23、 EN 14718:2014EN 14718:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determining the chlorine demand of organic materials intended for use in contact with drinking water. This European Standard is applicable to factory made and site applied products used for the distribution, tran
24、sport and storage of drinking water. This European Standard does not cover the use of high levels of chlorine to disinfect products when they are put into service. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable f

27、 free chlorine in the water compared with a reference sample SOURCE: EN ISO 7393-2:2000, 2.1 3.2 test water water used for testing purposes prepared with a free-chlorine content as described in 5.2 3.3 rinsing water test water without added chlorine 3.4 contact water test water (see 3.2) which has b
28、een in contact with a test piece under specified conditions 3.5 blank water test water (see 3.2) which has been kept at the same specified conditions (e.g. temperature, contact time, contact with any sealing material) as contact water but without contact with the test piece 3.6 flushing water tap wa

30、 product made in a factory under controlled conditions as part of the manufacturing process 3.11 site applied product manufactured item for application on-site and subsequent contact with water Note 1 to entry: In this context, the product is the final prepared surface that comes into contact with w
31、ater. 4 Principle Initially test pieces are pre-conditioned by washing and rinsing procedures. Test pieces are then completely filled with or immersed in test water. This filling or immersion procedure is carried out three times on the same test pieces under specified conditions. After each contact
32、period the contact water is immediately analysed to determine the residual content of free chlorine. Blank tests without test pieces are undertaken with the same test water to obtain blank water results. NOTE If the reduction in the free-chlorine concentration of the test water in contact with the t
33、est material is particularly high, the test will have to be repeated using fresh test samples and a reduced S/V test ratio (see 8.3). The chlorine demand of the material is based on the difference between the free chlorine content of the contact water (see 3.4) and of the blank water (see 3.5). 5 Re
34、agents 5.1 Sodium hypochlorite solution Sodium hypochlorite solution, with a concentration of about 0,1 % by mass of free chlorine determined in accordance with EN ISO 7393-2, to be prepared from a commercial solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). As this sodium hypochlorite solution is unstable,
35、it shall be prepared on the day of use. 5.2 Test water Test water shall have a conductivity of 0,2 mg/l corrective measures should be taken.; reference to this standard and to the referring standard or national regulation, if applicable; number of test pieces used together in a test, if applicable;
36、volume of the test liquid (V) in litres; surface area of the test piece exposed to the test liquid (S) in square decimetres calculated from the actual dimensions of the test pieces; actual S/V ratio; any deviation from the test procedure specified in this standard; any factors which may have affecte
37、d the results, such as any incidents or any operating details not specified in this standard; dates of start and completion of the test. c) Test results The test results shall include the calculated chlorine demand data for the three periods (CD1, CD2and CD3- see 11.1). BS EN 14718:2014EN 14718:2014
38、 (E) 14 Annex A (normative) Procedure for establishing the suitability of apparatus and test water The apparatus used for testing shall conform with the requirement that free-chlorine depletion shall not exceed 0,1 mg/l for each contact period. If new glassware or related items are introduced then t
39、his requirement shall be satisfied by pre-testing (blank test procedure). After the test procedure has been undertaken for the first time it is recommended that the test vessels are kept permanently filled with test water between tests to avoid deterioration of the surface with regard to the chlorin
40、e depletion. After the third test exposure, the vessel shall be refilled completely with test water and stored under test conditions (room temperature, not exposed to light) until the next test starts in the following week (typically Thursday through Tuesday). During these five days, chlorine deplet
41、ion shall not exceed 0,15 mg Cl2/l, otherwise the results show the need to clean the vessel. To obtain the depletion rates of the blanks (see 5.2) and the figures mentioned above for between tests, test water shall conform with 5.2. This shall be verified each time the tests are undertaken. If the t
42、ests are not carried out continuously, or if the test vessels are not kept continuously filled with chlorinated water, each test shall be preceded by a controlled filling and evaluation of the actual chlorine depletion of the test vessels as described above.

43、x B (informative) Arrangement for flushing large diameters pipes An alternative arrangement for flushing large diameter pipes is shown in Figures B.1 and B.2. This arrangement is designed to produce the required flow rate over the surface of the test piece while using the minimum quantity of water.
44、The device is a cylinder made of inert material (see 6.1) with a diameter less than that of the internal diameter of the test piece. It is essential for the diameter of the cylinder be at least 10 mm less than that of the internal diameter of the test piece. This will leave a gap of at least 5 mm be
45、tween the wall of the cylinder and the test piece. If the gap is any smaller than this, there will possibly be too much resistance to the waterflow. The wash water is delivered from a mains tap via a valve and flow meter through a pipe to a space at the bottom of the cylinder. The cylinder is suppor
46、ted on the base plate by three or four short legs. The space into which the pipe delivers the water should allow for equal flow of wash water over the whole inside of the test piece. The space has an air vent which is opened at the start of the washing period in order to let out the air which would
47、otherwise be trapped in the distribution space. Most of the volume of the cylinder is empty space which can be filled with e.g. water or sand in order to stabilize the setup. Towards the top of the cylinder there is an adjustable ring with three or four screws to adjust the height of the ring for di
48、fferent lengths of test pieces. There are also three or four screws which can be tightened into the outside of the test pieces in order to ensure that the cylinder is centred within the test piece, thus ensuring equal flows of wash water over the whole inside surface of the test piece. The position
49、of the ring is adjusted to allow a free flow of water over the top edge of the test piece. A vertical gap of about 10 mm should be sufficient.
