EN 144-3:2003 (E) 4 Introduction In recognition of the very high number of valves using threads of existing national design and the high costs that would be caused by the unnecessary early replacement of these, it is acknowledged that a 5 year transiti

During the ensuing period valves may be supplied with threads to the existing national design or to the standard described herein. EN 144-3:2003 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to a thread
