Introduction It has been assumed in the preparation of this European Standard that the executio
29、n of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressure data in this European Standard are given as gauge pressures in bar, unless otherwise stated. NOTE 1 bar = 10 5N m -2= 100 kPa.Page 4 EN 12094-13:2001 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirem
30、ents and describes test methods for check and non-return valves for CO 2 , inert gas or halocarbon gas fire extinguishing systems. Non-return and check valves allow the passage in the direction of flow and they prevent flow in the reverse direction. This European Standard is applicable to check valv
31、es installed between container valve and manifold and non-return valves installed in pilot lines, except those valves which are tested in combination with non-electrical control devices. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other p
32、ublications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revi
33、sion. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
