This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication
35、 of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2009. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2008-12-08. This document supersedes !EN 334:2005“. The start and finish of text introduced or
36、 altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! “. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 97/23/EC. For relationship with EU Directive 97/23/EC, see
37、informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. Gas pressure regulators dealt with in this document are standard gas pressure regulators and, when used in pressure regulating stations complying with EN 12186 or EN 12279, they are considered as standard pressure equipment in accorda
38、nce with Clause 3.1 of Art. 1 of Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED). For standard gas pressure regulators used in pressure regulating stations complying with EN 12186 or EN 12279, Table ZA.1 given in Annex ZA includes all applicable Essential Requirements given in Annex I of PED, !except th
39、e external corrosion resistance in case of environmental conditions where corrosion is likely to occur“. The normative Annex H of this document lists some suitable materials for pressure containing parts, inner metallic partition walls, fasteners and connectors. Other materials may be used when comp
40、lying with the restrictions given in Table 5. !deleted text“ !Continued“ integrity of gas pressure regulators is assured by periodic functional checks. For periodic functional checks it is common to refer to national regulations/standards where existing or users/manufacturers practices. According to
41、 the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lith

43、ation of gas pressure regulators used in the pressure regulating stations in accordance with EN 12186 or EN 12279:“ for inlet pressures up to 100 bar and nominal diameters up to DN 400; for an operating temperature range from -20 C to +60 C, which operate with fuel gases of the 1stand 2ndfamily in a
44、ccordance with EN 437 in transmission and distribution networks and also in commercial and industrial installations. “Gas pressure regulators“ hereafter will be called “regulators“ except in the titles. !For standard regulators when used in pressure regulating stations complying with EN 12186 or EN
45、12279, Annex ZA lists all applicable Essential Requirements except the external corrosion resistance in case of environmental conditions where corrosion is likely to occur.“ !This document considers the following classes/types of regulators:“ class 1: operating temperature range from -10 C to 60 C;
46、class 2: operating temperature range from -20 C to 60 C; ! type IS: (integral strength type); type DS: (differential strength type).“ This document applies to regulators which use the pipeline gas as a source of control energy unassisted by any external power source. The regulator may incorporate a
47、creep (venting) relief device, complying with the requirements in Annex F. The regulators complying with the requirements of this document may be declared as “in compliance with EN 334“ and bear the marking “EN 334”. This document does not apply to: regulators upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consum
