Caps for test connection on valves and cocks for pressure gauges
Abstract
This document is applicable for sealing caps with sealing lens to close of male test connections on valves according to DIN 16271, as well as for protective caps for test connections on cocks according to DIN 16263 and valves according to DIN 16272, for pressure gauges at a maximum permissible temperature of 120 °C and nominal pressure PN 400 (which corresponds to the maximum permissible pressure PS in bar at room temperature).
Protective caps are only utilizable for male test connections which can be shut off by the valve stem or cock plug itself and are therefore pressureless, as is the case for cocks according to DIN 16263 and shut-off valves according to DIN 16272. Sealing caps with sealing lens can always be used instead of protective caps.
