18、alves manufactured in conformity with the other parts of IEC 60534. This standard is applicable to valves with pressure ratings not exceeding Class 2500. The requirements for actuators apply only to pneumatic actuators. This standard does not apply to the types of control valves where radioactive se
19、rvice, fire safety testing, or other hazardous service conditions are encountered. If a standard for hazardous service conflicts with the requirements of this standard, the standard for hazardous service should take precedence. NOTE This standard can be extended to higher pressure ratings by agreeme
20、nt between purchaser and manufacturer. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendmen

31、orking conditions. This standard is intended only to provide guidance for negotiations between manufacturer and purchaser relative to tests of a specific valve. 4.1 Hydrostatic test All control valve assemblies, excluding welded on fittings (see 5.4.5), with or without the actuator fitted, shall be
32、subject to a hydrostatic test at the pressure stated in 5.4. 4.2 Seat leakage test The manufacturer shall advise the minimum achievable leak rate. Leakage shall be specified by the following code : X X X Leakage class as shown in Table 3: I to VI Test fluid G: air or nitrogen L: water Test procedure
33、 1 or 2 7 EN 60534-4:2006 Example: III L 1 The seat leakage test as described in 5.5 shall be performed on each valve These seat leakage provisions do not apply to control valves with rated flow coefficients less than the following: Kv= 0,086; Cv= 0,1 Class VI is intended to apply to resilient seate
34、d valves only. NOTE This part of the standard cannot be used as a basis for predicting leakage when the control valve is installed under actual operating conditions 4.3 Packing test This test as described in 5.6 applies to the main valve packing, secondary packing of bellows is excluded from this te
35、st. 4.4 Rated valve travel test Travel adjustment of control valves shall be verified by test in the factory as described in 5.7 4.5 Dead band tests The purpose of the dead band test is to measure the change in operating signal required to produce a reversal of stem (or shaft) movement at approximat
36、ely 25 %, 50 % and 75 % of the rated travel of the valve actuator. This test as described in 5.8 may be performed on the valve and actuator assembly (with or without positioner) or the actuator only (with or without positioner). 4.6 Additional tests Additional tests such as flow capacity, flow chara
37、cteristic, stroking time, hysteresis, etc. (which are outside the scope of this standard), if required, shall be the subject of agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. 5 Tests procedures 5.1 Measuring instruments 5.1.1 General Performance of measuring instruments is based on IEC 61298. The ins
38、tallation of all instruments shall be capable of meeting the requested accuracy. 5.1.2 Pressure measuring instruments The analogue or digital pressure measuring instruments used in testing shall be of the indicating or recording type but shall be installed in such a manner that they represent the ac
39、tual pressure in the component under test. The measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring the test pressure with a limit deviation of 5 % of the required test pressure. For dead band testing, the inaccuracy of the instruments shall not exceed 0,5 % of full range, and the maximum signal shall
40、be not less than 50 % of the instrument range. EN 60534-4:2006 8 5.1.3 Flow measuring instruments The accuracy of the instruments used for measuring seat leakage shall be within 10 % of full scale and shall be used within 20 % to 80 % of the scale range. 5.1.4 Travel measuring instruments The accura
41、cy of the instruments used to measure travel shall be within 0,5 % of the rated travel. 5.1.5 Calibration It shall be the valve manufacturers responsibility to maintain the accuracy of the measuring instruments. Calibration records shall be made available upon request. 5.2 Test medium The test mediu
42、m may be liquid or gas at ambient temperature as specified in each test description. a) Liquid: water at a temperature between 5 C and 50 C . The water may contain soluble oil or a rust inhibitor. b) Gas: air or nitrogen in clean condition, at a temperature between 5 C and 50 C. 5.3 Test fixtures Te
43、st fixtures shall not subject the valve to externally applied stresses that may affect the results of the tests. NOTE The test equipment can apply external loads sufficient to react the forces resulting from the test pressure. When using different test equipment and procedures to that detailed in th
44、is standard, the manufacturer shall be able to demonstrate the equivalence of his test procedures and acceptance criteria with the requirements of this standard. For butt welding end valves when end plugs are used, the seal point shall be as close to the weld end as practical without over-stressing
45、the weld preparation. 5.4 Hydrostatic test 5.4.1 Removal of internal components Components such as bellows, diaphragms, backseats or stem packing which may be damaged by the hydrostatic test pressure may be temporarily removed. 5.4.2 Test pressure Hydrostatic shell test pressure shall be according t
46、o the design code or standard for the valve body or, alternatively, shall be not less than 1,5 times the 20 C rated pressure, whichever is appropriate. If a valve is dual pressure rated (inlet rating higher than outlet rating), it may be necessary to separate the high pressure portion of the valve f
47、rom the low pressure portion with a temporary barrier and test each portion with its respective pressure. 9 EN 60534-4:2006 5.4.3 Test procedure The test liquid shall meet the specifications of 5.2 a). The body ends shall be sealed in such a way that all cavities pressurised in service shall be simu
48、ltaneously subjected to the test pressure for not less than the duration stated in Table 2. Table 2 Minimum duration of hydrostatic tests of shell Nominal size Test duration s Up to and including DN 50 / NPS 2 15 DN 65 / NPS 2,5 to DN 200 / NPS 8 60 DN 250 / NPS 10 and over 180 During this test, the
49、 control valve shall be in the partially or fully open position. Precautions shall be taken to first purge the valve of any residual air. By agreement with the purchaser, hydrostatic tests may be conducted on components. If hydrostatic tests are conducted on the individual components, the full assembled valve shall be subjected to an air test at a pressure not to exceed 6 bar. Tightening torques applied to the body bolting shall be as intended for use. 5.4.4 Acceptance criteria Vi
