DIN Standards Committee Valves

Overview

This document (EN ISO 10497:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 153 "Valves" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 69 "Industrial valves", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). Working Committee NA 003-01-16 AA "Valves for water supply, diaphragm valves, check valves and fire hydrants as well as gate valves, globe valves, butterfly valves and ball valves" at DIN Standards Committee Valves (NAA) is responsible for the German collaboration. This document specifies fire type-testing requirements and a fire type-test method for soft- and metal-seated isolation valves with one or more obturators. It is not applicable to the testing requirements for valve actuators other than manually operated gearboxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve assembly. Other types of valve actuators (for example, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic) can need special protection to operate in the environment considered in this valve test, and the fire testing of such actuators is outside the scope of this document. This document specifies the measurement and assessment criteria for: a) through-seat leakage; b) external leakage; c) cavity overpressure relief of double-seated valves; d) operability. This document specifies the rules whereby the fire-type testing qualification for a valve can be extended to untested sizes, pressure ratings and materials of construction of the same basic design type.
