3.4 valve category A valves intended to be operated with normal frequency (above 20 cycles a year) 3.5 valve category B valves intended to be operated only occasionally i.e. with a frequency below 20 cycles a year 4 Requ
30、irements 4.1 Materials 4.1.1 Metallic materials Metallic materials to be used in the construction of cryogenic valves shall be suitable for general valve uses as defined in EN 12516-1, EN 12516-2 and EN 12516-4. In addition, the following requirements apply: 4.1.1.1 Toughness requirements Materials
31、which exhibit a ductile/brittle transition shall have minimum impact test values specified in EN 1252-1. These requirements apply only to the critical parts of the valve exposed to cryogenic temperatures (and not to control elements for example). Non ferrous materials which can be shown to have no d
32、uctile/brittle transition do not require additional impact tests. 4.1.1.2 Corrosion resistance Materials shall be resistant to or protected from normal atmospheric corrosion and to the medium handled. 4.1.1.3 Oxygen compatibility If the specified minimum temperature is equal to or below the boiling
33、point of air (approximately 190 C at atmospheric pressure) or the valve is intended for oxygen service the materials which are, or likely to be, in contact with oxygen or an oxygen enriched air shall be oxygen compatible in accordance with EN 1797. 4.1.1.4 Flammable gas compatibility For hydrogen se
34、rvice, see EN 1797. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 03/06/2009 08:00, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 1626:2008EN 1626:2008 (E) 6 Copper alloys less than 70 % of copper shall be used for fluids containing acetylene. 4.1.2 Non metallic materials Non metallic materials to be use
35、d in packing, seats and glands shall: - have mechanical properties which will allow the valves to pass the sample valve test for category A valves as defined in this standard (see 5.2); - be oxygen compatible, if applicable, see 4.1.1.3. If non metallic materials are used for structural parts, their
36、 suitability shall be proven. 4.2 Design 4.2.1 General The valves shall fulfil their function in a safe manner within the temperature range from + 65 C to their specified minimum temperature and the pressure range intended for use. 4.2.2 Packing gland Valves can have an extended stem. The length of
37、the extension shall be sufficient to maintain the stem packing at a temperature high enough to permit operation within the normal temperature range of the packing material. Valves without an extended stem shall have a stem packing capable of operating at the specified minimum temperature. The handle
38、 shall be designed to remain operable for the duration of the sample valve test in accordance with 5.2.3.2. Gland designs incorporating a gland nut with a male or female thread shall be such that the nut shall not unscrew unintentionally, for example when the valve is operated. 4.2.3 Operating posit
39、ions Valves with an extended stem shall be capable of operation with the valve stem at any position from the vertical to 25 above the horizontal. 4.2.4 Trapped liquid Cavities where liquid can be trapped and build up detrimental pressures due to evaporation or expansion of the liquid during warming
40、up of the valve are not permitted. NOTE For ball and gate valves this requirement can be met by the provision of a pressure relief hole or passage or other means, e.g. pressure relieving seats, to relieve pressure in the bonnet and body cavities to the upstream side of the valve. 4.2.5 Valve bonnet
41、Valve bonnets may be brazed, welded, bolted, screwed or union type. Union type bonnets shall not be used on valves greater than DN 50. Union nuts shall be locked to the body. Screwed bonnets shall also be secured by a union nut or another device offering equivalent safety. 4.2.6 Securing of gland ex
42、tension For bronze or copper alloy valves of PN 100 or greater, the gland extensions shall be mechanically secured in the bonnet prior to brazing. (For instance by screwing).

43、8 (E) 7 4.2.7 Seat (seating assembly) Valves may have metal/metal or metal/soft or soft/soft seating assembly. Soft seat materials shall be adequately supported to prevent cold flow of the seat material or shall be backed by a secondary metal seat. 4.2.8 Blow-off safety of the spindle The valve stem
44、/shaft shall be secured so that it cannot be blown out of the body in the event of the gland being removed while the valve is under pressure. 4.2.9 Torque The maximum torque to operate manual valves under service conditions, when applied at the rim of the hand wheel or lever, shall not exceed 350 x
45、R N.m, except for valve seating and unseating, when it shall not exceed 500 x R Nm. For a hand-wheel, R is the radius of the wheel in meters. For a lever R is the length of the lever in meters minus 0,05 m. The valve shall be robust enough to withstand 1000 R N.m or equivalent in linear force as spe
46、cified above without damage. A lower value is permitted if there is a limiting torque or stroke device. Stems/shafts torsional strength within the pressure boundary shall be designed to exceed the torsional strength of the stem/shaft to the packing by at least 10 %. Valves intended for actuator oper
47、ation may have torque or linear force requirements deviating from the above. The sample valve tests shall then be performed including a proper actuator to operate the valve. 4.2.10 Electrical continuity and explosion proofness All valves shall have a maximum electrical resistance of 1000 in order to
48、 ensure electrical continuity to prevent build-up of static electricity. For flammable fluids, any equipment attached to or associated with a valve shall be suitable for the hazard zone. 5 Testing 5.1 Production tests The production test shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of appl
49、icable valve product standards. If these standards refer to EN 12266-1 and EN 12266-2, closure test leakage rate A is required. 5.2 Type testing 5.2.1 Selection of sample valves One sample valve shall be tested. It shall be representative of the valves to be produced. If a range of valves of identical design but with different size is to be tested, one sample of the smallest and one sample of the largest shall be tested. 5.2.2 Verification of the design A second sample valve shall be inspected to ensure that the design satisfies the requirements of
